Guide to The Shadowhunters Chronicles - 1:05 The Infernal Devices review - 8:06 The Mortal Instruments review - 14:40 Chain of Gold review - 34:45 The Dark Artifices review - 38:40 *NOTE: I'm aware there's more books in TSC (short stories + red scrolls) but I binge read all of these books and needed a break, but wanted to get this video out so I didn't include them. Plus everything that happens in those are alluded to/described briefly in these main books, so! Will definitely be reading them in the future though.

**me pretending i do not see the incest**: wow city of glass is phenomenal. there is nothing wrong with it. i see absolutely nothing wrong here :)

Infernal Devices made up probably 99% of my preteen-hood and this video gives me LIFE

the fact you sat down and reviewed all 13 books no one is doing it like you!!! I'm honestly so into shadowhunters content rn due to the tid show adaption news (which are yet to be confirmed sadly) and you dropped the video at the perfect time!!

"I need *someone* to go to jail for this" I want this on a shirt

I read these books and enjoyed them but then I made the mistake of watching a lot of book reviews about the series and most of them were really negative. THANK YOU for making this video and sharing your genuine reviews about these books bc it's literally like watching my own actual reaction when I read these books for the first time. Really gave me back the positive outlook on all these books. Sincerely, a new subscriber :)). Love you💗

Wow. you speak so well. The whole explanation of of these books was concise and thorough. I have been watching a lot of reviewers lately, (I am always looking for good books to read) and you are calm and have a good grasp of your subject. Awesome review.

i love this video so much, you really described everything perfectly. cant wait for more videos of you like this!

Absolutely loved this video! The way you talk about all of the books is so sophisticated and interesting! I just finished a reread of all the shadowhunters books and relate so much to all of your thoughts (especially chain of gold, the characters were absolutely AMAZING) 😁😁

THIS VIDEO WAS SO GOOD!! even though I saw your reactions real time bc we buddy read them together this video was so insightful on your thoughts afterwards!! thank you for advocating for LOVE TRIANGLE RIGHTS LOL!! I love your content as always!! ❤💕

I enjoy your videos so much! It’s clear you put so much effort into this!! I’ve never read the shadow hunters chronicles but I did hear about it this month and was thinking maybe I should read it but I did not know where to start

YES, FINALLY SOMETHING ABT THE CONCLUSION TO THE PARABATAI CURSE!!! Trying to finish qoaad was a struggle and I just never understood how neat and tidy they cleaned up the whole parabatai curse and how everyone just got over their centuries long stigma about romantic love between parabatai felt unrealistic and hard to believe. I remember reading CC's defense of it saying that it was bc Julian and Emma became god-like and angelic and the shadowhunters accepted it as sort of a divine thing???

I wish I had found your channel sooner! This is so well-thought out. I never had interest in the CassClare universe, but I am a decades long fantasy reader, and I am definitely going to watch some more of your videos!

I don’t even care about this series but I decided to give the video a chance and I loved it 😂 definitely glad this channel was recommended

I would want an updated video of this in the form of ranking in the future!.....I just love listening to you talk about shadoowhunters.

This is iconic and I’m taking notes for when I eventually read Clockwork Princess and make my TID review 💙

tmi is probably my fav in this series but even I have to agree with your critiques, I appreciate you voicing your issues without any hate also I agree completely about chain of gold ahhh! I am already obsessed!! I am not ready for how attached I am going to be by the time the series ends

I read the shadowhunter series in high school years ago but in GERMAN. I never read the original version so recently I decided to go for it and buy all the books in a set (never owned the copies bc school library) and I love rereading it. It lets you see everything in a completely different light. I know the plot already, I know who the characters really are and what they are capable off and watching Clary stumble through the first books is hilarious

You make me wanna read the book!!

