4.0 out of 5 stars Very good stand-alone novel,
By A Customer
This review is from: City of Bones (Mass Market Paperback)
This book wins my praise foremost for keeping the story all in one print, while most fantasy authors feel a need to stretch the action on for book after book. Also, the setting differs from the same run-of-the-mill stuff we see in one fantasy epic after another - melodrama, while present, is an exception rather than the rule. The characters are interesting and well-developed, the prose and plot both solid and the entirety of the novel believable. This isn't a great work, but well worth reading and superior to most fantasy literature.

5.0 out of 5 stars If literature were a desert, books would be like this., 10 Feb 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: City of Bones (Mass Market Paperback)
_City of Bones_ is about a hunt for ancient artifacts in an arid post-apocalyptic world; but reading the book made me forget that this is a well-worked theme. The book is hard-packed with a persuasive plot, complicated characters, and a remarkable depth of detailed originality. And it is cunningly executed: the lush upper levels of the city hang in rumour over the narrative, and the ghastly lower tiers murmur beneath it, creating a very effective atmosphere of craving and dread. If a holocaust ever comes upon the world of fantasy fiction, the books that survive will be like this.
