Plus the character trope of male characters being a rude pig for the good of a potential love interest is tiresome and not a trope I particularly enjoy. There were also many reveals, but none that fully rocked me to the core – so as a consequence, ‘ Clockwork Prince’ did not engage and wow me as much as pervious titles in this series. While I really enjoyed this story, the pacing suffered at times. Could finding the Magister free Will from his secrets and give Tessa answers about who she really is? As their search leads to deadly peril, Tessa learns that secrets and lies can corrupt even the purest heart.Ī steampunk Shadowhunter tale with the bad boy, his well-behaved best friend, and a girl who may or may not be a warlock. Tessa is drawn more and more to Jem, though her longing for Will continues to unsettle her.

When they encounter a clockwork demon bearing a warning for Will, they realize that the Magister knows their every move-and that one of their own has betrayed them. To unravel the secrets of the past, the trio journeys from mist-shrouded Yorkshire to a manor house that holds untold horrors. With the help of the handsome, tortured Will and the devoted Jem, Tessa discovers that the Magister’s war on the Shadowhunters is deeply personal and fueled by revenge.

But that safety proves fleeting when it becomes clear that the mysterious Magister will stop at nothing to use Tessa’s powers for his own dark ends. In the magical underworld of Victorian London, Tessa Gray has found safety with the Shadowhunters.
