In the wake of Stephanie Meyers, the term 'young adult' feels less appropriate than that other library identifier 'Juvenile.' Into the gap left by Twilight and Harry Potter steps Mortal Instruments, a dark adventure that follows the usually awkward heroine who wakes up to a world she never knew existed, and on her way to do battle with evil gets stuck between two boys who fancy her. It's safe to say that the ghetto of young adult fantasy films has grown with alarming speed, and for every Hunger Games there's a whole batch of duds like Beautiful Creatures, The Dark is Rising or Eragon. When not learning of her own significant powersit involves drawing and runes!≌lary finds time to vacillate between lovable, doting Simon and glowering, hot-to-trot Jace. It comes to light that evil, dread-locked adversary Valentine might be responsible for the mom-napping and that he's out for the Mortal Cupyou guessed it, one of a set of 'instruments'that would allow him to make his own army of gloomy half-angels. To help Clary in her search for an abducted mother, Jace takes her to 'The Institute', a second-hand Hogwarts that prepares Shadowhunters for their roles as protectors of Mundanes (us boring human folk). Before you can shout "female Constantine", she's in the path of darkly handsome heart-throb Angeler, Jacewho's part of a society of celestially sired humans called Shadowhunters. In the film, Clare's hero Clary Fray wakes up one day to learn she has a second sight that can reveal demons, vampires and werewolves.

Since author Cassandra Clare obviously believes her YA fantasy saga important enough to receive two titles, I feel sufficiently encouraged in this direction. This phenomenon, applied to almost anything that's become old-hat in popular culture, may explain why I'm offering up dual reviews for The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones. The very reason one may be affected by something may be the same reason someone else fails to connect, rejecting what they see as a slavish imitation of what's come before.
