Clockwork Prince

A continuation in Infernal Devices series. Actually, once I started the series, I really just had to keep going which speaks well of it.

Will inadvertently revealed that he had feelings for Tessa and he runs to Magnus Bane which starts a sort sub-plot that explains Will's spiky behavior. In the meantime, it becomes clear that not every shadowhunter believes a woman can run an institute and Charlotte's position as head is challenged by Benedict Lightwood. The institute has two weeks to find the Magister, Mortmain, or loose the institute.

Jem and Tessa get closer as Will works to find a solution to his problem. Gabriel and Gideon Lightwood are frequent visitors to the institute to train both Tessa and Sophie. Of course no one really believes that's all they are up to.

This is a fairly typical middle book in a series. The plot moves forward. What Clare has done well though, is weave in new levels of intrigue and new characters.
