Re-read this after several years and was pleasantly surprised to find it still as good as the first time. Even if one or two jokes aged poorly this is one hell of a book, made me laugh in publicand kick my legs like a teen in public. Successful throwback.

It was okay, it wasn't great in my opinion, I didn't like that Cassandra

make them kiss and then tell us that they are SIBLINGS, and even after that she told us that clary keep thinking him a little bit in a romantic way. And I felt like that revelation was so out of nowhere, maybe it was just me but I feel like it was just for the shock. I also felt so gross with the Magnus insinuation with Alec, like he is a grown ass men and alec is a teenager

Even after that, it wasn't so bad, I didn't got attached with any of the characters but I like the universe that she created.

It wasn't memorable but it was nice for kill time.

Holy plot twists Batman. The last 50-100 pages were crazy full of twists and turns. Lots of betrayal, misrepresentations of the past, etc. Overall, this book felt a little more YA than I typically like. Clary is clearly 15 and while the shadowhunter teens are older it is not by much. Some of the things they said or did were stupid honestly, but not overly so (it was only sometimes). I like these characters, they are very distinct and I’m looking forward to seeing where this goes. Though with a title like City of Bones I would have thought that this book would spend more than 2 chapters in the actual City of Bones. Clary was kind of dense when it came to catching on to the plot twists too lol. This book is a bit shallow in terms of world building, etc. but I’m hoping I get more throughout the books.
