©The Strawberry Postĭespite my praise for this book though, I did find it hard to get into at the beginning. Of course it also sets up the bigger story of the series and I’m excited to get started on reading the rest of the books. I won’t reveal the ending but it does have a satisfying end for the events that happen. In fact the author explains all of this in a Forward, at the start of the book which was interesting to read. The story has a good feel to it and I enjoyed how the author incorporated lots of different myths and creatures that are well-known from folklore, into this one book. I really enjoyed how the whole story slowly unfolds revealing lots of twists, especially in the later half of the book with the scenes at the end being the most exciting and interesting.

Clary soon discovers that secrets have been kept hidden from her and the strange world she is now a part of is more complicated than she first thought. I haven’t read any of the books until now and this first one is very good! Clary’s character is easy to relate to as a normal teenager and I enjoyed getting to know the other characters and how they all interacted. It’s up to Clary to find out what has happened to her mother and what this new world of demons and magic really is.

There’s more to the people than she first thinks and soon Clary is thrown into a world where demons exist and her mother has disappeared after an attack. Clary Fray is an ordinary teenage girl who goes to a club with her friend Simon, but while there she spots some suspicious looking people and follows them into the back of the club. Review: This is a brilliant start to what I hope is a good series and this tenth anniversary special book is packed with lots of additional features. *Free copy provided by publisher for review…
