Even though I have read all the Shadowhunter books, I'm still gonna watch the entire video just cause you posted it.
you are the sweetest!
Srishti Saxena same 😂
Sameeeeee
Exactly
Yup
I read the majority of the books as they came out so I kinda had to read them in publication order lolll. But I've found that with every reread, it's more enjoyable for me to separate them by series starting with TMI, then TID, and TDA. This is such a great video idea!! 💕 It's definitely a confusing topic that needs a lot of explanation, especially as more books come out 😄
heyy Hannah you're my fav booktuber. Glad to find you here!!! love you
this literally saved my life, SOMEONE FINALLY EXPLAINED IT THANK YOUU
Jess Best same
True af!
Mine too!
Publication order:
City of Bones
City of Ashes
City of Glass
Clockwork Angel
City of Fallen Angels
Clockwork Prince
City of lost souls
Clockwork Princess
The Bane Chronicles
Tales from the shadow hunters academy
Lady Midnight
Lord Of Shadows
Katie George ummm you forgot city of heavenly fire between bane chronicles and tales from the shadowhunter academy
Thank you ! 👏🏿
Helpful! And did you know the third book of The Dark Artifices (or however you spell it) is out?
(-Queen of Darkness)
xGachaYandere queen of air and darkness
Already read the Shadowhunter chronicles but who could pass up 10 minutes of Emma? 😂❤️
you're the sweetest!!!
LightwoodReads same
me too
Sameeeeee
No one.
Can you do a video on shadowhunter family tree? Like how the characters in each book are related and so on....
You're amazing Emma! You're the reason so started reading Shadowerhunters!
I read all of TMI before TID and figured out the silent brother plot line right away when I started clockwork angel. I regret so much I wish this video was out when I started.
ahah oh no i'm so sorry you figured it out so early! i hope it was enjoyable either way
samee
RP Girl So did i!! I was just like wait.... wait no.. that's.... OMG I WAS SPOILED! lol
sameeee
SAME OML. city of Heavenly Fire spoiled EVERYTHING about The infernal Devices. and now Ive last all interest in TID
Emma just casually slipping in the fact that, oh you know, she totes random, super casual interviewed Cassandra Clare last year, ya know, just everyday stuff, super chill, link in the description...
LMAO I FELT IT WAS PARTICULARLY RELEVANT REGARDING THIS QUESTION OK
Thank you for making this!!! Now I'm just gonna link this video to anyone that asks me about it! ❤️🙏🏻
ahahh you're the best XD cannot wait to meet you at bookcon!
Irish Reader you two need to collab please!
Well after this video i think its time i entered the shadowhunter world. Here's hoping that i like it!
just wondering, how did it go?
Same here! Gonna read City of Bones ASAP
I hope you enjoy it! I loved them when I read them.
How did it go
"I like it"
hehehehehe, *you are mistaken*
"I WILL LOVE IT UNTIL I DIE, AND IF THERE'S ANYTHING AFTER, ILL LOVE IT THEN" (Mortal Instruments fans will understand what I have secretly said in there, if that makes sense) fits
.......
Okay, have a lovely day 👋
I read them in this order:
All TMI books
All TID books
Bane Chronicles
Lady Midnight
Shadowhunter Academy
And I have re read them, but not in order xD bc I'm weird xD whenever I feel like I want to read about this beautiful world I just pick a random book and read it
JAJAJAJAJAAJAJAJ But I think the best way is read Shadowhunter Academy first and then Bane Chronicles, because there is a spoiler with a main character, you know that.
Ferny Carrasco same! i read them in the same exact order :)
how to read books?
1. Open to first chapter.
2. Start reading.
Taiza B gASP
wOW
THANK YOU IVE BEEN WONDERING FOR SO LONG
You've answered my prayers
👏😑
a new shadowhunters related video by emma ? yes fucking please.
They should make a book just for malec
I'm obsessed
they are! www.goodreads.com/book/show/34605974-the-lost-book-of-the-white?ac=1&from_search=true
Finding Jungkook 시드 네 They're gonna make a full trilogy on them!! Plus you can read bane chronicles until then
This video is exactly what I was looking for. I'm new to Fantasy and I've been hearing about this linked series and I didn't know where to start, so THANK YOU!
I have been a fan since the first City of Bone movie came out. 😂😂Ever since then for five years .I finally own almost all of the books by her.
