City of Bones ()

So I've finished another book. The first novel in the Mortal Instruments series: City of Bones. It's your typical teen fantasy novel. It was a fast read and easy to read, so I flew through it. There were some inconsistencies, and the characters were a bit wishy-washy. I can't say it's a terrible book though. And I still want to read the rest of the series.

This book follows a youth named Clary who finds out her mother is a Shadowhunter, and has disappeared. She then meets up with 3 other young shadowhunters who would help her find her mother. Clary learned a lot about the downworlders, the shadow world and all that comes with it. It ends with a man name Valentine returning and Clary finding out that he is her father, and that her friend Jace is also her brother (Valentine is also his father). Basically, now the good shadowhunters will be joining forces to help beat Valentine so that he doesn't destroy the shadow world and human world.

This is a typical teen fantasy. Great way to escape reality for a bit, and a fast page turner. Not a whole lot else to be said about it. I am continuing to read the series, so until next time, Happy Reading!
