HatsForMice: Girl pulled into a fantasy world only to discover she's a part of it. Stephanie/Valkyrie is a stronger character than Clary, too.
Obviously this is for a slightly younger readership, so if you're in it for the romance, you won't find it here until the 4th book.… (plus d'informations)
This series has been on my TBR for years and I'm glad I finally got a chance to read it. I got the 10th anniversary edition with some pretty damn good illustrations. I found myself enjoying the series, laughing at all the particular teenage antics that I've since mostly grown out of and wanting to find out what happens next. As an adult reader this was a good YA novel. ( )
not impressed... perhaps it was because I was listening and not reading.. but I found it to be poorly written... unfortunate because its so popular... ( )
Clary Fray, 15 anos, decide passar a noite em uma boate em Nova York. O maior de seus problemas provavelmente seria lidar com o truculento segurança da porta, certo? Errado. Clary testemunha um crime, e não um crime qualquer: um assassinato cometido por três adolescentes cobertos por enigmáticas tatuagens, brandindo armas esquisitas. Para completar, o corpo da vítima desaparece no ar.
Clary quer ligar para a polícia; quer gritar; quer chamar seu amigo, Simon, que ficou na boate enquanto ela teve a infeliz ideia de perseguir o menino bonitinho de cabelo azul... Mas como explicar a eles que ninguém mais na rua enxerga os assassinos, apenas ela? Como provar que houve um crime se não há rastro algum do sangue do garoto morto - aliás, era mesmo um menino?
Mas ela nem tem tempo de tomar uma decisão; logo os assassinos se apresentam para a estranha mundana que não deveria vê-los, mas vê. Jace, Alec e Isabelle são Caçadores de Sombras, guerreiros cuja missão é proteger o mundo que conhecemos de demônios e outras criaturas. Vampiros que saem da linha, lobisomens descontrolados, monstros cheios de veneno? É por aí mesmo. E depois desse primeiro contato com o Mundo de Sombras, e com Jace - um Caçador que tem a aparência de um anjo, mas a língua tão afiada quanto Lúcifer -, a vida de Clary nunca mais será a mesma. Mesmo.
Sombrio, engraçado e sexy, Cidade dos Ossos é o primeiro volume da série Os Instrumentos Mortais , de Cassandra Clare, que virou um verdadeiro fenômeno mundial e vendeu mais de 50 milhões de exemplares.
Meh. Lotsa tropes. LOTSA similes and waxing poetic language amid a super modern, teenage slang-filled world? The author is clearly another character in this story who is never addressed.
Didn’t rage quit though, so it gets an additional star. ( )

I have not slept.
Between the acting of a dreadful thing
And the first motion, all the interim is
Like a phantasm, or a hideous dream:
The genius and the mortal instruments
Are then in council; and the state of man,
Like to a little kingdom, suffers then
The nature of an insurrection.
- William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar
I sung of Chaos and Eternal Night,
Taught by the heav'nly Muse to venture down
The dark decent, and up to reascend. . .
- John Milton, Paradise Lost
Facilis descensus Averni:
Noctes antque dies patet atri ianua Ditis.
Sed grandium revocare superasque evadere ad auras;
Hoc opus, hic labor, est.
- Virgil, The Aeneid
The descent beckons
as the ascent beckoned.
- William Carlos Williams, The Descent

"Sarcasm is the last refuge of the imaginatively bankrupt," she told him. "I can't help it. I use my rapier wit to hide my inner pain." "Your pain will be outer soon if you don't get out of traffic. Are you trying to get run over by a cab?" "Don't be ridiculous," he said. "We could never get a cab that easily in this neighborhood."
"Is this the part where you start tearing off strips of your shirt to bind my wounds?" "If you wanted me to rip my clothes off, you should have just asked."
"If you were half as funny as you think you are, you'd be twice as funny as you are now."
"Jesus!" Luke exclaimed. "Actually, it's just me," said Simon. "Although I've been told the resemblance is startling."
"Unfortunately", said Hodge, "we're all out of bitter revenge at the moment, so it's either tea or nothing."

Her stomach dropped out from under her as the silver river spun away and the spires of the bridge slid under her feet, but this time Clary kept her eyes open, so that she could see it all.
