I enjoyed Locke Lamora and read all the other stuff (except the Marillier book, since I've only been able to find the 3rd installment of that trilogy in the stores so far) but I make a point of trying to follow YA lit a bit for both hobby and work related reasons..and that's why I read City of Bones.

Meyers is actually a somewhat better writer than Cassandra Clare stylistically, but I realize by saying that, that all the Cassandra Clare fangirl-sycophant-hordes are going to threaten me with murder for writing that.
