4.0 out of 5 stars Very good stand-alone novel, 28 Mar 1999
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Golf Clap! A decent, but unremarkable, first effort, 3 Sep 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: City of Bones (Mass Market Paperback)
By-the-numbers, but there's enough flashes of unpolished originality to keep things intriguing. Wells has a nice hand for original settings that aren't all over the current sf/fantasy offerings, but the characterization and plotting just make it to 'ok.' Worth reading if you're out of new stuff, and she's showing definite artistic growth (see Death of the Necromancer). Get it cheap if you can, but get it.

5.0 out of 5 stars If literature were a desert, books would be like this.
_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. Read more
