A review by tramuntana
The Mortal Instruments Boxed Set: City of Bones; City of Ashes; City of Glass, by Cassandra Clare

adventurous emotional medium-paced

2.5

I read these books in 2013 and for every good thing there was a bad thing. I liked the humour/sarcasm and also the relationship between Alec and Magnus; I disliked Clary's character and her fights with Isabelle. Now I reread it in order to determine whether or not to unhaul it. Made it halfway into the first novel and the answer is yes. The main reason for it remained to be the characters, especially Clary who is 15 but throws tantrums like an 8 year old. The tropes are just the icing on what is more an accident than a cake.
