I thought it was about time that I actually posted a review for you guys, but if it is a bit short I apologise, it is only my first one after all! It seemed like a good idea to start off with a book that is from one of my all time favourite series, so this is City of Bones by Cassandra Clare, and it is the first in The Mortal Instruments series.
It has been a while since I first discovered City of Bones, but it sparked an undying love that made TMI my all time favourite world to step into no matter how many times I read it! Let me say now that if you are reading this review to hear about bad points of City of Bones, the you will be disappointed. This is because I seriously can't find anything bad to say about this book, especially as I have read the rest of the series (which I may review as a whole some time in the future), and you soon see that even the annoying events in this book have a reason in the bigger picture.
'Clary Fray is seeing things: vampires in Brooklyn and werewolves in Manhattan. Irresistibly drawn towards a group of sexy demon hunters, Clary encounters the dark side of New York City - and the dangers of forbidden love.'
If your sitting there thinking 'oh great another YA book about vampires and werewolves' don't be fooled! Yes it is a book featuring the old tale of the feuding vampires and werewolves, but it is not the main focus of the book, and is told in a completely new way, with it aiding the story rather than being it. And don't worry, the vampires in this book, follow the traditional idea of vampirism, but enough of the vampires, lets get down to the Nephilim (shadowhunters or demon hunters). Nephilim are typically known for being the offspring of angels/ fallen angels and humans, but in this series they are a race made by an angel mixing his blood with a humans in a cup called 'The Mortal Cup'.
The story line to this book is definitely captivating, and draws you in with such loveable characters (especially Clace, Sizzy and Malec, to those in the know), and it will have you both laughing and crying, which only gets more intense the further through the series you get! This is a must read book and the majority of you will fall in love with it just as I have!
This book is also in the process of being turned into a movie that is anticipated to be a big hit, staring Lily Collins as Clary Fray and Jamie Campbell Bower as Jace Wayland, and is due to be released in August 2013. I will most definitely be the first inline to see it!
Below is a photo of five of the main characters!
Bye for now :)
