Hey guys! I’m back with another book review for you guys. By
the title I think you know what book I’m going to be reviewing.
City of Bones by Cassandra Clare is the first instalment of
The Mortal Instruments series. It’s the second book I read from my TBR and I’m
quite proud I finished this book because it’s been a long time since I’ve read
a book this long (its 506 pages for those of you guys are wondering). It’s
actually nice to read this book when I didn’t have access to the internet since
there was no distractions and I could just focus on the book. I’ll just be
honest and say that I watched the movie before reading this book (obviously)
and because of that, I actually know what is going to happen and what to
expect. At first I thought the movie was really good but now that I’ve read the
book, I can understand why some people thought that the movie could be better.
There are scenes from the book that I would love to see in the movie but thank
god there is the series. Hopefully they don’t cut the scenes that I want to see
come to live. Thanks to the movie, when reading this book, I pictured the
actors from the movie portraying the characters in the book (I don’t know if
that’s a good or bad thing).
The book itself is fantastic. It was a drastic genre change
from my previous read but it feels nice to be reading a fantasy book. Reading
fantasy books makes me feels right at home since my favourite book genre is
definitely fantasy books (I grew up reading tons of them). This book is a more
of a mature read in my opinion since there are many sarcastic remarks that I
feel not many people under the age of 13 would understand. I love it, all the
sarcastic remarks and banter that Jace and Clary exchange. It’s a nice change
from what I’m used to reading.
I would say that I have high hopes for this book since there
are a lot of good reviews online and I am not disappointed. It meets my
expectation and maybe even exceeded it. I’m giving this book a 5/5 rating. My
next goal now is to save up enough money to buy the second book. Hopefully that
would be soon, even though the cliff hanger at the ending is subtle, I WANT
MORE.
