Dear Diary,
I'm still buzzing from finishing City of Bones on audiobook. Honestly, I wasn't expecting to be this hooked-especially after scrolling past it a dozen times. But the moment Clary walked into that neon-lit club, the narrator's voice (it's just perfect, sharp and a little sassy) made me feel like I was right there, heart pounding as the world went sideways. Witnessing a murder? And the killers vanishing? I nearly dropped my phone.
What stunned me most was Jace. Not just his looks-though, yeah, "an angel with a smirk" isn't an exaggeration-but how the narrator made him feel real. That dry, impatient edge? The way he'd say "Clary" like it was a challenge? I swear I could hear the smirk in the audio. It's not just a love interest; it's a person, and the voice acting made him breathe.
The pacing? Unreal. One minute Clary's dodging her mom's weird texts, the next she's staring down a demon in her own kitchen. The audiobook's pacing mirrors that panic-short, punchy sentences, sudden silences where the narrator lets the horror sink in. I kept hitting "repeat" on the club scene because the sound design (the thump of bass, the whisper of a blade) felt alive.
And the mystery? Oh, the mystery. Why her? Why now? The narrator never rushes the questions-she lets them linger, making me lean into my headphones, whispering "Wait, what?" to the empty room. That moment when Clary finally sees the Shadowhunters? The way the narrator's voice drops, just a fraction, like she's sharing a secret? Chills.
I've read so many fantasy starts that feel like they're trying too hard. This? It's effortless. The narrator's warmth makes the whole world feel intimate, like she's telling me the story after midnight. You don't just hear Clary's journey-you feel her confusion, her fear, the way her hands shake when she realizes her mom's gone.
I finished it at 2 a.m. and just sat there, replaying Jace's "You're not a girl" line. Because yeah-that's the magic. It's not just a book; it's a world that holds you. The audiobook? It's the perfect way to step into it. No over-explaining, no slow burns. Just Clary, the shadows, and a voice that makes you forget you're listening to a book.
If you've been on the fence about this one? Listen. And maybe keep the lights on. You'll be glad you did.
P.S. That "Sight" twist? Still thinking about it.
-Your exhausted but happy reader
