“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating. This week’s pre-publication “can’t-wait-to-read selection” is:
Clockwork Prince
Cassandra Clare
Publication Date: December 6
Second in Cassandra Clare’s Infernal Devices sequence, this picks up where Clockwork Angel left off. Young adult urban fantasy can start to seem repetitive after a while, but Cassandra Clare (a Massachusetts resident, BTW) is the leader of the current pack in creating smart, strong characters and casually blending breezy humor with tense action scenes. Infernal Devices is a prequel to The Mortal Instruments, set in Victorian London, and adds an element of steampunk to the mix.
If you start with City of Bones now, you can read the four books that come before Clockwork Prince and be all caught up by December 6th.
This one sounds interesting. Is this a series you have to read in order, or can you jump right in?
My WoW!
Awesome! I’ve been meaning to read Clockwork Angel. I really enjoyed her Mortal Instruments series and I’ve been putting off Clockwork Angel for a bit. Should read it soon.

You could actually start with Clockwork Angel, but I recommend starting with City of Bones. 🙂 Thanks for your comment!
There is a lot of anticipation for this release. I can’t wait to read it. Carrier of the mark has been on my radar too. Can’t wait to read it. My WOW
Thanks! I’ll check it out.
