A review by helenbellauthor
City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
4.0
Though I didn't enjoy this as much as some of Cassandra Clare's other work, that's largely a measure of how high she's set the bar rather than due to any particular weaknesses in this story. I liked the way almost every character grows and develops, and there's a very clear sense of there being more to learn, about them, the land of Idris and the power of the Cup. The rest of the series beckons!
As a writer I particularly loved the little snippet at the end, showing Jace and Clary's picnic in the rooftop conservatory from Jace's point of view. Not only was it too beautifully written a piece to scrap, sometimes even if you can weave another point of view into later book in a series it's just too long to wait, so nice to see the author break convention and put it in here.
