Dear reader,

If you don't know, I am a huge Shadowhunter fan and have been for a huge office of my life. The Mortal Instruments series isn't necessarily my favourite but The Infernal Devices and The Dark Artifices ones are, and then I have alot of dear for this world and all it brought me.

Over the years a lot of people have told me they wanted to outset this huge series only there were besides many series within of it, and therefor they didn't know where to first. I once filmed a video about information technology only I idea information technology could help more people if information technology was written.

And then, in honour of Chain of Gold existence finally released today, here are all the ways to read the Shadowhunter Chronicles!

❥ Chronological order (story)

With this order you read the book as one big story, therefor you start with the books set in the by, such asThe Infernal Devices trilogy which happens in the 19th century. I wouldn't recommend it because many books aren't out yet if you lot desire to follow that order, which may make information technology messy.

Here is the first chronological guild:

  • The Infernal Devices trilogy
  • Chain of Gold (book 1 in The Last Hours trilogy)
  • The Mortal Instruments (both trilogies)
  • The Bane Chronicles (novellas nigh Magnus Bane through history)*
  • The Carmine Scrolls of Magic (book ane in The Eldest Curses trilogy)
  • The Tales of the Shadowhunter Academy (novellas around the Shadowhunter Academy through history)*
  • The Dark Artifices book 1 and ii
  • Ghosts of the Shadow Market (novellas around unlike Shadowhunter markets through history)*
  • The Dark Artifices book iii

*Yous tin can leave the novellas bind ups for when you'll be done with all the novels. I tried to comprise them into the lodge, merely it may exist best to keep for last, except forGhosts of the Shadow Market which makes more sense to be read before Queen of Air and DarknessandTales of the Shadowhunter Academy which likewise helps understanding more things in Lady Midnight.

❥ Chronological club (releases)

At present this order is the i that near people followed, the 1 with the releases chronological order. It would make the more than sense every bit certain serial accept been created to intertwined with others, and then yous may want to follow this one, though it tin can be a bit hard to follow at times where you're at in the story.

Here is the second chronological order:

  • The Mortal Instruments (offset trilogy)
  • Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices volume 1)
  • City of Fallen Angels (The Mortal Instruments volume 4, first book in the 2nd trilogy)
  • Clockwork Prince (TID book 2)
  • Urban center of Lost Souls (TMI book 5)
  • Clockwork Princess (TID book 3)
  • City of Heavenly Burn (TMI book 6)
  • Tales from the Shadowhunter University
  • Lady Midnight (The Dark Artifices book 1)
  • Lord of Shadows (The Dark Artifices book 2)
  • Ghosts of the Shadow Market
  • Queen of Air and Darkness (The Dark Artifices book iii)
  • The Cherry Scrolls of Magic
  • Chain of Gilded

Over again, you tin can read the novellas demark ups whenever (I'd still recommend to read the Tales of the Shadowhunter University earlierLady Midnight and the Ghosts of the Shadow Market before Queen of Air and Darkness) and then I didn't add theBane Chroniclesthis time. It's only best to read it once you're done withThe Mortal Instruments.

❥ Cassandra Clare order

Here is the one I followed once I started to really get into this world because information technology's the one Cassandra Clare used to recommend. When I met her in London she told us that with the upcoming release ofChain of Gold, which is the story most the children of the characters inThe Infernal Devices series, she told people more often to readTID first. However I however believe this gild is amazing and it gave me all the feels.

  • The Mortal Instruments(first trilogy)
  • The Infernal Devices
  • The Mortal Instruments(second trilogy)
  • Tales from the Shadowhunter University
  • The Dark Artifices book one and ii
  • Ghosts of the Shadow Market
  • Queen of Air and Darkness(The Dark Artificesbook 3)
  • Chain of Aureate

With this club feel costless to readThe Blight Chronicles whenever andThe Red Scrolls of Magicwhen you want, as long equally it's later being done withTMI.

❥ What books will come out now

We yet accept a few books to come out in this long, long serial, and so even if it'southward ending, nosotros'll have Shadowhunter books until 2025 and more. Here are the books all the same coming out:

  • Every bitChain of Gold is finally being released on March 3rd (I waited six years for it, if non more) nosotros obviously will be waiting for book 2 and 3 inThe Final Hours trilogy, includingChain of IronandChain of Thorns. Again, this trilogy is all about the children of the characters inThe Infernal Devices.
  • In 2019 Cassandra Clare released a new trilogy about Alec and Magnus, co-written with Wesley Chu, chosenThe Eldest Curses. Book 1 wasThe Cherry-red Scrolls of Magicand we're now waiting forThe Lost Book of the White and The Black Volume of the Dead.
  • Finally at that place is one terminal trilogy which hasn't been much talked about yet, calledThe Wicked Powers. In this one nosotros'll follow a few characters fromThe Dark Artifices (and I won't say more considering that may be spoilery). We don't have whatsoever titles yet but the first book is expected to be released in 2022.

And that'south all!

I hope that this web log mail will help some of y'all who want to start reading virtually this world. Though I likedThe Mortal Instruments series it isn't my favourite, but bothThe Infernal DevicesandThe Nighttime Artifices are, and I promise that it'southward worth it. Apparently you can read any series you similar in whatever order you similar, you only may terminate up being spoiled nearly other books.

Have yous e'er read annihilation by Cassandra Clare?

Honey always,

Clara
