City of Bones - By: Cassandra Clare
What is the author's message?

The author's message is LOVE. In the book, mostly all of the characters are faced with the consequences of love. For example, Clary's mother, Jocelyn, who was once married to Valentine, broke up when she finds out that Valentine was only using the Mortal Cup for his own greed. When that happened, it caused chaos to the Shadowhunters. Clary was faced with the consequences when she fell in love with Jace. She later found out that he was her long lost brother. Simon was faced with this, too. He fell in love with Clary 10 years ago, when they were little children. But before he was able to confess to Clary, he found out that Clary liked someone else, which was Jace, and not him. When they fell in love with other people, they had consequences happen to them in return.
