Ruth Bookclub City of Bones, The Descent is Easy 0 Comments

We finish our first round of the tDiE Bookclub reading the third part of City of Bones and find ourselves in the rather unhappy position of agreeing with all of the villain, for almost all of the end of the book. Huh. That was unexpected!

Next week we will be discussing The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones, the film and the week after that we finally have our adaptations chat. If you have anything to throw into that conversation, please message us now! We’d love to hear from you.
