A review by azulization
City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
4.0
*Re-read Feb.19/17-Feb.26/17*
I read the first three books of The Mortal Instruments series back when I was in elementary school and had always had fond memories of it. However, later on I learned that it was not in fact a completed trilogy but continued on up to six books. At that point, though, I hadn't had the time nor patience to pick up an old beloved series from where I left off.
Since I was on vacation this past week (and returned today for my birthday), I had the pleasure of rereading the first instalment of TMI and once again found myself full of joy while reading. While I did remember bits and pieces of the story back from when I had first read it, it was like reading it all over again which allowed me to fall in love with the characters as I once did.
Often times I found myself noticing things I hadn't when I read it many years ago, and was impressed many times by Cassandra Clare's foreshadowing throughout the various chapters.
I can't wait to dive into the rest of the series, both with the books I remember and with the ones that will be completely new to me!
