Tessa, Will, Jem, and the others at the Institute are on a 2 week deadline to find the Magister, or risk losing the Institute. Tessa continues to be tempted by both Will and Jem, and she painfully tries to unravel how she feels about them. Secondary characters are further fleshed out, new motives are revealed, and danger waits around every corner.
I thought that Tessa was more likable in this book than in Clockwork Angel. She seemed more sure of herself, quicker to speak out. Some of Will's carefully erected shields are torn down, and we get a look at the real William Herondale. (just as hot as the fake one, I promise!) Jem, like Tessa, appears less complacent and a little more fiery in this book, which I greatly enjoyed. We also delve further into Jessamine and Charlotte's histories. Overall, this book is just as good as Clockwork Angel, with a double dose of romance, danger, demons, and downworlders.
On a closing note, one of my favorite things about this series is the writing. For example, in Clockwork Angel, I never knew taking off a glove could be one of the most emotional, seductive, intimate scenes that could be written. Well, Cassandra Clare did it, and Clockwork Prince is just as beautiful.
I HIGHLY recommend this book.
