City of Bones
by Cassandra Clare
Actual Rating: 3.5 β°
πππππ
2023:
What can I say? Reading trashy YA novels is a toxic trope of mine.
No, but in actuality, despite all of the stereotypical tropes that live in young adult culture, this wouldnβt have been a bad book. (view spoiler)
I still did not like or care for a majority of the characters. Clary is just your typical young adult fantasy heroine. Jace is an asshole. Simon is the whiny friend. Alec is a brooding asshole. And Isabelle did absolutely nothing wrong. She is a queen. But everyone else is on thin fucking ice, I swear!
Anyway, I heard thereβs new books coming out. And thereβs books in the series that I never even picked up. So I decided to pick up this series again. Just because. For funsies. (view spoiler)

2016:
Well, that ending was awkward.
I wasnβt even sure I was going to finish this because the story just seemed so slow and I wasnβt into any of the characters. Iβm hoping that Iβll be able to enjoy the other books in the series because I really want to give them a chance.
