At the end of book one, there is a twist that happens, which is seriously awful. Again, I can happily spoil it for you if you haven't heard it. But it was just so awful that I pushed through for book two because I was waiting for them to say, "No, that's not true.
City of bones (1995)
“Khat, a member of a humanoid race created by the Ancients to survive in the Waste, and Sagai, his human partner, are relic dealers working on the edge of society, trying to stay one step ahead of the Trade Inspectors and to support Sagai’s family. Khan soon discovers that the deadly trade politics of Charisat’s upper tiers aren’t the only danger. The relics the Warders want are the key to an Ancient magic of unknown power, and, as all the inhabitants of Charisat know, no one understands the Ancients’ magic.” - from MarthaWells.com.
I think I read I rated book one four stars, book two 3.75ish four stars.
I did used to like City of Bones when I was in high school and stuff and now like you couldn't no thank you
I technically read the first Shadow Hunters book in high school I don't remember it I just remember it has that Trope of like are you my sibling or are you my boyfriend and I don't like that Trope so I didn't love that book and I didn't continue on with Shadow Hunters
I like this one I just wish that it had pushed a little bit more in terms of boundaries and kind of explored more of the Ancients done a lot I don't know it could have done a little bit more than it was doing
Now I read this back in like the mid 90s you know in Mass Market paperback and it's I don't have that great A Memory of it although I do remember enjoying it but this will basically be a completely fresh reread for me
see the thing is i was really enjoying this book i thought it was fast-paced it was fun it reminded me a lot of the stuff that i was reading in middle school
the city of bones was one of my favorite books in middle school would recommend
City of Bones is definitely going at to my nostalgia fav tier
Jace Wayland from City of Bones so those are some characters that like was so sassy and sarcastic and just like had so much swagger that literally I would die for all of them