Mariam.... holy CRAP! i adore you.. wow. I do think that upon REREADING i would really like to go TID, TMI, TDA then Chain of Gold! i have to agree that TID character development is one of my favorites but although i haven't finished TDA, i think that it's going to be my FAVE of the millions of books in the series lol and i cannot believe you fr said AVENGERS WHO WITH COHF and how you described QOAAD because you're like one of the first who doesnt screeech about how great it is luv this luv u but whats new

Ok, so now I’m reading shodowhunters instead of learning for my finals :x Great video, sent me right down the memory lane

Thank you for the video. I read the infernal devices and I look forward to read chain of gold. Someday I am going to read everything ahah

I didn't know that there were so many books, so I started with Lady midnight randomly. And I was so confused when they started talking about other characters and the great war or smth

"This video is going to be unnecessarily long" my favourite genre tbh

i love all these seraes

Fabulous video even tho I’m a few years late, I feel like I’m debating reading this series I just can’t get past the you know what uncomfortableness

Just found your channel! You're hilarious even though I haven't read any shadowhunters!

I want an arc about Rafael, Max, Tavvy, and that generation 👀

the mortal instruments is truly my guilty pleasure…

im starting with the mortal instruments im on the second book… erm im uncomfy✨ was the bro sis needed? was it? WAS IT?

I think I read TMI (w the Bane Chronicles in between, giving myself spoilers), then TDA, then TID, I finished Chain of Gold like a week ago and I've just started Tales of the Shadowhunter Academy. I didn't really pay attention to the order 🤷. Also I'm super excited for The Wicked Powers!

The Infernal Devices are the best books. I love the old story and the characters. I really liked Will. He is also sarcastic but very nice. He is my favorite Herondale. I thought that I would not like these books since it was a long time ago. But I love it. 💙🖤⚔️➰🥰

City of glass I love it in in 4th grade reading these should I be able to read I'm on book 5

The STAMINA you have to read all these books and then review them all,,,,,,,,,anyway I agree deeply with you on the stuff I've read (which is tmi, first two infernal devices, and lady of midnight) and I still can't believe we all let cassandra clare do that plotline HOW

thankyou❤️🙌

Your reviews might as well be mine, except for the QoAD, where I would rate it 4/5...maybe? The Thule dimension might play a more important part in The Wicked Powers(or so I think). But all of your reviews so much matched mine that it's eerie. Also, I would love to see your reviews on Chain of Iron, now that it's out. I think that you did the most systematic and level head reviews of The Shadowhunter Chronicles that I've ever seen.

Omg I read all 17 books in chronological order this past June. It was amazing and I have so regrets. I’m sad because I gotta wait for Chain of Iron. Shadowhunters is so fun and once you start reading you can’t stop until u finish the book. They make me so happy :D Omg I read all 17 books in chronological order this past June. It was amazing and I have so regrets. I’m sad because I gotta wait for Chain of Iron. Shadowhunters is so fun and once you start reading you can’t stop until u finish the book. They make me so happy :D Tear o meter Infernal Devices- 😭😭😭😭😭last 1/3 of CWP2 was pure tears. By the end I could produce anymore tears Mortal instruments- 😥no tears this time. I remember crying when Sebastian died when I read it in middleschool. It was because I was sad for Clary’s mom The Dark Artifices- 110% 😭😭😭😭tears for the BlackThorns. Lady midnight, I cried for Mark and the tragedy of the situation. Lord of Shadows, I cried throughout the book in random places because the BlackThorn tragedies that kept occurring made me upset. Then THE ENDING put me into a depression. Like I mourned in real life I put on white and sat in my room The Queen of Air and Darkness- for the first 1/5 of the book I was crying much harder than Clockwork princess but not as long. Chain of gold, 😭anytime Jem, Tessa, and Will interacted there were tears

Fantasy is my favourite genre when it comes to anything. I loved shadowhunters. Personally for me it was the best book series. I saw the reviews and they were negative but I didn't let that change my perception of the books. The borderline incest was I'll agree not nice to read but I tried looking at it from their perspective and it wasn't as bad. Doesn't make it any less disgusting. But the books always had this air of surrealness so other than the incest, it was pretty much amazing to me.

I like the breakdown! My friend and I started reading all of her books in 5th grade which is now 9 years ago. We both call each other alec and Izzy. Are the books good now? Probably not but it was a formative part of my childhood and gained me a life long best friend.

