I think the one with Simon finding out more about Valentine's Circle is the one I'm more interested in.

Like how they all are tying all the series together.

Stay to the Lights · 02-05-2015, 08:37 PM

I like that too. How this seems to tie all the books together.

Rebel Hearts · 02-07-2015, 01:51 PM

I keep going back and forth on whether or not I should read The Mortal Instruments series. I mean I know a lot of people enjoyed it and it always shows up on my Recs on GoodReads but there's just SO many books

And they seem quite lengthy, not sure if I'll be able to get through them.

Stay to the Lights · 02-07-2015, 06:43 PM

Oh, you should read them. They're quite addictive so its easy to get through them

At least give it a shot.

Rebel Hearts · 02-07-2015, 11:40 PM

I'll have to because it seems to be a really popular series

Stay to the Lights · 02-07-2015, 11:41 PM

It is

I think you would like it.

Its better to read the first 3, then read the prequel trilogy (since the characters come to play in TMI 4-6) then read 4-6 of TMI.

She also mentions it on her website.

Quote:

What order should I read the Shadowhunter Chronicles in?

I suggest that you read them in a slightly strange order. That means:

The Mortal Instruments, Part One:

City of Bones

City of Ashes

City of Glass

The Infernal Devices

Clockwork Angel

Clockwork Prince

Clockwork Princess

The Mortal Instruments, Part 2

City of Fallen Angels

City of Lost Souls

City of Heavenly Fire

Oh okay, cool. I never knew that the prequel characters would show up in the series. I thought they were just in the prequel series only. Good to know

Stay to the Lights · 02-09-2015, 06:54 AM

Oh yes, they very much are connected.

Rebel Hearts · 02-10-2015, 06:33 PM

Well I guess it makes sense since it seems like those with powers in these books live for a very long time

Stay to the Lights · 02-11-2015, 06:37 AM

Well, that would only apply to Warlocks/Vampires. The Shadowhunters live out Mortal Lives.

Rebel Hearts · 02-11-2015, 08:02 PM

Oh okay. Well you see I need to read the books to know these things

Drunk On You · 02-11-2015, 08:48 PM

Then read them.

Stay to the Lights · 02-12-2015, 07:24 AM

Exactly

Rebel Hearts · 02-12-2015, 10:55 PM

I should get on that

Stay to the Lights · 02-13-2015, 07:47 AM

Sounds like a plan.
