A review by hannibalhamlet
City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
3.0
I choose to look past the terrible writing because Cassandra did come up with an interesting storyline that has lots of potential. I really do like the whole Shadow World concept, so that alone keeps me interested. I can’t give it more than 3 stars though.
However, her writing at times is just sooooo bad. And perhaps it’s hard for me to turn off my critical eye since I work in tech as a writer/editor, but the grammatical errors alone were everywhere, and her detail at times is either too gaudy and over the top or just plain dumb. Something about the armory looking exactly how she (clary) pictured an armory would look like? Like what ??? Why did she even write that