Curious if you'll read the 3 short story collections as well as the two books in the Eldest Curses Trilogy that have been released?

I personally realized i didnt like the mortal instruments series by halfway into the last book 😭 i got bored of it because the ending seemed to be easy to guess, so i asked my sister how it ended and i was right and it was SO disappointing. I dont remember a lot of it but i think it's because the lack of communication between the characters made up most of the conflicts. Its a common thing in teenaged audience books tbh. I do tease my older sister about the books but of course its totally fine that she likes them :)

brb, going on to goodreds to change all my ratings for tmi onwards

In the mortal instruments series is there a good amount of 💕Malec💕 to survive?????? I still love the other aspects of shadowhunters though.

Infernal Devices completely ruined me

I am on city of ashes, I started today and I am pg 100 butttt I still ship jace and clary :(

If you haven’t leaped into the Maasiverse I suggest getting into that now for the next set of maas reviews ;)

what's with the Bane Chronicles, tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, Ghosts of the Shadow Market and the Eldest Curses 🙃?

I tried to read city of Bones in 2022 as it was recommended to be an entry into the whole thing. I hate it with a passion because i dislike Clary as a character and since Jace character is not impactful, I don't like him either.... I don't care too much about the writing (after half a year of reading MTL novel, you care less about these things). But i do care if the characters are well developed. My question is Can I drop Mortal Instruments and still able to understand stuff later?

I love that there are no dislikes

Please please review all Anthologies....and red scrolls too....please...I could watch u talk about these all day!

The thing with Emma and Julian. So...Emma and Julian knew each other for a long time (hence having history) and even before she went to live with his family, Blackthorn. Then something happens to her parents and she starts to live with Julian and his siblings. So in a way, the Blackthorn family adopts her into the family and Emma views and thinks the Blackthorn siblings as her siblings throughout these years. Okay. But for some reason, she doesn't see nor view Julian as her adoptive brother? So technically yeah they're not brother and sister by blood, but the fact she was adopted into the family, grow up in the same household, and then they engage in a romantic relationship. Yeah...sorry, that just feels incesty to me. I say this cause honestly, if you were adopted into a family (even yeah you knew him before joining in the family), will you be willing to have a romantic relationship with your adoptive brother? No you wouldn't, it will be gross and you'll view him as your sibling either way. More so it's a very grey area to me between the Emma and Julian relationship. So this whole forbidden love thing Cassandra is trying to display, still feels incesty with those characters.

For me personally the infernal devices books weren’t horrible but I don’t like the TMI series for many reasons. 1 Incest ( I still don’t get why they trusted Valentine’s word on this. Like why didn’t they get a dna test done to be sure since it’s modern day New York?) 2 Clary is unrealistically good at fighting for a teenage girl who has never been drawn to it or had any experience 3 Sebastian and Jace are too similar. Only difference seems to be one is good and one is evil 4Way too many love triangles 5 The plot in the first three books are the same as the last three just switched around. (TMI part 1: Valentine wants to create a new race of angels with angel blood. TMI part 2: Jonathan wants to create a new race of demons with demon blood) 6 One of the themes seems to be anti racism but the shadow hunters themselves use the term mundane as a racial slur and seem to think they are better than them 7 Looks seemed to matter too much to the characters ( too much dialogue about each other’s looks) I loved these books as a kid, but now that I’m an adult I see a lot of flaws in them. Not attacking anyone. This is just my personal opinion about the TMI series.❤️❤️

honestly i read all of mortal instruments over the span of 7 years and the infernal devices (which also was my favourite) and then started the dark artifices last year and like man i feel like even if you read mortal instruments that story/series is so whack and confusing hahaha

i can't get through city of fallen angels pls send help

I don't know, why you didn't like "The Mortal Instruments" as much as "Infernal Devices"..........I personally loved "The Mortal Instruments" because of the badass villains in particular. None of the other Cassie's series has a great villain like "Valentine and Sebastian" , though I wish Cassie could've given Valentine a much better ending......

I love your channel but I have zero interest in this series as a whole. Still gonna watch this entire video though. 😂

i would kiss my brother too if my life depended on it...
