Welcome to Litsy!

This definitely had its moments, especially in the development of Alec as a character and in showing his commitment to Magnus. But the prose was often so weak, and Magnus, an immortal being with centuries of wisdom and experience, came off as TSTL. I had hoped to be reminded of why I love this series but mostly I was reminded of why I stopped reading it. 😔

#AllTheStoriesAreTrue had reached modern day and I got in mood to binge. Between print, kindle, & audio this month I've already read 3 short stories, 2 extras, & main books:

Son of Dawn
Not for Humans
City of Bones
Kissed
The Course of True Love and First Dates
What to Buy the Shadowhunter Who Has Everything
City of Ashes
City of Glass

I don't read a ton of Manga but I'm always disappointed. You start with a few pages of beautiful I color artwork and then goes to black and white. It's such a a letdown.

I didn't particularly like the artwork in this. Charlotte looked liked evil doll. I'm not sure what Magnus was supposed to look like. If I hadn't read original I don't think I would have been able to keep up with story.

Maybe Manga just isn't for me.

#ShadowhunterSunday In March I'll be reading The Infernal Devices Manga - Clockwork Angel, Clockwork Prince, and Clockwork Princess. I have this Trilogy that contains all 3.

Will also be reading a few pages of The Whitechapel Fiend and Nothing But Shadows. Both of these short stories from modern day #TalesfromtheShadowhunterAcademy include flashbacks to where I'm at in my Timeline Reread. ➰️

#ShadowhunterSunday
Thoughts on January and February rereads of The Infernal Devices: One of the things I love about Cassandra Clare novels is that she writes strong female characters. This series is full of them. It also has my all time favorite character Magnus Bane. Chapter of him and Henry inventing things was The Best. ➰️
