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.

Conclusion:

'Clockwork Prince' is the second book in the 'The Infernal Devices' series, which is a prequel to 'The Mortal Instruments'. 

I read this book in one sitting because it was so freaking good. Cassandra Clare keeps breaking my heart and putting it back together. 

I have said it before but I love how almost every character loves literature. It makes them a little bit more relatable for me. The things they say about books are basically the same things I feel. 

The quote I put under the picture is my favorite quote of all time. I even got it tattooed on my underarm because I love it so much. 

In this book, we have a little bit more romance than we had in 'Clockwork Angel'. 

I really want my future husband to write me the kind of love letters that Will writes. 

Next to The Perks of Being a Wallflower, 'Clockwork Prince' is my favorite book of all time.

+5 out of 5 stars
