Product description

From School Library Journal

Grade 8 Up–When Clary Fray witnesses three tattoo-covered teenagers murder another teen, she is unable to prove the crime because the victim disappears right in front of her eyes, and no one else can see the killers. She learns that the teens are Shadowhunters (humans who hunt and kill demons), and Clary, a mundie (i.e., mundane human), should not be able to see them either. Shortly after this discovery, her mother, Jocelyn, an erstwhile Shadowhunter, is kidnapped. Jocelyn is the only person who knows the whereabouts of The Mortal Cup, a dangerous magical item that turns humans into Shadowhunters. Clary must find the cup and keep it from a renegade sector of Shadowhunters bent on eliminating all nonhumans, including benevolent werewolves and friendly vampires. Amid motorcycles powered by demon energies, a telepathic brotherhood of archivists, and other moments of great urban fantasy, the story gets sidetracked by cutesy touches, like the toasted bat sandwich on the menu of an otherworldly restaurant. The characters are sporadically characterized and tend toward behavior that is both predictable and slightly repellent–Clary finds out who her real father is about 200 pages after readers will have it figured out. Despite the narrative flaws, this version of New York, full of Buffyesque teens who are trying to save the world, is entertaining and will have fantasy readers anxiously awaiting the next book in the series.–Heather M. Campbell, Philip S. Miller Library, Castle Rock, CO

Review

"Funny, dark, and sexy. One of my favorite books." -- Holly Black

"City of Bones has everything: vampires, werewolves, faeries, true love, and stuff that blows up. What's more, Clare's characters are brilliant -- she better not kill any of them off in the next two volumes!" -- Justine Larbalestier, author of Magic or Madness

Books great! Covers in good shape too just not pictured. Only complaint is my copy has a handful of ink streaked pages near the end, but otherwise everything’s perfect.

I love it. I had to get myself my own copy of City of Bones 10th Anniversary edition. It came so fast, I wasn’t expecting it! I love that it came in a perfect condition. I love the way it looks. I love the illustrations inside. This is perfect for TMI/TSC readers! <3

If anyone is looking at this review wondering whether they should order from this company, I'd recommend against it. Ordered the collectors edition of City of Bones and it unfortunately was damaged on arrival, being a collectors edition I wanted this book on show and I spent a lot of money on this edition, when I reached out to them to ask for an exchange or refund on return of the product, they said no and offered a meagre 5% refund not including postage which amounted to £2.50 which didn't even cover the £5.50 I paid to have the item delivered. After a back and forth of emails they continue to acknowledge any fault, even though it was either damaged before sent or damaged in transit due to the insufficient packaging used. Either way, its been a nightmare for me and have lost out on over £30 to be offered £2.50 refund for a defective product. So, in conclusion order at your own risk - if if arrives impaired in any way due to no fault of yours, good look getting a replacement or refund.
