Critic reviews

"The plot is fantastic and so original! Twists, turns, mysterious, haunting moments. It had my pulse facing, heart pounding tears rolling down my face and smiling with excitement.” (Dark Readers)

Love the book but the voiceovers did distract from it a bit. Whilst Lind has a lovely speaking voice when using her own accent and dialect her accents and voice work left me cold.
If you cannot convincingly deliver an accent then it is better to read without one

Great story but some small drawbacks

Like every Cassandra Clare book I have read, this has believable characters and an absorbing plot. The narrative is fast paced with plenty of plot twists. I personally prefer the performance to either be a full cast or a single reader. That having been said, Heather Lind and Ed Westwick both performed well and I'd have been happy if either of them had performed the whole book alone. I enjoyed this and would happily recommend it to anyone. a
Although it is aimed at a young adult audience there is plenty to satisfy older readers too.

A galloping good read.

The story, performances and characters of this book are all incredible. The story can be very moving and the performances add so much depth to the characters. I’m looking forward to listening to book 3.

The book is marvellous. I read all three of the Infernal Devices back to back when they were first published.

It’s a treat to listen to the books on audible however I found Ed Hardwick’s characterisation of Will and Benedict Lightwood off putting.

The other narrator was wonderful, interesting ; charming and read with real understanding of the books characters.

Marvellous book

I loved Cassandra’s portrayal of the main characters. Developing their storylines. The narration was also good.

A fabulously detailed fantasy fiction trilogy
