THR names ‘Clockwork Prince’ one of ‘5 Books of the Week’

The Hollywood Reporter has named Clockwork Prince as one of its ‘5 Books of the Week.’

The Clockwork Prince (Infernal Devices, book 2)by Cassandra Clare (McElderry/Simon & Schuster, 528 pages, $19.99).

With the Clockwork Prince, the second book in the Infernal Devices series—a follow-up to the earlier Mortal Instruments series—Clare emerges as a major YA star.  Publisher McElderry is giving the book a big roll-out: a 750K first printing, a collector’s edition with extra content, and a slick book trailer narrated by Gossip Girls’ Ed Westwick.  Clare has also made savvy use of social media to build her following.  The story, a prequel to the Mortal Instruments series, follows Tessa as she moves from New York to London in 1878, discovers she’s a shape shifter, and get involved with the Nephilim (the descendents of Angels and humans) as they battle demons and other magical creatures while trying to enforce the magical accords.
