We met Clary Fray, teenager who loves to hang out with her best friend Simon, when she is confronted with murder. Two boys and one girl claim that they have killed a demon, they claim they are Shadowhunters. When Clary enters the world of demons, vampires, warewolfs, angels and other mythical creatures, she doesn't know anything about it. She was raised as a mundane, but Jace, one of the Shadowhunters, quickly realize Clary is one of them. Shortly after Clary meets Jace, Alec and Isabelle, her mother disappears. More exactly, she is kidnapped by one of the demons.
That sets Clary and her new friends on a mission. Mission that changes her completely.
Currently there are three books: City of Bones, City of Ashes, City of Glass. We are expecting City of Fallen Angels in 2011, City of Lost Souls in 2012 and City of Heavenly Fire in 2013. Also, this month we are expecting Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices, #1) a new series with similar background. I will write more about Clockwork Angel when I read it.
What I love about this series:
* Jace and Clary, of course - The fact revealed at the end of City of Bones doesn't stop you from wanting more and more about them.
* Sarcasm - Who doesn't love Jace's sarcastic comments? Hell, even Simon is funny sometimes.
* Shadowhunters - All fighting scenes, runes and magic behind that is just awesome.
* Seelie Court - The place when my favorite scene happens. The Fairies are just awesome and I love how smart and evil they are.
* Valentine - He is just the perfect villain. You can completely understand him and his actions, but you still see where, how and when he got wrong.
What I don't like about this series:
* I've read it too fast and couldn't put it down because it was just too damn good.
* The fact that I'll have to wait until 2011 to read more about Jace and Clary.
* The fact that my Shadowhunter Rune of Strength isn't as beautiful as it could be.
I loved City of Ashes and City of Glass more than City of Bones, but it's still one remarkably series so my rate is the highest.
5/5 Stars
I love this series and I'm glad you did too! Don't forget that Ms. Clare has a new prequel series coming up, with the first coming out soon. :-)
Yeah, I can't wait for Clockwork angel :) I read few sneak peaks and I already love it :)
