I have a solution for all the hater... DON'T READ THE DAMN BOOKS! What's wrong with feeding my obsessive hunger for the shadowhunter world? If you don't like them anymore don't read it I get it people change now get over it and move on!!!

I especially like the commenters who have it on their "to read" list, though they feel it's absolutely necessary to voice how much they cannot stand the thought of this book/series, or Clare's other books/series coming out. Some people need...to get over themselves. We don't care if you don't want to read it, or the many reasons why you don't think it should have ever been written. Really. We don't. After reading the fiftieth comment from someone who is all about being negative and ugly about it, I'm just done. If you don't like the idea of this book/series, then don't f*cking read it. Easy.(less)

I guess I'm only alive in this world because I need to finish all the 18 (and, probably, over 10 companion novels/compilations/manuals) books from the Shadowhunter Chronicles + Magisterium Series (and subsequent novels of when Call and whoever is still alive go to the Collegium, which is pretty obvious that will be published after book 5 (The Enemy of Death)) and to see its portrayals into movies/TV series, so I can kind of thank her for that LOL(less)

Am I able to read this if I have only read the first 3 books in TMI and the TID trilogy? Or do I need to read the last few books in TMI first?

Actually it is supposed you can read independently but you will understand it better.
you don't need to finish TMI as it is set before it (1903)(less)

do I need to read The Mortal Instruments series before I read this?

ReynReads Not at all! but it'd be good if you read 'The Infernal Devices' since this series is the sequel of it and you will definitely get spoilers for it and …moreNot at all! but it'd be good if you read 'The Infernal Devices' since this series is the sequel of it and you will definitely get spoilers for it and you'd get confused at some parts because there are many references to it. The only big issue is that this book expects you to have a bit of knowledge on the world of shadowhunters. That's about it!(less)

Can you read this book if you haven't read any other books in The Shadowhunter World?

Anna Huff All of her series are kind of set up to be their own story, you might not understand certain inside jokes and references but it really doesn't matter.…moreAll of her series are kind of set up to be their own story, you might not understand certain inside jokes and references but it really doesn't matter.
