City of Bones

I loved and hated this book at the same time. I was drawn in really quickly and then things slowed down and then it got faster towards the end - which I hated if I'm being honest (the ending).

Clary is an easy to like character although I felt that she settled for things way too easily without a fight.

Jace was a pain in the arse all the way through, then he got likeable then he got annoying again. He was a bit of a douche.

I'll read the second book and hope that the characters develop a lot more. Especially the supporting characters Isabella and Alec. I thought they were both quite interesting but we don't really get to know them very well.
