What’s the social structure like? How does magic work? What kinds of technology are there? What’s the geography? Who has the power? What’s possible? That takes a lot. You need to create an entirely new society. When you introduce a new world, there’s a lot of early legwork that goes in. But City of Bones specifically? It’s okay. I adore the Mortal Instruments as a whole. ![]() ![]() My go-to example of this phenomenon is City of Bones. That being said, there are a few issues.Ī lot of series start okay and get amazing by the end. It is immensely readable, and I am very eager to read the rest of the series. The characters, for the most part, are very compelling. I absolutely adored the graphic novel series that Pacat wrote alongside artist Johanna the Mad, and I’ve very much wanted to read more of her work, but have been a bit hesitant to do so because her other books-the Captive Prince series-are dark romance and that’s not really my scene. I was excited when I heard about this book. ![]()
