Description
Don’t miss The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, now a major motion picture. Discover this first installment of the internationally best-selling Mortal Instruments series and “prepare to be hooked” (Entertainment Weekly).
When 15-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder - much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing - not even a smear of blood - to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?
This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It's also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know...
Exotic and gritty, exhilarating and utterly gripping, Cassandra Clare's ferociously entertaining fantasy takes readers on a wild ride that they will never want to end.

Good YA fantasy book
OK plot line- but I found the whole brother/ sister romance a bit odd… even if they turn out to not be siblings

Six of one, half-dozen of the other
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Yes, if you haven't listened to the original version of City of Bones, narrated by Ari Graynor. If you're like me and have the Ari Graynor version, don't bother. When I say "six of one, half-dozen of the other", I mean both versions are mediocre, as far as narration goes. The story is worth it though, so if you haven't read or listened to City of Bones, go for it! It's worth the credit. If you're just looking for a different version with better narration, don't waste your credit.
What did you like best about this story?
City of Bones opens a captivating young adult series, The Mortal Instruments. Cassandra Clare's Shadowhunter world is cleverly-built and the stories exciting. Keeping up with Clary as she learns about her heritage and discovers the world around her kept me hooked through all six books.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Mae Whitman?
Maybe? She wasn't terrible as a narrator, but her accents were. It would have been a much better listen without the questionable English accents.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Ugh...I wish I hadn't. The movie was terrible and it was one of the worst book-to-screen adaptations I've ever seen (but this isn't a movie review). I blame the movie for the bad English accents. The City of Bones movie decided that the Shadowhunters would have English accents and this is the result of that decision. In all of the other audiobooks (except for City of Heavenly Fire, which also came out after the movie), the Shadowhunters have American accents.
Any additional comments?
I wrote this review for listeners who have the Ari Graynor version of City of Bones and are wondering if this version is an improvement. It isn't.

Wish I hadn't listened to the audiobook
Any additional comments?
Didn't like the narration at all, most of the accents were super cheesy and didn't allow me to get into the book. I wish I had read the book instead of listening to it, because I'm sure I would have liked it more that way. The way it was narrated made me really annoyed with all of the characters. I only finished the novel for the sake of finishing it, I had no interest in how it ended.

Horrifyingly bad accents
What would have made City of Bones better?
Using a narrator that can actually do voices, OR telling Mae Whitman to stop doing them.
What didn’t you like about Mae Whitman’s performance?
Her accents sound like bad community theatre. Why re-record the book if you aren't going to make it amazing? This one is as bad as the original.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
I love this book but the audiobook is TERRIBLE.

Could be better
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
I couldn't finish this book. The writing is good for the young adult genre but the narrator is mediocre at best. I could have gotten past the horrible British accents but I couldn't stand her reading style in general. It's very...forced and immature. Emma Gavin and Marisa Calin are much better narrators. But perhaps it's the director's fault. Regardless, I would skip the audio and read the paperback.

Adults who loves fantasy, skip this book.
If you are new to the fantasy genre, this is a cute, fun world. The narrator needs to work on her accents/dialects but is otherwise fine. But if you are an Adult who loves fantasy, skip this book. You will find no new ideas or surprises here.

Terrible narrator
What disappointed you about City of Bones?
Honestly, it takes a lot for me to write a review, but this book is that bad. I had read other ones who said the accent was bad, and yea, it's not great. But for me what is worse is the narrator's choppy, "every sentence is a statement" style of reading. She reads everything fast, and as if it's dropping a bomb. Even sentences that have a follow up comma are read that way. I could get over the accents, but the choppy way of narrating everything as if it's a single stand alone statement is grating.
What didn’t you like about Mae Whitman’s performance?
See above.

Fake Accent Alert
OMG - this narrator reminded me of reading bedtime stories to my kids. I try to give every different character an oddly different way of speaking so they'll be amused. My kids are 8. This strategy might work for them but does not work for an avid listener trying to make his / her way through 10 hours of mangled mess.

This narrator... why?
It's not just pronunciation. It's like the narrator doesnt even read books. A-badd-in. Abbadon. Just... why? I literally almost quit half way. Because half the time I'm wondering what she's even talking about then I'm like ooohhhh, she's just bad at words.Just rough.

Love the series not the multiple narrators
Wish the same narrator was used on the books...hard to picture the characters when the voices keep changing.

