We all see what we want to see.

I didn't read The Mortal Instruments series when I was younger, but I'm glad that one of the Fable book clubs I joined will be reading the whole series in the next couple of months. 

City of Bones was funny, mainly because of Jace's sarcasm. I was engrossed in the story because it was action-packed. However, there were times when I felt that everything was an info dump, and the dialogue was cringe-worthy. Nevertheless, I heard that the writing improves as the series progresses. 

Despite these issues, I really enjoyed reading it and can't wait to read the rest of the series and become addicted to the Shadowhunters world.

A selfish young woman ignores warnings from those around her to fall for an arrogant young man. People hurt themselves to try to save her, but she doesn't listen.

idk. lots of info-dumping. weird dialogue for a bunch of teens. the pacing was fast yet slow at the same time.
