I know
this book is kinda old, but I recently bought the third instalment of The
Mortal Instruments, so I want to review the first two.
The
mortal instruments is a really popular series, it has a movie (a bad one) and a
Netflix series, I totally prefer the series.
City of bones tells us the story
of Clary Fray, She is a fifteen years old girl, and one night she goes to a
night club named “Pandemonium”, there she witnesses a murder committed by three
teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then
the body disappears into thin air. Clary
discovers the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons.
After this encounter with the Shadowhunters, Clary’s life becomes a mess when
her mother disappears and she is attacked by a demon, she ends up getting
involved with the Shadowhunters world because she is also a Shadowhunter. Clary
will discover a lot of secrets her mother hid from her while trying to rescue
her from Valentine, an evil Shadowhunter who wants to possess the Mortal Cup,
and he thinks Clary’s mother knows where it is. With the help of Jace Wayland,
and Isabelle and Alec Lightwood, Clary will learn the ways of a Shadowhunter
while trying to rescue her mom.
I have some trouble while
writing this review because I liked the book but there's something that I don't
like at all, and I'm not sure what it is.
