I really enjoyed this series as a whole and could not put them down. The age thing is different as mentioned and the author did explain that of the Shadowhunter's in one of the books. I have to say that Clary and Simon being at a club was something that their generation probably did. They most likely had to sneak in or use fake Ids which were not mentioned but I assumed. I know when I was younger that was the thing to do. I myself never did it for fear of being caught but it is believable.hpsecrets99 wrote:That bothered me a bit too, but then I read a bit from one of the other books in the series (don't remember which) where they talk about how Shadowhunters grow up and mature faster then mundanes because their life expectancy is a lot shorter than a regular human. Still not sure why Clary and Simon were at the club, but there you go.simplime wrote:I've read the first book of the series and I really liked it. My only problem was the age of the characters. They were young teenagers but lived the life of adults. ex: going clubbing. That made it a bit unbelievable for me. I do plan to continue reading the rest of the books.

The dynamic between Jace and Clary, Magnus and Alec, and Simon and Izzy were all so well developed as well.
It's hard to imagine that this series actually began as fanfiction - that really gives the rest of us hope.

I know where you're coming from with that aspect. I know several different movies I've watched before I read the book and even if I liked the movie, it was hard to get into the book because I'm used to how the movie plays through. The best thing for me to get out of that is just to wait a while before reading the book. Although, if I can help it, I do my best to avoid the movie until I've read the book.ashersb wrote:The movie ruined the book for me. I did not care for the movie "the mortal instruments ", but i heard good things about this book. I started reading the city of bones and could not get into it. After about 30 pages i gave up and didnt finish it. I kept seeing the movie inside my head.

Same here. When I started reading the series, there were only three books published. The third book had ended so well (for me) that I had actually thought the mortal instruments series was just a trilogy. It wasn't until later when they published other books that I realized I was wrong. I currently own the entire mortal instruments series and the Infernal Devices. They are on my "to read list".Bookaholic_Anonymous wrote:I love City of Bones!!! I read it way before it got really popular with the movie coming out and everything. However, I made it until the third book and then lost interest in finishing the series. I have the rest of the series sitting on my bookcase though for when ever I feel the need to actually finish it