I don't really need to watch this, but it's Emma xD . How can she not make a video about The shadowhunter world. 😍😍
you're the best!!
Just to add. I'm currently reading LM for this year's Tome Topple, but haven't read Tales of Academy series 😭😭😭😭 I really want to read it. I just started reading LM and I'm already wondering some of the new characters.
I got to buy it asap
I really can't wait to read this series now, I didn't know what order to read it in, but now I do so I'm so glad Emma made this video!!!
I read everything in publication order and my mind was blown! There are so many little things that Cassandra connected and it's just best to read them in publication order! No matter the order you read, devastation of your life is afoot! I kind of tear up when I even look at my copy of Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, Clock Work Princess or Heavenly Fire!! Dev A Sta Tion!!!! So worth it though!!
I read:
1. City of Bones
2. City of Angels
3. City of Glass
4. Clockwork Angel
5. Clockwork Prince
6. Clock Princess
7. City of Fallen Angels
8. City of Lost Souls
9. Shadowhunter's Codex
10. City of Heavenly Fire
11. Bane Chronicles
12. Lady Midnight
13. Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy
I really do regret not reading TFTSA before reading Lady Midnight but I wanted to wait till the whole book comes out, but I'm glad I read TID before I read the last three books of TMI. I'm also glad I read the Bane Chronicles after City of Heavenly Fire because SO MUCH FEELS.
Sayali Marathe I read them in the exact same order! Well, now I'm going to read TFTSA so that I can read lord of shadows but it's the same order!
Thanks!!! As someone who hasn't read anything from this series, the whole "order" thing was daunting. I love that you included various orders instead of just one!!
I read The Infernal Devices series first and then started with City of Bones. I didn't enjoy the writing as much until I got to City of Fallen Angles. I can defiantly see her writing improvements. I will finish the series eventually, but I don't really feel like rushing through it. Thanks for all of this info! I have always wondered how to dive into this series so it's good to know.. side note- I read the Infernal Devices series first because I thought the covers were so pretty!! Lol!
i started with lady midnight .......
lols same. I saw this video and i was like oh man what have i done
Me too! 😭😭😭
Almost did that... it was the first book I got but that was back when reading was still bottom of interests. I started, didn't understand and went back to first book.
seamie ryan yeet😂 how was it. Were you confused?
Same here, I started with Lady midnight like two years ago and thought that it was just so confusing and boring, so I just never finished it and ended up thinking that it’s not for me. But now I started from City of bones, which I think is the best way, because my opinions on Shadowhunter world changed a lot and I just ended up loving absolutely everything about the series 💖
I spoiled myself for the ending of city of heavenly fire when I read the synopsis of Tales from a Shadowhunter Academy (but luckily I didn't really piece together the parts), DO NOT READ THE SYNOPSIS!!
haha oh no! i'm glad you weren't totally spoiled :)
emmmabooks yeah, that is very true 😂💓
OMG SAME IT WAS THE WORSE
I literally just did the same thing 2 weeks ago!!!!!!
The synopsis of tales of shadowhunter academy was in the end of the new City of bones paperback so I was spoiled when I looked through the end content. That kinda annoyed me.
I read the mortal instruments series like
City of bones
City of ashes
City of fallen angels
City of lost souls
City of heavenly fire
Clockwork Angel
Clockwork prince
Clockwork princess
Lady midnight
Lord of shadows
3:45
Ignore me 😂 just marking the order I want
I read them in the publication order.
I found this video at the PERFECT TIME because this year is the year to dive back into Shadowhunters!!! Gonna re-read TMI and TID, and then dive into TDA for the first time!!
I always love videos about SHADOWHUNTERS, and love seeing someone who loves these books as much as me!
I am going to read it like Cassandra Clare said the mortal instruments then the infernal devices then maybe the dark artifacts series
And now I am even more confused
Sam McRoy oh god i'm glad i'm not the only one 😂 i couldn't keep up with the video
I thought I was the only one!
To sum up, She gives you some recommendations on which order you can read the Shadowhunters Chronicles (so far comprised of The Mortal Instruments, The Infernal Devices, The Dark Artifices series + The Bane Chronicles and Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy):
1) You can read all the books in publication order, which is how the author reccomends it. It goes: City of Bones (TMI), City of Ashes (TMI), City of Glass (TMI), Clockwork Angel(TID), City of Fallen Angels (TMI), Clockwork Prince (TID), City of Lost Souls (TMI), Clockwork Princess (TID), The Bane Chronicles, City of Heavenly Fire(TMI), Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, Lady Midnight (TDA), Lord of Shadows (TDA) and Queen of Air and Darkness (TDA).
