circumstances in which it was placed on him. After he finds out he rushes to try
to tell Tessa only to find out that she is already with someone else. They
continue to try to solve their problems with their friends by their
sides.
I
thoroughly enjoyed this book and I really want to read the next one in the
series. It had lots of twists and turns and the characters' interactions added
lots of depth to the book. I liked the fact that it takes place in Victorian
times and that there are small details that make it seem more real. The magical
elements in the book are also very intriguing and they keep you interested. I
would recommend this book to teenagers who like books about magic or adventures
in general. As I was reading the book, I had to think back to events that
happened before and I also had to use my imagination to visualize the scenes in
my head. I thought that it was a really exciting book and I recommend it to
anyone looking for a good book to read.

Clockwork Prince is the second edition in the Infernal Devices series. Tessa is finally safe with the Shadowhunters and lives in their Institute in London. The head of the Institute, Charlotte, is challenged by the Clave. They give her an ultimatum: either she finds Mortmain, the evil villain building a clockwork army, or Benedict Lightwood will replace her as head of the Institute. Tessa, meanwhile, is torn between Jem and Will, and must deal with the fact that her brother, her only family left, is a traitor who works for the enemy.
Clockwork Prince is even better than the first book in the series! I really, really loved it. The characters are hilarious as usual and super funny, and the romance was breathtaking. The action was thrilling, and the writing was terrific. I would rate it an 11 out of 10 and would recommend to fans of the series.
