When her mother is kidnapped, she teams up with demon hunters known as Shadowhunters to get her back. The plot remains the same: young Clary Fray discovers that she is half-angel and half-human. The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones was everything I expected. (I didn’t even know I liked adorable princesses drunk with power that much!)

First, I’m awfully fond of Lily Collins, ever since Jodie and I realized that her absolutely precious Snow White forces someone to commit suicide at the end of Mirror Mirror as soon as she has any real power. It’s pretty long- this is a shorter summary of everything.) To that, I can only say, “ What a piece of work is man!”Īnyway, despite my total disinterest in the series, the first book of which I read four years ago, I somehow found myself really looking forward to the film adaptation. (The linked report was published a year before The Mortal Instruments: The City of Bones was released. (I don’t know how adult supernatural fiction shakes out on this point.)Īnd yet, this is still the same woman who plagiarized a great deal for her famous Harry Potter fanfic, The Draco Trilogy. (Last month? Man, that’s like twelve mnths in nerd years.) Specifically, her commitment to passing the Bechdel Test in her novels and the film (which doesn’t necessarily make a text feminist, but trying is always better than not trying!) and being very aware of how the usual supernatural fiction fare for teen readers feature male Chosen Ones, not female Chosen Ones. I’ve been feeling more kindly to her as of late, due to some of her comments at the Mortal Instruments panel at Comic-Con last month.