Excellent premise, wonderful worldbuilding, garbage main characters.
I cannot express how mixed my feelings on this story are. It has some serious ups, and some staggeringly diarrhea inducing downs. The setting and world-building are truly fantastic. Though it doesn’t particularly do anything unique or original, it does put many aspects of modern fantasy together in a way that is truly interesting and fun to experience. So hold onto your toilet paper kids, we are about to spend ten hours on the toilet and things.....might get a little awkward.
I really enjoy the colorful side characters and the writers ability to develop settings had me immersed throughout the story. Small details put together in a way that really helps visualize each scene, and plenty of subtle suggestion lead me to see the underlying world this story is built on. As a writer I really appreciate these aspects of the experience. I always felt like I knew exactly where I was in the story, and yet the world building didn’t distract me from the character development.
Now for the bad. And holy shit the bad is REALLY bad.
The main character is, despite being very emotive throughout the story, so bland and uncharismatic that I simply could not at any point in the story either relate or really care about her situation. She was basically a wet plastic bag being dragged along to react to things and seem impressed by all the shiny neon haired non humans throughout the story.
Simon, Alex, and Iz are all interesting, multifaceted, complex characters that develop throughout the story, and I enjoyed their place in said story. I legitimately felt so strongly towards Simon, as I feel he is a character MANY guys can relate to both in experience and personality. Alex and Liz take a little longer to develop, but do so very well throughout the plot.
Jace however is an unbelievably unlikable edgelord. I’m sorry there is no way around this. He is a 10 year old boys fan fiction character and a 14 year old girls idea of a “dreamboat”. Half of all narrative dedicated to him is purely existent for the sole purpose of constantly describing how gorgeous and flawlessly super charming he is supposed to be, however he only ever comes off as a total douchebag who hurts people for no other reason than he can. There are even points in the story when Clari’s inner monologue states that she is aware of and sickened by his needlessly venomous attitude towards Simon.....and then immediately starts gushing about how fucking blonde he is and spends a page describing the color of his eyes.
To make things worse, the romance between Jace and Clari is the most contrived, shallow, and unremarkable piece of YA trash I’ve ever seen. The first half of the book is spent with the main character constantly going on about how much she absolutely loves and cannot love without her friend Simon, and how much of an insufferable shitbag Jace is. Then all of a sudden he makes some vague mentions of his troubled past and she falls for him like he’s the second coming of edgelord Jesus riding a guitar playing unicorn farting pure happiness and heroism.
As for the audio performance. It was par. Accents were awful. But it wasn’t enough to be off putting. I sat through it because I really enjoyed the story, even though I was wishing the entire time that I could trade the protagonists for literally anything else. FFS a moldy peanut butter sandwich and a bottle of Fanta would have made better main characters than Clari and Jace.
Overall. 3 out of 5. It’s a fun, colorful, and interesting romp through a well built world with some serious flaws. But I managed to sit through it all which is no small feat. And I appreciated the things it did right enough to write this review in the hopes that someone writes a fanfic about Jace sniffing unicorn farts while the rest of the cast goes off to do interesting things.

tolles Hörbuch, aber dann...
Was wäre für andere Hörer sonst noch hilfreich zu wissen, um das Hörbuch richtig einschätzen zu können?
Das Hörbuch fand ich toll. Ich werde nicht auf die Gesichte an sich eingehen, sondern nur auf alles rund um das Hörbuch selbst.
Mae Whitman hat ihre Sache echt gut gemacht! Jeder Charakter hat seine eigene Stimme und sogar unterschiedliche Akzente erhalten. Großartig!
Wer allerdings auch den 2. Teil auf Englisch hören möchte, der hat Pech gehabt. Gibt es nur auf Deutsch in der gekürzten Fassung. Wieso? Weil Audible.de die Rechte fehlen. Sehr enttäuschend.
Und dann beim 3. Teil geht es mit einer neuen Sprecherin weiter, die a) Dinge anders ausspricht, b) kaum unterschiede zwischen den Stimmen der Charaktere macht und c) die Akzente, die ich aus dem 1. Teil so toll fand, sind hier alle gleich.
Beim 4. Teil bin ich noch nicht angelangt, aber es ist wieder eine andere Sprecherin und ich nehme stark an, dass es bei Teil 5 und 6 ähnlich aussehen wird. Vielleicht sind die ja besser als bei Teil 3.

Als Kinderhörbuch gelesen
Die Sprecherin liest gut - wenn man gerne eine Unterweltstory als Kindermärchen hört. Leider entsteht dadurch keine Spannung und das ganze wirkt wie rosarote Sahnebonbons mit ner Spinne in der Mitte, weil grad Halloween ist. Und die sexy Stellen wirken wie der harmlose Kuss, den man im Kindergarten seinem "Verlobten" verschämt aufs Mundi schmatzte. Die Leser der übrigen Bücher sind allerdings deutlich besser für diese Materie geeignet, so dass Spannung und Erotik auch tatsächlich rüber kommen. Nur schade, dass das 2. Buch nicht auf Englisch erhältlich ist...

Great!
The speaker is very pleasant. I already know the book and have loved it since I first read it. As far as I've noticed, the complete version is also read aloud here, so a tip top from me!
