As they attempt to celebrate their hard-won victory, dark clouds gather overhead, foreshadowing the challenges that lie ahead. The city around them is a labyrinth of supernatural intrigue, and the stakes have never been higher.

Haunted by the remnants of their latest encounter, Clary struggles to regain a sense of normalcy amidst the chaos.

3 🌟 City of Bones was a fun and quick read, perfect for binge-reading. The pacing was great, balancing action, suspense, and moments of introspection, which kept me hooked throughout the book.At first, the dialogue felt a bit cringey and annoying, but once I remembered that the characters were just kids, it was easy to overlook, I guess, but it was sometimes annoying nonetheless. The world-building was one of the standout features for me. I haven't come across a fantasy world quite like this one before. The descriptions were vivid and clear, making it easy to imagine the world in my mind and understand what was going on. It felt fresh and unique, and I really appreciated that.As for the characters, I was a bit torn. Alec and Simon felt more grounded and real to me than the others. While I understand why some people might think Clary is "useless," I get that she’s just been thrown into a completely new world without the necessary skills or knowledge to be much help to anyone. She's still learning, and I think or hope her growth will come later in the series.The whole "incest" twist was a bit strange, but it's clear to me that it's more of a manipulation tactic than anything else. I’m still not entirely sure what purpose it serves in the plot, though.Valentine, the villain, didn’t impress me much. He felt underwhelming, and I didn’t quite get what I was expecting from him. He lacked the depth I thought he would have, which was a bit disappointing.Overall, City of Bones is a book that I enjoyed, even though it didn’t blow me away. It’s easy to get lost in the story, and I’m definitely curious to see where the series goes from here. I’m looking forward to reading the next book to see how the characters and plot develop.
