Overall I enjoyed reading the book Mortal Instruments: City of Bones , I thought it was a great book and I plan to read the remaining books in the series. I think the author does very well in evoking emotion in every scene from the reader and writes the book in such a way that a normal teenager can relate to with some of the situations, but can also go into this other fantasy world. The author is effective in causing the reader to feel as they are in the scenes with the detailed descriptions and although some of the language is new, for example words like shadow hunter, rune, steele, and clave; you are able to catch on to the language. I also think the major twist in the end of the book when Jace and Clary are told from Valentine that they are siblings is disheartening for the reader and brings in this awkward tone to the novel because they are in love with each other. However it also gives the reader some hope that it is not true because Valentine could be possibly lying for his own personal motives.
A quote from the last scene also stands out to me because Clary says how she sees the world now is different and Jace responds by saying the world isn't different that she is. I think this is a great conclusion to the book showing that this other world exists and that Clary discovers it and on the way of her journey her entire life changes.
