![]() The City of Bones written by Cassandra Clare, is the first book in the Mortal Instruments series. The story follows the main character Clary Fray in modern day New York City as she faces a new reality after discovering she is associated with Shadowhunters; a secret tribe of warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. In 24 hours, Clary's mother is kidnapped, she nearly escapes a demon, and ends up under the care of the Institute, a common ground for Shadowhunters. Determined to retrieve her mother, Clary explores her newfound abilities and braves her way through a new world with a whirlwind of emotions. I discovered this book through my sister, who has thoroughly enjoyed the whole series. I thought the book was entertaining, but it was not my favorite. I prefer reading more realistic novels than fantasy. Nonetheless, it contained much action and suspense. I have heard there is a movie about the first novel, so I am excited to watch it and relate the events to the book. -GH, grade 10
