Ghosts of the Shadow Market | Cassandra Clare

I'd listened to a few of these stories before but they work much better as a collection, with the continuing themes of Jem's search for the lost Herondale, and his eternal love for Tessa and Will. Also there are two extra stories only in the print version! It's very much NOT an entrance into the series, but some enjoyable fan service as well as background info for future series.

OutsmartYourShelf Must re-read my Cassandra Clare books next year. 🎃🎃 7d

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 7d

Crinoline_Laphroaig My readalong has stalled a bit. I'm about to start City of Heavenly Fire. 7d

willaful @Crinoline_Laphroaig I'm not sure what to read next. I have the Lost Book of the White but a lot of the stories in this were after the events of the Lady Midnight series, so maybe I should have another whack at that. 6d

Crinoline_Laphroaig @willaful I love the Lost Book of the White. It's such a fun romp. But yeah there's one specific plot point I can think of that you need to have read Queen of Air and Darkness or it will be a Spoiler. 5d

willaful @Crinoline_Laphroaig I think the Shadow Market spoiled me for everything already. 5d

City of Ashes | Cassandra Clare

so-so

I‘m really enjoying the story line but I definitely feel it could have been done without all these weird incest vibes 🥲 I‘m so excited for when it‘s no longer a thing 🙃 Onto the 3rd book!

The Red Scrolls of Magic | Cassandra Clare, Wesley Chu

so-so

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. 😔

Crinoline_Laphroaig I like that, you get Alec's point of view. He's still insecure but starting to come into his own. Plus he gets to be the badass warrior in this one. You can definitely see the foreshadowing of future problems. Mostly I love it for the fun of traveling in Magnus Bane style. 3mo

City of Ashes | Cassandra Clare

It's been 9 years since I read the first book in this series, City of Bones. I felt I was able to get back into the world with no problems. I like the world of the shadow hunters. It's hard to explain what is going on here, but the book ended on an epic battle that was fun to read. We get a lot more of Jace in this series, and Simon too.
