  • What is with the page length in YAs?

    Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but what is this new trend in YA fantasy books to make them over 500 pages? For example, I love Cassandra Clare’s Shadowhunter Chronicles. Dark Artifices is the trilogy where she really amps the page length into the 800s. Queen of Air and Darkness was nearly a 1,000 if…

  • More Thoughts on Tales from Shadowhunter Academy

    Cuz apparently I’m still not over it. Maybe it’s a bit nitpicky or maybe I’m biased because I enjoy Simon/Isabelle/Sizzy but I want another Tales from Shadowhunter Academy. And this time I want it to truly focus on Simon and Izzy.   What I mean is that while the anthology format was entertaining and showed many parts…

  • Reading Log 2022

    Well I feel pretty proud of myself this year from starting up this blog, getting up to 292 posts (woot woot) and being able to interview at leat 20 authors I admired. It has been a pretty good Now this list is a list of books I read from cover to cover, including acknowledgements. Each…

    This illustrated history promises to give you a behind the scenes peek into your favorite Shadowhunter and Downworlder characters from Clare’s hit fantasy series. Which it somewhat succeeds. I’ll admit the amazon summary may have oversold it as I was eagerly flying through the pages to see a complete Shadowhunter family tree as I am…

  • Thoughts on Shadowhunter Anthologies

    I’ve already discussed my thoughts on the Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy anthology so now I go onto The Magnus Bane Chronicles and Ghosts of the Shadowmarket.

  • The Dark Artifices Lookback

    Ah yes, Clare’s biggest trilogy to date and admittedly my least favorite. Maybe I’m just getting burnt out, or maybe I’m just not connecting to the characters but I won’t be revisiting this series as much as the other two.

  • Infernal Devices Trilogy Lookback

    Alright, second trilogy of Cassandra Clare’s Shadowhunter Chronicles. This took place between the third Mortal Instruments book and the fourth as I said in the previous post that The Mortal Instruments trilogy was supposed to only be 3 books instead of 6 books. So this took place between.

  • The Mortal Instruments Series Lookback

    Originally I was going to write one huge post after I finished all of Cassandra Clare’s Shadowhunter universe books, but as it has been almost four years and I still have two books to go, I figured I should start writing now as I’m forgotting some of my original thoughts after four years. These things…
