City of Bones creates a different sort of world entirely, introducing all kinds of creatures and hunters giving the reader another world of possibility from the author.

Aside from some of the well worn cliches it was realy good.
Likable charakters, interesting concept nicely brought to life.
The story is a little confusing in same parts but in this book it somehow adds to its charm.
For me it was worth the read and i will continue to the next book in the series.
