hmgauthier 's review for:

City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
5.0

“She saw Jace turning away as if the brightness of the rising sun hurt his eyes.”

It’s been a long time since I originally read this series and part of me worried it wouldn’t hold up to the love I’ve always bestowed upon it. Those worries were futile.

Clare’s descriptions, command of language and tension, ability to weave plot lines, and beautiful use of foreshadowing was inspired. It truly felt like I was reading this for the first time again.

Age and distance really made things stand out this read.

The thing that surprised me the most (but shouldn’t have): that Alec Lightwood was easily my favorite this read.
