review 1: The only reason this book even has two stars instead of one or less is because of the two side characters-- ZANE & Robin.UGH. What a disappointment! By the end I was skimming because I was so freaking annoyed. Maybe it's the fact that other fictional boyfriends / couples have ruined me, but there were so many things that just made me roll my eyes and become so irrationally irritated that I skimmed the last 20% of the book.Dumb dumb DUMB. It was SO dumb that some stupid plot device was introduced near the beginning of the book to literally make it so the main couple couldn't touch each other???? It was the most ridiculous excuse to keep a couple apart that I have ever read! And so most of the book they didn't touch at all, and there was even a freaking scene where Garrett w... moreas pouring his freaking heart out to the point where he shed a freaking tear but NOOOO THEY COULDN'T TOUCH AND SHE COULDN'T COMFORT HIM BECAUSE SHE HAD TO BE ABLE TO COMPLETE HER TRAINING AND APPARENTLY TOUCHING HIM DRAINED THEIR ENERGY OR INTERFERES WITH IT OR SOMETHING?And that's when my mind shoots to all of these other amazing couples who essentially say "fuck the rules" and put each other as their priority above all else *coughs*Daemon Black, Roth, Will Herondale*coughs*. Not so with these two! Sigh. Sighs again. And sighs a third time for dramatic effect.Whatever. WhatthefreakingEVER.And so many things I wanted to see happen with Garrett and Nalena never happened. Like them kicking ass as a team with the Big Bad? Nope. That part was given to Nalena and her stupidass dad who freaking murdered her mother and her grandfather in the previous book. Oh, and Garrett decided to freaking LEAVE NALENA LOCKED IN THE ROOM WITH THE BIG BAD TO DO HIS DUTY TO GET OTHER PEOPLE OUT SAFELY? Fuck that shit. (Daemon Black would have never done that to Katy. Will Herondale would have never done that to Tessa.) And then he doesn't come back and she gets all tortured and shit before teaming up with the worst character EVER to defeat them all. Why? I mean come ON. The romance had such great potential from the third book and this one completely bombed it out of the water. What? Is it just 'not cool' to put a lot of emphasis on romantic love and romantic relationships?This book was such a big letdown that I'm beginning to regret even picking up the books in the first place. But I shall give the next book a try. Luckily this one destroyed so much of my investment in the main couple that I won't have any problem dropping this series like a hot potato if things keep going to shit in the next book.The ending of the book was pretty cute, though. Things could get better. But oh god do I have a lot of irritation to get over.Edit: Eh, I just looked over what happens in the next book and I don't think I'm going to continue from what I've read.
review 2: Nach der Begeisterung für das erste Buch der Reihe muss ich sagen, bin ich von dem zweiten Buch enttäuscht. Irgendwie gibt es nur ein großes Ereignis und das hängt sich an einem Freeball auf, den man sich zwar vorstellen kann, der aber irgendwie seltsam war. So ähnlich, wie diese mechanischen Dinge in 'Wild, wild West' ... egal ...Jedenfalls sucht Nalena weiterhin nach Antworten und erfährt mehr über die Vergangenheit ihrer Eltern. Dann beginnt das Ende der Welt und die Ianua ziehen sich in das Hotel zurück.Und das war es dann auch schon ...Bin gerade am dritten Band, habe aber gerade Pause eingelegt, um 'Clockwerk Princess' zu lesen. Ja, nicht alle mechnanischen Wesen/Dinge finde ich seltsam. :-) less
