City of Bones

I read this out of a fear of FOMO: the series hit its zenith past my YA prime, but the premise had me interested, especially considering Cassandra Clare has apparently developed her writing over time with her later Shadowhunter books. The start of this one was fun, but Jace is unbearable. What an edgelord - I have no idea what made people think this sort of attitude was ever attractive. I also knew about the “incest” part and still got whiplash. What a weird “twist.” Still, I've heard this is one of the weaker entries for Clare and that the series/universe gets better so I will likely continue in spite of the low rating.
