Enter the realm of Shadowhunters and uncover the hidden shadow world full of supposedly mythical creatures and beings infesting our society. As you dive into the riveting tale meet Clary Fray, a 15-year-old girl whose world is abruptly changed when she finds out her whole life has been laced with lies, carefully told by her mother.
In this unique novel City of Bones, by Cassandra Clare, the author takes readers on an unforgettably exciting journey full of plot twists as readers follow Clary on her path to self discovery. It is a magnificently written story that takes readers on an emotional roller coaster sure to make a lasting impression on readers.
The author first introduces Clary Fray, a girl who is content living a life filled with her passion for art and the company of her best friend Simon. However, this all changes one day when she finds three teenagers murdered a seemingly innocent boy in a club that her and Simon go to. The only thing is, Clary seems to be the only one that witnesses these murderous teens.
As it turns out, Clary as can see these demon killers because she is one of them. She is a Shadowhunter, and so is her mother whom the threat of the Shadow world, Valentine, has kidnapped. On a quest to save her mother, Clary forms friendships with the Shadowhunters Jace, Isabelle, and Alec, who are meant to protect the human world from the demons lurking unseen among civilization. Clary realizes she is more apart of this world full of magic then she thought.
Clare does a terrific job provoking strong emotions throughout the story. Readers will find their hearts racing and hands trembling as they turn page after page as fast as they can because of Clare’s colorful words that touch the one who reads them.
One can also tell that much thought was put into the book because the storyline is so complex with so many things leading readers to believe false facts, so that they will be surprised later on. It is a brilliant method of catching people off guard, so that the story is kept fresh and interesting.
Clare has a special talent of making her characters seem authentic because of their complexity. Each one has their own deep backstory that in time is uncovered.
Through the thrilling plot, complex characters, and Clare’s professional writing techniques that lure readers into the story, City of Bones is a remarkable tale for the action seekers and drama lovers alike.
