In the magical underworld of Victorian London, Tessa Gray has at last found safety with the Shadowhunters. But that saftey 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. (More on Goodreads)
The Clockwork Prince starts where it is left off in Clockwork Angel. Tessa is still struggling with her new found life, and still does not know what or who she is. But Tessa has found some sort of comfort in the London Institute along with the new friends she has made.
Getting to the plot of this book was a tid bit slow, but I enjoyed it regardless. Clare has a way of grabbing your attention to the minor things, while building up something heavy that will blow your socks away near the end. Oh, and there was a lot more Jem in this book then there was in CA. So for those of you who are Jem fans, woo! There are many twists in this book that I totally did not see coming from sweet romance to what the sh--. I absolutely loved the way Clare describes the London area. Reading CP made me want to live in England and explore its ancient streets.
There was a great deal of character development. From Sophie to even Will! Let me tell you, I loved the romance Sophie has with an individual in this book. I thought it was super adorable! The only person in this book that I felt like who had an underdevelopment is Tessa Gray. Tessa was a completely indecisive individual who I felt like punching in the face sometimes. I mean I get it you have two gorgeous guys after you, but really, must you lead them both on? I hope she improves in Clockwork Princess. Once I finished reading this, I was totally heartbroken. I never liked Will, but after this he just broke my heart. I can't seem to favour one out of the two boys! It's impossible! I hope to see some sort of resolution happen in the next book, or I will cry.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed reading Clockwork Prince and will definitely be reading Clockwork Princess, but god do I have to wait so long for it? I give this book a 4.5/5 !
I cant seem to choose between Will and Jem in this book either. Finally, we get to learn more about the mysterious Will Herondale, which is pretty exciting. Jem is as beautiful as ever, and in this book, he shows himself more. He doesn't let people take advantage of him anymore, which pleased me alot.
ReplyDeleteIn this book, I got to learn many things about the characters, especially that I finally found out who the mysterious traitor is. I was extremely happy with the ending, and I literally squealed when I was done with it. I can't wait for the third book, Clockwork Princess, to come out!
