Great
This book is was really good! The characters were cool.
Eh, still good
I really liked the prequel and this book was good, just not as good which was sad
I liked it
I liked this book. I didn't think it was boring, and the characters were likable. It was a little predictable, though.
Awesome
I really enjoyed this book and the whole series! however I am a little dissapointed in clockwork angels, prequels are never good.
Not bad
I picked this book up because I wanted something different. Well, I got a melting pot of wizards, vampires, werewolves, and manga. Yeah, manga. Anyways, it feels like a teen novel because of the seeming "hot" guys and the romance and all. I moved through it pretty quick. It's funny, but I don't get a full view of the characters. I don't feel them like a really, really good book. It's fun to read however, and I don't encourage you to move past it. Try it.
Not as good as the prequel
The book moved really well, and I was really interested in it, up until I realized exactly what the ending would be. Then I groaned, and continued reading.
I'm glad I read Clockwork Angel first. It's much better. The characters in City of Bones are a little more boring; it seems that Clare really only writes men as flamboyant or witty, badass jerks; at least in Clockwork Angel, that broadens to include other types.
I found the ending to be something of a let-down. I understood it, and I realized before I read it what it would be, but it was just...blah. Still, up until then, I really liked it.
