Nastaran's Book Report on 'The City of Bones' City of Bones is the first book of The Mortal Instruments series, set in modern New York, the series include City of Bones, followed by City of Ashes, City of Glass, City of Fallen Angels and City of Lost Souls. The sixth book, City of Heavenly Fire, will be released in May, 2014. The author Cassandra Clare writes urban fantasy novels for young adults. City of Bones is set in a present time. Clare was born as Judith Rumelt, to American parents, in Tehran (Iran), who soon changed her name to Cassandra Clare. Clare is known for her young adult fiction books, she is also popular for writing books such as; The Draco Trilogy based on Harry Potter, The Very Secret Diaries based on The Lord of the Rings, prequels to the Mortal Instruments series are called The Infernal Devices Trilogy , The Dark Artifices Trilogy, Magisterium Series (with Holly Black), and many short fictions to name a few; "Cold Hands", "Charming", "The Mirror House", "Other Boys", and "I Never". Also a movie based on City of Bones will be released by Sony Pictures this August 21st, 2013. City of Bones genres include young adult literature, notional fiction, supernatural drama, fantasy, mystery, and horror. The writing style of Cassandra Clare is precise and straight to the point while catching the most enjoyably the ironic and at times suspicious tone of teen banter. The strong sense of humour balances the unquestionably vivid horrors of the story, and she brings a sense of gothic horror and modern fantasy to her writing. In particular, the author is able to capture the colours and textures of Clary's world. The setting which takes place in New York gives a highly visual, almost filmic scene making City of Bones very enjoyable to read. The passage is written in third person perspective, almost entirely from the perspective of Clary, and tends to foreshadow. The author uses an informal tone with conveying emotions/feelings through her words.
