City of Bones

2023 reread:the notalgia of it all

2018 reread:
The first time I gave this 3 stars. I don't know why I did that because the second time around, I loved this so much. I know this definitely has some faults like the writing isn't the best but it is pretty good. I give this a 4.5 stars but this book is so nostalgic for me. The characters are the world to me and I forgot so many things that happen but it felt so familiar at the same time. I don't think I could ever love a series as much as I love the Shadowhunter Chronicles. The Hunger Games got me into reading but I was just bored so after that, I picked up Divergent. I got addicted to it and I wanted more so I picked up the Mortal Instruments. My love for Divergent and the Hunger Games has dwindled over the 4 years since I read them. I will always love what they did for me but I don't love them anymore. But this series. I love it still and I will love it forever. On my deathbed I will reread all of Cassandra Clare's books and be so happy that it was the last thing I read.
