I highly, highly recommend reading this series because I literally LOVED this!! My love for this series is largely because of nostalgic reasons, I know that it has its own flaws....Don't get me wrong, every book does, but this was the series that actually introduced me to the world of Fantasy.
I cannot just recommend this enough, especially for the people who have just started getting into the Fantasy genre!!
Shadowhunters were practically my obsession in 7th gradel!! Lol...
So if you don't know what this is about, this series follows the story of 16 year old Clary Fray, as she enters into the dark world of demons and angels. Since childhood, she has lived among the mundane or humans, although she belongs to this supernatural race of humans called Nephilim or Shadowhunters that are born to protect humanity from demons. There are also other mythical creatures like vampires, werewolves, faeries and warlocks that are called Downworlders.
If you liked the first book, or even if you didn't , I would say definitely give City of Ashes (Book 2) a chance as Clare skillfully picks up the pace in the end with twists, turns and betrayals that will change the game, keeping us hooked all through City of Glass (3), City of Fallen Angels (4), City of Lost Souls (5), City of Heavenly Fire (6)
It was honestly one of the most life-changing book I've ever read because after this... I was just completely taken over by the fantasy genre and I just fell deeper and deeper into it.
Praise for Shadowhunters: "Wildly popular...... Prepare to be hooked"-Entertainment Weekly
