New Book: Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare

Now this book is quite well known so probably needs no introduction but I thought it was only proper seeing as it was released TODAY.


Also if anyone is interested here is a link to all our news posts on the Clockwork Prince (LINK) and this one is to posts on The Infernal Devices (LINK)


Release date: TODAY other wise known as 6th December 2011


Clockwork Prince (The Infernal Devices, #2)PLOT: In the magical underworld of Victorian London, Tessa Gray has at last found safety with the Shadowhunters. But that safety proves fleeting when rogue forces in the Clave plot to see her protector, Charlotte, replaced as head of the Institute. If Charlotte loses her position, Tessa will be out on the street and easy prey for the mysterious Magister, who wants to use Tessa's powers for his own dark ends.
With the help of the handsome, self-destructive Will and the fiercely devoted Jem, Tessa discovers that the Magister's war on the Shadowhunters is deeply personal. He blames them for a long-ago tragedy that shattered his life. To unravel the secrets of the past, the trio journeys from mist-shrouded Yorkshire to a manor house that holds untold horrors, from the slums of London to an enchanted ballroom where Tessa discovers that the truth of her parentage is more sinister than she had imagined. When they encounter a clockwork demon bearing a warning for Will, they realize that the Magister himself knows their every move and that one of their own has betrayed them.
Tessa finds her heart drawn more and more to Jem, though her longing for Will, despite his dark moods, continues to unsettle her. But something is changing in Will; the wall he has built around himself is crumbling. Could finding the Magister free Will from his secrets and give Tessa the answers about who she is and what she was born to do?
As their dangerous search for the Magister and the truth leads the friends into peril, Tessa learns that when love and lies are mixed, they can corrupt even the purest heart.

  1. I like the Infernal Devices series a lot more than the Mortal Instruments. I love the paranormal and the steampunk combination. The characters were awesome, especially JEM!!!! My only problem was with Tessa's undecisiveness. It was really nice to see Magnus Bane again; and it was nice to get insight into why Gabriel Lightwood hated Will so much. The secondary characters were explored further in this installment. This book had a lot more action than the first. I can't wait to read the third and final book in the series, Clockwork Princess.
