Eragon and City of Bones

   I just finished reading Eragon by Christopher Paolini. The book ended in a big battle where Eragon killed a creature called a Shadow. When he killed the Shadow, all of the Urgal creatures started to fight agaisnt each other instead of Eragon and the rest of the people in the town. The book ends with a happy victory and everyone gets back to fixing up the town after the destruction.

   Now I have started a new book called The City of Bones by Cassandra Clare. Cassandra won the Locus award for best first novel in 2007.
   In The City of Bones, there is a girl named Clary who is with her friend Simon at a punk club. While they are dancing, Clary sees a boy with blue hair and thinks he is cute. She watches as he follows a girl into a closet area and notices that two people are following him. She decides to see what is going on and when she gets into the closet area she finds him tied to a post. There are also three other people in the room. Two of them were the guys who were following the blue haired boy and the other was the girl that the boy was following. She was horrified to find that they were going to kill the blue haired boy and tried to stop them. This resulted in the boy getting out of his bindings and attacking one of the guys who's name she later finds out is Alec. Alec stabs the boy in the chest and he dies in a swirl of black smoke. When Simon comes in with a bodyguard from outside the cub she realises she is the only one who can see those people. This scares her and when she goes home she sees a demon that attacks her and she passes out.
   Clary later wakes up in a hospital type bed but she's not in a hospital. It turns out that the three people she had met before had taken her and helped her get better. I ended at a part where she returns home to see how it looks and finds that it has been stripped clean of everything inside.
