Unfortunately I had to skip over the third book in this series as my time ran out with the two I had before it came back from a patron. Despite the leap, I was able to still follow the series. The fourth volume is the weirder of the two as there are multiple keys that all do weird stuff. These keys are then presented in sort of a flashback way. The weirdness factor really ramps up though. Bode who is the only one who can discover keys, becomes a bird for awhile. They also battle sentient rose bushes, an army of stuffed animals and of course the perils that come from high school.Clockwork on the other hand focuses more on one key that allows people to look back through time. They use the key to see how the keys were created and learn they can make more keys. They also learn of the hidden evil that is behind all of their troubles. The historical aspect is a tad over done in my opinion but does really put the story into perspective.
I do really love the Locke and Key series as a whole and can now look forward to reading the conclusion and third book.