2)For the people who prefer to binge read entire series, she recommends reading the first three TMI books (City of Bones, City of Ashes and City of Glass), then the entire TDI Trilogy (Clockwork Angel, Clockwork Prince and Clockwork Princess), then the rest of the TMI books (Ciy of Fallen Angels, City of Lost Souls and City of Heavenly Fire) because there is a natural break between City of Glass and City of Fallen Angels in TMI, which is great for reading the TID Trilogy. After that you can read The Bane Chronicles, Tales from the shadowhunter academy and then the TDA series.
3) Or you can start with the prequels and binge-read TID and then TMI, then of course the bane chronicles, tales from the shadowhunter academy and lastly, TDA. It can still work as the main character in TID is also discovering the Universe, so you won't feel lost if you start with the prequels and many people (myself included) actually like The Infernal Devices better, so it's a great way to start.
General suggestions on how to read it: DO NOT READ THE DARK ARTIFICES FIRST. It will spoil TMI and TID and you may get a little lost reading it without the context. Read TID before reading TMI's City of Heavenly fire or else you will be spoiled for TID (and trust me, you don't want that). Also, you should read Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy before Lady Midnight.
@@diaachria2882 I am thinking of the same,, frist buying a box set then reading just as you said earlier....
sameee 😭
the TMI1 TID TMI2 order is what i recommend people to read. As that is how i discovered is the best way to read since CoFA mentions things that take place is Clockwork Prince so reading TID before the second half of TMI really lets you find all the easter eggs in TMI2.
this is it,this is your legacy,this is what you were born to film
im so happy that you uploaded a new Shadowhunters related video!!!! big thanks!! :)
thank YOU for watching!
Personally I read the books in order of TMI: City of Bones City of Ashes City of GlassTID: Clockwork Angel Clockwork Prince Clockwork PrincessTMI: City of fallen angels City of lost souls City of heavenly fire I had an excellent reading experience reading both of these series and now am going on to read all of the novellas and companion novels before I jump into TDA x
sounds like a great time! ahhh i hope you loved the novellas and TDA
Beauty & Books I'm currently reading them for the first time in this same order. I'm reading Heavenly Fire now. :) I'm so excited to see how it ends.
Ashley Taylor I really hope that you've enjoyed the series and carry on to read more of cassandra's work 😁
Beauty & Books Thank you! I already love her work. I can't tell wait into more of it!
Beauty & Books same!!!!
i read most of the shadowhunters chronicles years ago but listening to you talk about it makes me miss TID so much omg the feels are slowly surfacing again
Thanks Emma! Glad to have this. Just finished buying the books now to enjoy my teacher time off!!!
I'm on City of Glass, I didn't know which one to read until now😊
Also, i made the mistake of reading Lady Midnight before Shadowhunter Academy and the finale of LM was totally confusing and i just really wish i would've read the Tales first. So yeah, as much as it's not crucial, I do agree you should read them before LM. And i can't even imagine what it's like to read LM before TMI and TID. Like, WHAT THE HELL. Just read them all, it's not like you'll regret it.
awh i'm so sorry you have that experience!!
i hope after reading TFTSA you enjoy the ending more :)
LOL EXACTLY THEY'RE ALL SO GOOD WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO SKIP THEM
*Small storytime in the comments here*: I read all of the Mortal Instruments and Infernal Devices as they were being published. I got to Clockwork Princess, though, and hit an awful reading slump. This happened because I think someone spoiled me for a certain character's death at the end of the book. I put the book down and forgot about it due to college, life and stuff. I even read the entirety of Heavenly Fire with out knowing that I hadn't finished Clockwork Princess. I reread them after I had finished Lady Midnight and when I got to Clockwork Princess, I realized due to the level of attachment I had to the character, I had just told myself that I had finished the series to save myself the pain. Boy, was I confused by the ending. I have a video about but I just wanted to share that in fact you do not HAVE to read them in order but I sure as hell would have appreciated knowing the full story.
