This is the second book in the Infernal Devices series. Charlotte and the rest of the Shadowhunters living at the Institue have been given two weeks to find and neutralize the mysterious Magister. Tessa is growing to like Jem, though she still has feelings for Will. Will’s curse has plagued him for more than five years – will he ever find a way to remove it? And when a traitor is revealed, it could mean the lives of everyone Tessa loves.
I think this was Clare’s weakest book to date. There was a lot of Tessa dithering about her feelings for Will and Jem, and there’s not much action. While I enjoyed some of the more subtle parts of Tessa’s role in this one, I mostly found it boring. I was frustrated with the lack of communication going on in this one, and can only give it a 5.5.
