The characters were original
How is the character?
I enjoyed City of Bones very much.  It was funny, witty, and just fun altogether.  I loved the characters' personalities more than anything.  The characters were original, but deep down just like every other teenager.  The  problems the characters got themselves into were creative and fun.The flaw was simply that this book is much like the other books that are currently being published.  Many of these books include vampires or werewolves or even witches.  This book contains all of the above.  While these are fun things to read about, this  book is not very original.  Sure it is exciting, but so are a lot of other books.In some areas however, the other is very original.  Such as the drawings that the shadow hunters tattoo on their body.Half of the time I felt as if I was reading Star Wars, the relationship between Clary and Valentine are similar to Luke and his father.Thus the book being like a lot of other books, I really liked it.
