It was interesting to see how Cassie created her characters. Loved the Malec portion!

This is very close to being a must-read for fans of Cassandra Clare's Shadowhunter novels, - if you are interested in an in-depth analysis of the books on certain aspects of the plot, all in essay-form and written by different other published authors.
It will most likely teach you something, and make you see something from the books from a different angle. Try it - you might learn something :-)

A very informative read.
The Mortal Instruments series is one of my fave series ever! and reading this guide book have widen my knowledge about shadowhunters and downworlders.
Moreover, Cassandra Clare further explained some things about the characters from their personalities to the weapons they use.
You would know more about your favorite characters in this guide book.
I recommend it to all TMI fans out there!

*I received an ARC copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*
This was a difficult book for me to get through. I don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't just essays about Cassandra Clare's writing. Don't get me wrong I enjoy her books but this felt like the equivalent of an AP English class dissecting an English literary master. Some of the essays were good. I particularly liked Kelly Link/Holly Black and Sarah Rees Brennan's essays. But it definitely felt awkward at times. I don't know that many readers would get alot out of a reader like this. It didn't really talk about the world or characters as much as english lit type critiques. 3 out of 5 stars.

If you want to still enjoy this series, skip the incest chapter. Actually just don’t read this at all. 🍉

I love the Smart Pop series of books. This collection of essays from YA authors discussing Cassie's Mortal Instruments/Infernal Devices worlds was very interesting. I love reading others views and interpretations of events and relationships in the books.

Really good. Not something I'd purchase but was really interesting. Thank you NetGalley!
