City of Bones Review

At about 2am this morning I finished my re-read of City of Bones and I realised again why it's easily one of my favourite books and why I love everything about it so much.
Not only is Jace one of the best characters to ever exist, the rest of the characters in this book are so amazingly, wonderfully written that even after one read you know them so well. Alec is probably my second favourite character in this series, I love his relationships with Jace and Isabelle, and I love the development of his relationship with Clary. He's just a really great character. Clary, Isabelle, Simon, and Luke, while I'm not exactly any of their biggest fan, I do still like reading about them, and I what I love so much about this book is how diverse their individual voices are. I love the conversations that happen between the characters, and how they all talk to, and react to, the different characters. 
Valentine...what can I say about Valentine? I don't think I've ever loved an hated a 'villain' quite as much as him. I loved, loved, loved his whole story in this book (btw it's so hard writing about one book in a series when you love them all so much...) and I hate him so much for everything he does with Jace and Clary.
Ooh speaking of Jace and Clary, their relationship is one of my favourites to read. I love when they first meet, and when they go to the Vampires, and Magnus Bane, and in the greenhouse, and it still makes me sad that Valentine kind of ruins all of that. One day you'll be together babies, don't worry <3 
Ugh I just love this book so much, and whole series, so much and I cannot wait for Wednesday when I finally get to see this world come to life!
