Update From The Realm: City Of Bones Group Recapping

Howdy-do, everyone! This is just a reminder that with Marked done, the group recapping for City of Bones is next in line.

If you need a reminder of who is recapping what, the list can be found here.

Remember, e-mail me the recaps and send me a PM when you do so. My e-mail address is zeldaqueen64@gmail.com. There's no hurry if you've got stuff going on, just remember that we can't start until I've got the recaps, that's all.

Also remember, if you still need a copy of City of Bones, PM me.

Aside from that, have fun! Get pumped and let's rip it a new one!

I think the worst part is that I've gotten all of this from...one and 3/4 chapters (chapter 13 and 14). I haven't even bothered reading from the beginning because there is nothing that captures my curiosity...at chapter 14. I heard my chapters are suppose to be suspenseful and all the jazz and I'm just laughing at the thought...because they aren't.

I think Clary suffers from the 'Too stupid to live' trope. I have made so many revelations long before she did I deserve a cake (and to be inducted into the Shadowhunters, even though I'm a 'mundane'. Anyone else hate that word?)

Mundane is a word I despise from this lump of text. And it's not just Clary who falls under 'Too stupid to live'; there's and absolute gem at the beginning of chapter 19 where all of them fall under this category.

"Mundane is a word I despise from this lump of text."

Small wonder Meyer loves this series, hmm? An asshole male lead, an idiotic female protagonist who's clearly a self-insert, and regular people are treated with complete and utter disdain.

I was stupid enough to read through it from the start. I stopped reading after chapter 17, because I just couldn't take it anymore. My chapter was just "romance mush" and nothing that really moves the plot forward.

Yes, I hate 'mundane' the way it's used in this story with a passion now.
