Publisher's summary

In the magical underworld of Victorian London, Tessa Gray has at last found safety with the Shadowhunters. But that safety proves fleeting when rogue forces in the Clave plot to see her protector, Charlotte, replaced as head of the Institute. If Charlotte loses her position, Tessa will be out on the street - and easy prey for the mysterious Magister, who wants to use Tessa’s powers for his own dark ends.

The special Collector’s First Edition will include a never-before-seen letter from Will to his family!

With the help of the handsome, self-destructive Will and the fiercely devoted Jem, Tessa discovers that the Magister’s war on the Shadowhunters is deeply personal. He blames them for a long-ago tragedy that shattered his life. To unravel the secrets of the past, the trio journeys from mist-shrouded Yorkshire to a manor house that holds untold horrors, from the slums of London to an enchanted ballroom where Tessa discovers that the truth of her parentage is more sinister than she had imagined. When they encounter a clockwork demon bearing a warning for Will, they realize that the Magister himself knows their every move - and that one of their own has betrayed them.

Tessa finds her heart drawn more and more to Jem, though her longing for Will, despite his dark moods, continues to unsettle her. But something is changing in Will - the wall he has built around himself is crumbling. Could finding the Magister free Will from his secrets and give Tessa the answers about who she is and what she was born to do?

As their dangerous search for the Magister and the truth leads the friends into peril, Tessa learns that when love and lies are mixed, they can corrupt even the purest heart.

Excellent!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Clockwork Prince to be better than the print version?

I have not had the chance to read the print version.

What other book might you compare The Clockwork Prince to and why?

Certainly any of Cassandra Clare's other writings, but I think the story could also be compaired to any typical fantasy teen book but it is just a bit better.

What does Ed Westwick and Heather Lind bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I really enjoyed Ed Westwick's voice - I could listen to that man read a phone book! Heahter Lind did a good job as well but I would have liked to hear Ed a little more throughout.

love it

wonderful story told from multiple perspectives lots of mystery and humor I recommend to all lovers of steam punk and adventure

A good 2nd novel...

Would you listen to The Clockwork Prince again? Why?

Yes, I love Clare's writing, and the narration was fabulous.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Will Herondale. Although I love Jem I still feel that true love should win out.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Sometimes. I enjoyed the 1st book more, and I found that the story didn't advance fast enough.

Love this series!

I love Cassandra Clare's books! This is definitely one of my top 10 favorite series! Can't wait to listen to "The Clockwork Princess"

Loved This!

Out of the three novels this one was my favorite! I really wish they'd had Ed Westwick and Heather Lind narrate the entire series.

two readers

over all I loved I loved the book the ending is a bit of a shock but a good one. the thing I don't like about it is that there are two people reading the book it is a bit distracting when readers change in middle of the chapter. that said I will be listening to the book book again and look forward to seeing how Will is going to be a jerk in the next book.

narrators irritated me; love the book

this book had 3 narrators, or at least it felt like it did. they went back and forth. I understand having two, but 3?! one had a really terrible British accent.

overall, I love love love this book and deal with the cray cray narrators. I wish the lady who read the first book in the series did this one too.

Love these books!

I love that they added a male as the narrator (along with a female), but I found the male narrator’s voices should match the female narrator’s a little better (their voices for Tessa were completely different).

Gripping

Absolutely enthralled by this book! Ed Westwick was a fantastic reader - he truly captured the characters. This story has all the feels and while I know what happens (to an extent) I look forward to seeing how Jem, Will, and Tessa get there.

Very interesting read!

I Loved it. Can't wait to start Clockwork Princess! I enjoy the connection of characters between the Mota Instruments and the infernal devices.
