City of Bones Synopsis and Quick Review
Sanjana Nath
This week I began to read the novel City of Bones by Cassandra Clare. I'm not very far into the book just yet, as I have only just started it. So far, I have read five chapters, and they were all extremely well-written, and left me wanting to read more. I didn't want to put the book down, and the story only just began.
The main character is a young teenager named Clary Fray, and she and her best friend Simon, decide to go to an all-ages club called Pandemonium one night. While at Pandemonium, Clary saw a group of teenagers who seemed extremely odd. She saw one of them holding a knife, following a young boy into a storage closet. Feeling worried, she followed them and spied on the group of teens and stood hiding behind a shelf, watching as one of the boys spoke strangely, then killed the other boy. The group of teens discovered Clary spying and started to explain that what they killed was a shapeshifter, not an actual human being. This was the beginning of Clary's life spiraling out of control. She figures out that nobody else is able to see the teenagers except for her, they're practically invisible. A few days later, Clary's mother goes missing and Clary is sent to a place called The Institution by one of the teenagers from Pandemonium; Jace.
So far the book has been gripping and I have only wanted to read more. I hope to be able to read more, and I only expect the book to get better from here. I wonder what is going to happen in the book, and I'm looking forward to finding out! So far the book is very enjoyable, however I do have a lot of unanswered questions. However, I haven't read too much just yet so I expect a lot of my questions to get answer somewhere later on in the book. I think it will be a great read and so far I am recommending it :)
This book sounds very interesting! I cannot believe that Clary is the only one that can see the teenagers, and I wonder what had happened to Clary's mother? This books sounds like one of those stories that just grabs you and you have to keep reading to find out what happens in the end! I don't know I maybe will start reading this book!:)
ReplyDeleteIt was very interesting, Rachel! I would recommend reading it, it's an amazing novel. I plan on picking up the next one in the series as soon as possible :) You should read it and find out what happens to Clary's mother; I'm still figuring it out too! That's correct, it was so hard to put down the book, it was really good :)
