Even better than the first title in the series, Clockwork Prince picks up the story of Tessa, Will, and Jem, who we soon find out are in a rather twisted love triange (while also dealing with the main struggle in the book - finding the evil Magister who is trying to marry Tessa and take over the British Empire with an army of automatons). We finally find out why Will is so rude and horrid to everyone, and we also find out Jem (Will's battle buddy) is in love with Tessa and has no problems showing it. Also, we finally have a heroine who isn't willing to pine away for an unrequited love. Woo hoo!

Loving this series and time period. I wish this one was the movie coming out in the Fall.
