City of Bones

Whelp, that was a decent YA novel. I find Cassandra Clare's work very formulaic and predictable but at the same time books like these are my favorite guilty pleasure. What can I say, I'm a supernatural/fantasy fan at heart. It's certainly not Twilight levels of terrible at least. Anyway, my favorite part of City of Bones was the interactions between the characters. I especially liked the surrogate family of the institution. I liked how everyone kinda hated and loved each other at the same time. Magnus Bane was, obviously, my favorite character and Clary was an okay heroine if not a little generic. I'm still shocked by the plot twist towards the end, it was kinda a risky move for a Young Adult novel. I'm really curious to see who the main love interest will be in this series now? I look forward to seeing the movie and reading book 2. :)
