Cassandra Clare has been my favorite author since I was a teenager. I‘m FINALLY getting to this series after years of starting it and then putting it down for other books. Lady Midnight definitely didn‘t disappoint. As usual in Clare‘s writing you fall in love with the characters immediately and her beautiful world. And she sure knows how to write forbidden love arcs 😂 Can‘t wait to read the next book!

Doing a reread of Lady Midnight so I can finally finish this trilogy, so I can start The Last Hours series (I know they‘re not a series together, but in my mind I need to do this😅). Hopefully I can have all 5 books finished by the time Chain of Thorns comes out! 🙌🏼

Since Julian is an artist thought he would appreciate my choice of Monet water lillies tea cup for today's Instagram #ShadowhunterSunday Prompt - Julian Blackthorn.

For publishing year 2016 I selected this title. I find her reads to be for the most part guilty pleasure reads. Really creative and with a large cast of characters that engage the reader. #19822022 #readingchallenge2022 @Librarybelle

Librarybelle I remember liking City of Bones but have not read any of her other books. Good choice! 2y

It's been five years since last binge reading TID and TMI so I thought its tone to go back into the shadowhunters world. This wasn't my favourite one, I found the first half slow and I didn't like Emma too much, though I did like the other characters and really enjoyed seeing the old characters come back. The plot was good, different to the other books and I will read the rest to find out what happens, plus that massive cliffhanger at the end...

Recently finished this first of the Dark Artifices series. Emma Carstairs is in search of those who are responsible for her parents‘ deaths in the Dark War. Lots of love, betrayal, and shadowhuntery sorts of things. A must read if you‘re a fan.

Finally broke down and decided to purchase the Clockwork trilogy. I‘ve read them, but don‘t own them. Grabbed all three at B&N where I was visiting from out of town, then found a box set for 15% off. No brainer, right? Just got home and it‘s the wrong box set. I already own all of these! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Sleep deprivation is real, y‘all.

Takes places years after the war with Valentine & deals with some of the aftermath of that

Our main protagonist Emma's all encompassing focus is on finding her parent's murderer. This is full of secrets & lies all in the name of protecting those they love.

I really enjoyed being introduced to some new characters in the shadowhunter world. I just love Clare's style in writing; her mix of character development, mystery, magic and dark intent.

Don't you feel like in a sepia picture sometimes? I've been feeling like that the last couple of weeks, so I chose this book to cheer me up, maybe I can concentrate a little, since I really love #CassandraClare 's books, and try so many books before this one.

I'm sending love, strength and faith to all the Litsypians that need it. Make sure to stay safe. I really hope this coming week is better than the last one.
Happy reading everyone! 💙📖💙

Hi Litsy! I can‘t possibly fill you in on all the things that have happened the past few months. Let‘s just say it has been a lot. Life got really overwhelming. I needed to walk away from some things to make room for other things. But I think everything is under control and I‘m back. I have missed you all. I have still been reading. Maybe not as much as usual, but books, as always, helped me get through.

This was my chunky book for March, just under 670 pages. It is the first book in The Dark Artifices trilogy. This trilogy concerns Emma Carstairs and Julian Blackthorn, two shadowhunters. I very much enjoyed it. I have the next two books in the series. #books

Finished this while enjoying and #audiowalk after work today. It looks gross out, but there was sun! These books have so much teen angst and drama, and I enjoyed every minute of it.

Crazeedi I love the corner porches!! I can imagine walking out of my bedroom and sitting on rmth one on second floor, outside yet provate 4y
Johanna414 @Crazeedi that is exactly what I do! My husband screened it in this summer, and it‘s soooooo nice to sit out there after the kids go to sleep in the evenings. I can‘t wait for it to warm up enough to start up again! 4y
Crazeedi @Johanna414 excuse my spelling mistakes, btw(see above, lol). I'm very jealous of your cozy porch off your room, I've always dreamed of a place like that, getting me coffee and opening the door from my room and settling in to smell the fresh morning air and read!!❤ enjoy this summer!! 4y

Ok. I please need someone to geek out on me.
I need to talk #CassandraClare reading order.

I know her books are like one big series, but are also broken up into smaller series within that. Should I just read the the Shadowhunter Chronicles all in order, or could I pick and choose? Does it matter? Thinking of starting Dark Artifacts in Feb or March. Should I? Is there anything I didn't ask but should?

Please & Thank you. 💙

jen_the_scribe I've only read The Mortal Instruments, The Infernal Devices, and book 1 of The Dark Artifices. Cassandra Clare talked about this on Instagram a while back. She said you don't have to read the series' in any particular order, but you should stick to book order. 4y
SmartSassery @jen_the_scribe thank you very much! 4y
That-Bookish-Hiker I took a break after book 3 of TMI then read the Infernal Devices and went back to TMI after that. That helped me a lot and filled in the story. And I‘ve seen reading orders posted on the owlcrate Facebook page. Here is a link that shows different reading orders. https://rivetedlit.com/2018/08/27/cassandra-clare-books-in-order/ 4y

InkedBookworm13 I was also confused about what to do. I will be reading this series here in the next month or so. I am going to do all the mortal instruments books first then the bane Chronicles and takes from Shadow Hunter academy. I am then going to do the infernal devices, then the dark artifacts and then finally the last hours series. 4y
InkedBookworm13 @That-Bookish-Hiker I just checked out the link and that's super cool and now I am rethinking my reading order lol 4y
SmartSassery @That-Bookish-Hiker There are so many preferred reading orders! It reminds me of Terry Brooks books. I'm excited, I want to hear all of them. 😉 The old switch-a-roo. I like it. I often have several books going at a time but I had not thought to skip around within the series. 4y
SmartSassery @LokiDokey You've got a solid plan of attack. I like that. That's where I'm trying to be. I didn't mean to make you question your method. 😂 4y
Bookish_Viking I just finished the main Mortal Instruments series, 1-6. I think finishing the original series is a good place to start. After that, me personally I tend to do sequels before prequels, and just in the order they were released for me. 4y
SmartSassery @ReaperOfTerrasen I uses to be like that but I'm now rereading the Shannara books in Brooks suggested order. I'm really digging it. So now I search all the order recommendations before I start a series. lol Thank you very much for your suggestions. 4y

So last time I read two shadowhunter books in a row I got a bit of shadowhunter fatigue. BUT I then discovered James Marsters narrates the next after this in this series, now I need to read this one because I want to listen to SPIKE!!! 😂 Got the audiobook on reserve from the library so have two weeks to get through the first.. p.s. sorry for the shadowhunters spamming - I‘ll read something different soon!

This book left me with mixed feelings. The first half of the book dragged on and on for me and the whole Emma and Jules keeping secrets from each other got annoying really quick. Once the second half got started I was intrigued and had to finish it. Not a bad read and I will pick up the next one soon. :)

I read Cassandra Clare's first series. I decided to read it since I wanted to find out what happened after her first series.
Summary: The main focus is, Emma tries to find out the killer that killed her parents. Julian and Emma try to figure the cases, without getting help/caught by the clave. They go through phases where their family/friendship are at risk for answers.

The Dark Artifices welcomes the third Shadowhunter series. The storyline of Mark Blackthorn coming back from the being taken by the faeries and the Hunt after five years brings new blood to the story as well as we learn how characters from prior books are fairing. I would have preferred to not end with the same old longing being thrown in to some forbidden zone, but have come to terms that this is the author‘s formula.
