Gina's Book #6: Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare

This is the second book in Cassadra Clare's series Infernal Devices. The plot of Clockwork Prince seems to be set around Tessa and her friends at The Institute fighting the powers that be to remain in control of the institution. To do this they must find the magister, who escaped at the end of Clockwork Angel, and so begins their journey researching the magister's past while uncovering some of Tessa's along the way.  While Clockwork Angel focused more on Tessa's relationship with Will, this novel concentrates on Jem. 

Clockwork Prince was a little bit slower than the first.  There were a few times that I got bored and started skim reading and honestly I have no idea who the Clockwork Prince is. I have a guess, but I don't remember it actually being put into writing, although that could very well be because of my lack of attention at points in the book. I can't decide if I like the storyline where they took Will. It helps make sense of his behavior in the first book, but also annoyed me somewhat.

Still I'm hooked on the series and because these are the only two book printed so far I have to wait a couple months for the next one to come out. I think I read that should be early next year.

I would rate this book a 6 out of 10. I would love to hear some feedback from others on what they thought.