This is such a helpful video! I'm reading the books in order of publication & am currently on Clockwork Prince ☺️ Now when anyone asks I will send them this video! You explained it so well.
I read dark artifices first because I didn't realise it was part of a bigger picture and it wasn't that spoilery for me
I first read TMI, then all of TID, then The Bane Chronicles, and now I'm in the middle of Tales of Shadowhunter Academy. When I'm done, I'm stealing Lady Midnight from a friend and then reading Lord of Shadows.
Omg, me too! (But I'm a year late, soooooo....)
I’ve read all of them and the infernal devices is the BEST TRILOGY EVER omg I love it so so so so MUCH they’re my favourite books ever and my heart is so full whenever I even think about the characters 😂❤️❤️
Oh my gosh, this is so helpful! My friend recommended I read TID first, so I started those ones. I read the first 2, but suddenly I had this weird feeling that I was reading them out of order. And that maybe I would enjoy it way more if I had read TMI first. So I actually stopped reading them altogether because I just didn't know what to do! haha I finally feel safe enough to pick them back up! Yay!
EMMA! hi you probs don't remember me by name but you told me to read harry potter! I did the bibliothon a while back said about how i had just finished the 3rd book! I am now onto the second to last book and omg i cant! I'm going to film a full video talking about it early next month :) THANK YOU!
IM SO HAPPY YOU ARE LOVING IT!!!
I can't wait to film the video because it is just going to me fangirling XD hopefully you can see it when i upload it, ill link it when i can THANK YOU (You dont have to obvi)
-the mortal instruments
-lady midnight Lord of the shadows
-infernal devices
Ellie Harris i would recommend tid before tda because spoilers
How beautiful are those cover omg😍😍 I read them in the publication order and I have no regrets, I honestly think that it's the best method because you understand everything and don't get spoiled!
I just started City of Ashes yesterday! I'm so glad you made this video. I honestly hadn't heard of this entire series until about a month ago, so thank you so much for the guide!
Love you Emma❤️
love you too!
You replied 😊best birthday gift for tomorrow EVERR!
I wasn't that into booktube when I began reading tmi, and I really liked the series, so I basically ignored everyone's advice and read all of tmi xD . I was so confused at the end of cohf because these characters "jem" and "Tessa" though, and I forgot about them when I read tid so the end of clockwork princess still shocked me xD
FINALLY!!!!! Iv been waiting for this video since forever long ago, iv already started reading them but i just love you talking about shadowhunters anything
Thank you for this video!!!!!! I read the first 3 of TMI series years ago! I'm about to start TID right now! My summer is about to be dedicated to this world!
I read TMI before TID and really regret it. I also read Lady Midnight before TSA. Oh well.
I read all of TMI before TID because I didn't know better...The big moment in middle of Clockwork Princess would've been way more powerful if I hadn't already read CoHF. So many regrets!
ahhah it's definitely difficult to know the first time reading because no one is prepared!
I actually started City of Bones but ended up not finishing it. I just couldn't get into it at the time. But that's the consensus I get from a lot of people. It can be difficult to get through City of Bones. But a couple of years later, I picked up Clockwork Angel not realizing it was a part of the same universe as City of Bones. I blew through Clockwork Angel and Clockwork Prince and decided to give The Mortal Instruments a second chance and was absolutely blown away. I could not believe I had almost tossed that series to the wayside. Now I'm a avid reader of the Shadowhunters Chronicles. I re-read the series every July as a birthday gift to myself. I owe all the enjoyment I got out of the series to Clockwork Angel. Without it, I would never have made it through City of Bones and been exposed to this world that is probably my favorite book universe of all time.
Your book shelf are goals
I read them in such a random way lol. Coming into the books from watching the tv show I was obviously only aware of the tmi characters. So I read TMI, Bane Chronicles (cause Magnus is bae), Lady Midnight and then Tales (cause I didn't wanna read them in ebook) and finally TID. I know this order sounds insane lol.
is the TV show any good?
Oh God. I REALLY WANT TO JUST DIVE IN TO THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS SO BAD IT HURTS BUT because I'm me I MUST read the Infernal Devices first.
Yeah me too ow ow ouch ouch
Thanks so much for this video! I wanted to read her books for so long but couldn't find a way to read them without being spoiled! Now I'm ready to attack this huge series!
I read the prequel first and I loved the order. It's crazy that you posted this today because I JUST finished City of Heavenly Fire!
