INFERNAL DEVICES-BOOK THREE



TITLE: CLOCKWORK PRINCESS
AUTHOR:CASSANDRA CLARE
SERIES: THE INFERNAL DEVICES
RATING:★★★

SUMMARY:

Tessa Gray should be happy—aren't all brides happy? Yet as she prepares for her wedding, a net of shadows begins to tighten around the Shadowhunters of the London Institute. A new demon appears, one linked by blood and secrecy to Mortmain, the man who plans to use his army of pitiless automatons, the Infernal Devices, to destroy the Shadowhunters. Mortmain needs only one last item to complete his plan. He needs Tessa. And Jem and Will, the boys who lay equal claim to Tessa's heart, will do anything to save her.


REVIEW:

I think i am bipolar after reading this book, it has totally engulfed me within it.
I have read a lot of books but trust me on this that this book is one among my most cherished books ever.
I gave this book a five out of five stars because i haven't read a series that was put into an end that tastefully and wonderfully
So if you haven't read the first and second book of the series i would recommend you to read those only than would you be able to understand this book.

Lets start with the characters, so what i liked in this book was that apart from Will, James and Tessa for obvious reasons was the real importance given to the other characters starting from Charlotte, Henry,Sophia, Gabriel and Gideon who are the Lightwood brothers, Magnus Bane, and of course Mortmain,and even Bridgette the cook. Each of them had a very specific area and they stood out to be really nice , also there was new love angles forming and the new dynamics within ,which was wonderful to read about.

The plot goes around as how Mortmain wants Tessa for his purpose and we come to know why he wants Tessa and what exactly is Tessa. Her powers to shape shift has always been a mystery as she was not a Warlock and here you will discover what exactly she is and why Mortmain needs her alive to complete his purpose, and what exactly his purpose is.

I really loved the love triangle going on in this series between Jem ,Tessa and Will and it was so sad for me because i was so sandwiched between whom to take sides with in this book because here we see a whole new aspect in Will and Jem's character.

The bromance going on is awesome, the term PARABATHAI  itself is so new and fresh and to love each other and be as one soul in two bodies is what Jem and Will are about , and they give a whole new definition as to what brotherly love is.

There are no such negatives about this book that i would pin point except for the fact that the confrontation between the Shadowhunters and Mortmain was really lacking in some extra punch and the automatons he created with demons inside them though sounded super cool didn't really make the action scene too dynamic.

The ending OMGish ....it was perfect and i mean too perfect and on second thoughts i think ' well in real does this happen'  but hey who cares because for me the ending rocked and it was just bewitchingly beautiful.

Now that the series is over i am in grief and delight , in grief because the series is over and i wish i could read this all over again and experience the gushing moments altogether but also i am happy because the book couldn't have ended any better than this.

A book i would recommend everyone...Go grab it...Happy New Year everyone...

“Of course you can have a true Shadowhunter name," Will said. "You can have mine."
Tessa stared at him, all black and white against the black-and-white snow and stone. "Your name?"
Will took a step toward her, till they stood face-to-face. Then he reached to take her hand and slid off her glove, which he put into his pocket. He held her bare hand in his, his fingers curved around hers. His hand was warm and callused, and his touch made her shiver. His eyes were steady and blue; they were everything that Will was: true and tender, sharp and witty, loving and kind. "Marry me," he said. "Marry me, Tess. Marry me and be called Tessa Herondale. Or be Tessa Gray, or be whatever you wish to call yourself, but marry me and stay with me and never leave me, for I cannot bear another day of my life to go by that does not have you in it.” 
― Cassandra ClareClockwork Princess

“Will rose slowly to his feet. He could not believe he was doing what he was doing, but it was clear that he was, clear as the silver rim around the black of Jem’s eyes. “If there is a life after this one,” he said, “let me meet you in it, James Carstairs.”

BEARD??



BEARD,STUBBLE OR CLEAN SHAVED , WHICH OF THESE DO U PREFER ??


This may have come across really random but seriously we girls have different choices but well 70% of you may agree with me that men who are clean shaved are so much more sexy and alluring..
I mean come on girls who wants a gorilla right...i will tell you a personal experience down below..

For example look at Brad Pitt 

The picture of before and after, it looks a thousand time different and why ? Simply because that beard make him look really aged and aggressive;while some of you may argue that beards make you look manly , i think its really unhygienic too if you double check so i prefer clean shaved men and clean shaved men really look CLEAN ...and sophisticated and get sophisticated women too..i mean he got ANGIE guys. Guys cant deny the fact that shaving really takes of years and makes a man look younger, look at the picture above again and you will know it for sure.

Women in general love guys who are clean and neat at least if  not a clean bedroom they expect a neat hygiene too. Who the hell would like to kiss a man who has food or anything stuck on his beard. ERRR...EWWWWWW!!!!! 

A particular instance happened with me once. It all started in college canteen ,so i meet this handsome looking guy and we talk and talk and decide to meet up for a date next Friday and then BOOM....he comes up that day at the cafe all geared up for a date and i am like 

' You look different'

(WELL WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOUR FACE? WHATS WITH THE BEARD)

This is what i was thinking and he told me that his friends told him that beard is so in and it makes guys look more of a man than a teenager ...well he didn't know that he looked less of a man but more of a SCARECROW.. because even a stubble needs to be shaped well and it is not necessary that since it suits David Beckham or John Abraham that it would suit any other person too...

That was the END...

So i think guys need to really analyse and act their age and not try to be overly matured cause it is not a turn on but a total turn off . If you know that it suits you and it does than go ahead and if not then please grab those RAZORS and chuck it off and glam the girls.

GOD IS A GAMER



TITLE: GOD IS A GAMER
AUTHOR: RAVI SUBRAMANIAN
RATING:★★★

SUMMARY:

Aditya runs a gaming company that is struggling to break even. A banker slips off a
highrise building, plunging to her death. The finance minister has made some promises
that he is finding hard to keep. The LTTE has unleashed terror in America that sends
the FBI on a wild goose chase, bringing them to Mumbai.
Enter Varun, parttime drug dealer and fulltime genius. He turns around the gaming
company before disaster strikes. Meanwhile, the investigators plunge headlong into
the shady world of bitcoins and the Dark Net, websites that only exist for illegal
transactions—drugs, sex and money. God Is a Gamer culminates in a stunning climax
where money means nothing, assassination is taught by the ancient Greeks, and nothing
is as it seems.

REVIEW;

BOOM...this book was packed with thrill right from the beginning.
I received the signed copy of the book but was not able to review it earlier because i had my finals, anyways coming back to the book, i loved the book.

Honestly i was a bit hesitant as to how i would like this book after i read the first few pages of it because it had lot of  terms which i would refer to as too calculative and economy based, so i was a bit on the other side but as the story unfolds it gets more interesting and you get the idea and how the bitcoins and how the giant finances work.

The book kicks start with the US senator being killed and the resulting investigations to figure it out.

Then comes two large corporate heads i.e. Vijay Banga who is the President of MasterCard International and Joseph Saunders the CEO of VISA International

Later on India comes to the scene where an International banking company faces trouble when the people are scammed off their money.  

I think this book is for those people who are interested in banking cause it has a huge amount of banking topics in it.

Since it is a thriller a mystery if i write much about it you would get to know the plot a bit so i would not take away the reading experience from you because trust me guys i know how it feels like when someone give you the spoilers.

All in all it is not my absolute favorite because the ending was quite predictable but the twist and the turns and the plot to be precise kept me hooked.

If you like thrillers or you have a cliche with banking books i would suggest you to read it.
