The
search for the Magister continues, and after a fellow Shadowhunter,
Benedict Lightwood insists that Charlotte is not good enough to run
the institute, the Clave give her two weeks to find the location of
the Magister, or have the institute fall into the hands of Benedict.
The Shadowhunters are on a race against time to find the location of
The Magister, but all is not as it seems, and they find out that they
have a traitor under their very roof. Meanwhile, Will finds out the
truth about what really happened during an event in his childhood,
while Tessa grows closer to Jem, and finds herself torn between the
two boys.
After
reading the first book in this series I was hooked, and have to
continue to find out what would happen next. In the first book,
although I loved both Will and Jem, I always preferred Will, as I
always seem to like the characters who seem tortured and act a bit of
an ass because of not knowing how to deal with their problems.
However, Jem's character has been developed further in Clockwork
Prince, and I found myself loving this character just as much, if not
more than Will, so I now feel Tessa's pain of not being able to
choose between the two. Yes I am that person who falls in love with
fictional characters and I regret nothing. Although the love triangle
is a big plot point in this book, there was still enough action to
stop it from being solely about the romance, and there are a couple
of shocks along the way. I will definitely be reading the final
installment of this series, as although Clockwork Prince revealed a
lot about the characters, there are still some plot points that have
yet been unsolved, and I can't wait to find out how this series ends.