Why don't people call it 'The mortal instruments' anymore?
Libby Poole because Shadowhunters includes all the other trilogies as well.
Last month I read the first two books of the Mortal instruments. Honestly I didn't like them much and it makes me kinda sad because I feel like I'm missing out on this magical world that everyone seems to love...
It only gets really amazing half-way through the third book. Give it a shot! :)
maybe try the infernal devices and see if it's maybe more your style? i think a lot of people get stuck on the first two tmi books, so you're not alone! but if you think it's something you have the potential to like, you may want to give it another go with one of the other books :)
emmmabooks ah thank you for the reply! I think I will give the books another go because this many people can't love it for no reason 😂
Molly Rowbotham I also got stucked in book 2! For me, part of the problem is that the chapters are really long (they're around 20 pages, guys) I LOVED book 2, and that's kind of the reason why I might give it another chance. Besides, I think it's hard to read the books without thinking about the TV show or spoilers if you have been spoiled (I have).
I don't know what I will do!! 😓😓😓
Molly Rowbotham I quitted the series after book 3 because the ending left me satisfied and I thought it was an ok series, nothing impressive, but then like a year later or so I picked up Clockwork Angel and completly fell in love with it and with the world of shadowhunters and I've been a huge fan ever since. My advice is: dont give up on the series, it gets sooo much better with each book!!
This came out at such a perfect time because I'm reading City of Glass right now and didn't know how to read after it. Thanks, Emma!!
Started with Infernal Devices, then all 6 TMI, Lady Midnight, Shadowhunter Academy, and am so excited for Lord of Shadows. I'm really happy with how it went. Love this series.
So there's no spoilers in The Shadowhunter's Codex, right?
bookishsami not really but there are notes "written" by Clary, Simon and Jace that might reference inside jokes and stuff like that
bookishsami I would have at least read City of Bones before reading the Codex. I think Clary, Jace, and Simon's notes take place somewhere in the timeline of the first three books...but I'm not positive about that. If you've done that, I'd say you're fine. :)
Will you be doing TMI may or Lord Of Shadows theories when the book almost comes out?
i'm definitely doing a los theories! it'll be uploaded next week :)
I've only read City of Bones (it was years and years ago so I've forgotten most of what happens) but seeing how passionate about the series you are makes me want to actually sit down and read it all!
I fell in love with tid and have now read the first three books in tmi. Thank you for reassuring me that I haven't spoiled my future self for not reading the books in 'the correct order'. Always love you and your videos Emma ❤️
you are absolutely good to go!! haha thank you, love you too!
I don't know why but i can't stop staring on your lips, when you talk you look so much like Mavis from Hotel Transelvania .. :D
Oops I'm re-reading now Tmi , Tid, Tim, Tid, etc. Would you recommend that??
you can do that as well! there's sooooo many different ways ahhahah
emmmabooks yess! thankyouu & i LOVE your videos!!💗
I’m so thankful for finding this video. I read City of Bones, City of Ashes and City of Glass way back when they all first came out and then I think life got hectic so now I’m finally deciding to finish the series and I was so confused but this actually helped me so much!!!!
I am currently reading City of Bones (in page 388) and I love it! Scrolling down I see comments about how many people hated COB but loved COA and that makes me so excited to read City of Ashes :) plus you are so lucky that you got to meet Cassandra Clare, already a big fan. Also I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL 💙
I only read The Infernal Devices! Not interested in the others :/
nouz bwyn I'm sort of feeling this 😭 the first two books of TMI were great but I cannot get passed COG and COHF 😭
everyone's different! i see why people like TID more :)
TID was too drawn out should've been a duology or a standalone.
Ali Hasan Really? I was left wanting more! ❤
nouz bwyn u should.be
Yasss I'm so early
YAS SLAY MY FRIEND XX
This video is great! I love that she actually gives people options of how to read it and doesn't just stick to the order in which they came out.
I find that option 4 is the most enjoyable way to read it though. I've been reading them since there was only City of Bones and City of Ashes out and we thought City of Glass was the final instalment. So I have tried reading it different ways but in option 4 the story plays out properly, explaining everything without giving away spoilers and you don't have to jump from series to series, you can finish the story line you are on before moving to the next one.
you can read the mortal instruments series for free here
bookland7.weebly.com/
So I just started the mortal instruments series and the FIRST PERSON I thought about, when wanting to find out what order to read them in, was you and your channel!!! Thanks for the suggestions!!
