Today's review is on:
The back reads:
When Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder. Much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with odd markings. This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons - and keeping the odd werewolves and vampires in line. It's also her first meeting with gorgeous, golden-haired Jace. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in an ordinary mundane like Clary? And how did she suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know...
I got introduced to this series when I went to the movie theatre to watch a movie (duh, jeez I can be so obvious!) and the City of Bones trailer played across the screen. So I'm like: "Hey, that looks pretty cool, I'm gonna need to read that." Went to the book store, picked it up, and I woke up a week later when I had finished the last page. Yeah, that's right, it's that good.
I seriously thought that Clary was going crazy for a couple pages. Seriously, you should check it out.
Whale, I was going to explain a lot of things about the love triangle in this book but...
Soooo... Let's just say there is one and get on with it...
The battles were pretty epic, all full of action and stuff. Clary really grows as a character while her mom is missing. She turns from a normal mundane into a fighting sort-of Shadowhunter, and in a way, you (as the reader) do too.
In conclusion, this book was really great and I would definitely recommend it.
My favorite part:
" 'No way are we bringing her to the Institute,' said Isabelle. 'She's a mundie'
'Or is she?' said Jace softly. His quiet tone was worse than Isabelle's snapping or Alec's anger. 'Have you had dealings with demons, little girl? Walked with warlocks, talked with the Night Children? Have you-'
'My name is not little girl,' Clary interrupted. 'And I have no idea what you're talking about.' Don't you? said a voice in the back of her head. You saw that boy vanish into thin air. Jace isn't crazy - you just wish he was. 'I don't believe in - in demons, or whatever you-'
'Clary?' It was Sam's voice. She whirled around. He was standing by the storage room door. One of the burly bouncers who'd been stamping hands at the front door was next to him. 'Are you okay?' He peered at her through the gloom. 'Why are you in here by yourself? What happened to the guys - you know, the ones with knives?'
Clary stared at him, then looked behind her, where Jace, Isabelle, and Alec stood, Jace still in his bloody shirt with the knife in his hand. He grinned at her and dropped a half-apologetic, half-mocking shrug. Clearly he wasn't surprised that neither Simon nor the bouncer could see them."
Well, that's all for this book! I'll see you in the next one!
