Book 2 Mortal Instruments: City of Ashes

Just completed Book One: City of Bones!!

The first one was so good I started on the next one right away. I am already into the second chapter. I will be reading tonight while I am at work trying to stay awake and sane.

I am looking forward to discovering what is in store for Clary, Jace, Simon, etc...

Finished City of Bones!

Well I have completed City of Bones. Overall I have to say that the book was fantastic and has made me excited to continue reading this series.

The first chapter really grabbed my attention but as with everything in my life it waned shortly there after. I have to say that my attention drifting had little to do with how the book flowed or was written or the story for that matter and all to do with the fact that not many things can hold my interest for long. This story was in my imagination though and I found myself wanting to read it. Day dreaming about what might happen next or what the characters look like or sounded like if I could hear them speaking.

During one of these little day dreams it occurred to me that it was not my attention to the book that faltered but my reluctance to sit still for more than 20 minutes and let the story take over. Once I did it really sank in. I ended up reading for 6 hours ( no lie, I was watching the clock ).

If you like witty digs and sarcasm in your stories you will think that this book if quite humorous most of the way through. Also I get the feeling after this first book that there is a epic love story in between all the action with magic, runes, vampires, werewolves, etc. I cant wait to dip into the next one....

City of Bones - Cassandra Clare

I recently decided to buy the 1st book of a Stephanie Meyer, Author of Twilight, suggested favorites. The book is titles City of Bones by Cassandra Clare. The first chapter really captured my interest and I have been trying to find time to sit down and really get into the book. I hope tonight might be that night. I started this book on May 18th. I have really enjoyed it so far the characters are interesting and the story is easy to follow.
