City of Bones

3/5 stars

Personally, I didn't like this book. I liked the concept, but I couldn't get through the actual book. I have been recommended this book multiple times, but that isn't enough motivation to finish this book. I was personally more invested in the side characters than the main characters. From what I read, Clary seemed to be the I'm-not-like-other-girls trope, which I can't really stand. I only read books with this trope when I am sure that the character has developed and changed. Maybe I would have liked it if I had read it when I was eleven, but at the moment I can't like it or get through the entire series.
