Estuvo entretenido, pero un poco predecible y las cosas se resolvieron de una manera muy simple para lo complejo que supuestamente era. Se nota que está dirigido a una audiencia más adolescente, pero estuvo bien. Leeré la continuación.

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.

2.0

A selfish young woman ignores warnings from those around her to fall for an arrogant young man. People hurt themselves to try to save her, but she doesn't listen.