I’m currently reading Clockwork Princess and I’m already seeing how the storylines of TMI and TID meet at one point 😱😱 i highly recommended to read them in publication order, im getting ALL the feels 💕💕💕😍
I read
1. Clockwork Angel
2. Clockwork Prince
3. City of Bones
4. City of Ashes
5. City of Glass
6. City of Fallen Angels
and I'm currently reading City of lost souls.
I'm so glad that i watched this video because now i will definitely read Clockwork Princess before City of Heavenly Fire! Thanks so much!!
Omg thank you so much for doing this. I have been wanting to read this series for months and you are the only Booktuber I trust with this series lol. I love you so much and again thanks for making this video.
I'm planning to finally read the Shadowhunter Chronicles this summer and this was extremely helpful, thank you so much!!
This was a really helpful video, I am looking forward to reading this series but had no idea where to start, thank you Emma
This is helpful. I put these series on my TBR but wasn't sure how to go about reading them.
I read TID last birthday a& am starting TMI on this one ^_^. Thanks Emma!!
The Shadowhunter Chronicles are my most favourite book series ever and I know this video is old but this is the book order I would recommend

Clockwork Prince
Clockwork Princess

City of Lost Souls
City of Heavenly Fire
The Bane Chronicles (companion novellas)

Queen of Air and Darkness
{From here on out it’s kind of uncertain the best order to read these novels and novellas in as most are not released and a lot of information is unconfirmed}
Ghosts of the Shadow Market (companion novellas) [from these novellas 8 of 10 are released ebooks however the last two will be released in the print edition with the others in June 2019]
The Eldest Curses (companion series):

The Wicked Powers (planned trilogy):
TWP 1
TWP 2
TWP 3
Dia Achria no problem, I wish I had this help when I started to read these books years ago. For the later books I’ll probably read them in publication order as soon as I can convince my parents to buy me the books as well
So glad you did this video!! Want to read this series soon and haven't yet because I had no idea where to start!! Thanks!

I got lady midnight 1st and im glad i haven't read it yet and i found this video
I used to wonder how the heck you could re-read a series this long all over again and now that I am on TDA I cannot wait to start everything all over again.
I've only read the first 3 mortal instruments and I did this about three years ago, how ever I really wanted to re enter the world and this video was perfect!!
Thank you so helpful. Dont know why I held the series off for so long. ❤❤❤
GOSH!!!!!!!! I'm currently reading city of lost souls and I just watched Emma here talking that she HIGHLY, HIGHLY ENCOURAGES me to read the infernal devices first before plunging in to the city of heavenly fire. I'm on class and it will be ultra difficult balancing shadowhunter life and real school life 😭😭😭
I originally read all of TMI, then all of TID. I was so confused as to what was going on in CoHF, but I eventually figured it out by the time I read TID 😂 . I wish I had known more about the world at the time, so I could have read everything in publication order. I'm planning on rereading everything that way this summer, so I'm really excited! This is of course extremely helpful to any new readers. Awesome video, Emma 💕
This is so incredibly useful! It came at the perfect time too because I plan to tackle the entire Shadowhunter world this summer. I think I'm going to follow the series marathoning method because I love to marathon series too!
Nadhilla Melia ah I hope you love them!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for making this! I was so confused on what to read first! Now I am going to read the first 3 of TMI then TID and then the rest of TMI! 😊😊
You just won yourself a new subscriber :). I love & live the Shadowhunter world and it's so freaking hard to explain when recommending it, specially to a non-regular reader. So now I'll just send this link!
My first read and (several) reread order was: TMI, TID, Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, The Bane Chronicles and Lady Midnight.
This is so helpful. Considering I am on City of Glass. I can do all of these ways if I choose.
I literally paused on reading city of heavenly fire in mid part of the book bec Tessa has been mentioned so many times already and i am so afraid i will be spoiled since i haven't read TID yet. Then i remember u had a guide video for this..whew! U just saved me emma, thankssss 😘😁
I'm so happy that I found this video, thank you so much for making it! I wanted to read the shadowhunter books for soo long and was about to start with city of bones first. But now that I saw your video and read all these comments I'm gonna start with TID :)
Thank you so much. I was almost about to read Lady Midnight first.
