Title: City of Bones
Author: Cassandra
Claire
What it’s about:
When
fifteen-year-old 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 strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then
the body disappears into thin air. It’s hard to call the police when the
murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing—not even a
smear of blood—to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?
This is Clary’s first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors
dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It’s also her first encounter with
Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a
jerk. 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 ordinary mundanes like Clary and her
mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like
to know. . . .
Our Overall Rating: 6- Incomprehensible!
What we thought about
it:
We
definitely had to write about this first since it’s coming out in theaters soon
and our blog is named after it. Overall it was a really good book, but it
wasn’t like the best thing ever. It’s an imaginative fantasy book written in
third person. Even though we loved the characters more than the actual book,
it’s definitely worth your time. It was very suspense filled and there were a
TON of plot twists (especially one at the end that left us in
shock!!!!!.....!!!!!.....!!!!). If you have read it you know what we are talking
about!
If you
liked “
Harry Potter” then this somewhat sounds like the match for
you. I can’t even count the creatures they have, but just to name a few:
-
Shadowhunters (Demon killers)
-
Vampires
-
Werewolves
-
Fairies
-
Warlocks (Superpower/Magical kind of person)
This book does have the occasional curse word, so there
isn’t much to worry about. Romance plays a role- a big one, but you don’t
realize that until later. There is kissing here and there- nothing you can’t
handle. However, at the end, romance is a larger key and it probably will
disgust you. We have one thing to tell you:
KEEP READING.
READ THE NEXT BOOK.
JUST DO IT.
Just trust us. J
Until next time!
Xoxoxo,
