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.

Meh. I mean, it was okay - if you like Percy Jackson then you’d probably like this - the anime and manga references were also very much appreciated. Overall it just so so, and I never felt that joy or pull making me want to go back and read more.

This was a pretty good read and intro to the Shadowhunter series but the whole Jace and Clary as siblings ruined this for me.
