I read this after my final! It was okay but I wanted more. It was a good and fast read.

Realmente es un libro solo para muy fans. Te explica algunas cosillas más a fondo, te recuerda otras y te cuenta algunas curiosidades. Algunas notas de Clary, Jace y Simon son geniales

Absolutely loved the little notes from Clary, Jace, and Simon! They're mostly what I read since I've read the codex before a looking time ago.

This book was a little dry for me-- it took me a while to get through. I think if I had read the book when I was first getting into the world that Cassandra Clare created, I would have enjoyed it all, but after having read all of the series she's written, I had almost too much knowledge to read. I really enjoyed the asides from the characters-- they made me laugh.

I am fascinated by the sheer amount of world-building that went into this series. I wish some sections had more detail, especially the rituals and rites, but I will take what I can get.

The notes from Clary, Simon, and Jace are letter-perfect. It adds the right amount of humor and additional detail that the straight text doesn't on its own.

It wasn't wonderfully needed but I learnt some interesting things from it: mostly from the fun margin notes. It's a good place to look if you need reference to something though, maybe not a full sit read through like I just did.

Nudien izcila esence ar labāko, kas ir tajās grāmatās, papildināta ar zīmējumiem un smieklīgām"piezīmēm" no Clary, Simon & Jace.

Ja visas clave un izcelsmes lietas šķita juceklīgas, tad šis ir tieši laikā lai nostiprinātu zināšanas. Shadowhunters sabiedrība, visas būtņu sugas, dēmonu klasifikācija, iepazīstināšana ar ieročiem, Jonathan Shadowhunter leģenda ar analīzi.

Visa informācija tiek nostādīta pa plauktiņiem, ir atsauces gan uz TMI oriģinālo triloģiju, gan foreshadow uz turpmākajām daļām. Timeline ziņā šis notiek 4.grāmatas sākumā un piemin tēlu, kas tur tiek iepazīstināts. Tāpat ir vēl nelielas norādes uz The Infernal Devices trešo daļu. Tas āķīgais lēmums, kad šo vislabāk lasīt.... Laikam jau pēc TMI#6, kad var atgriezties nostaļģiskā pagātnē un novērtēt pilno ironiju par lietām, kuras tēli vēl piedzīvos, bet paši to vēl neapjauš.

Nudien uzsit excitement it kā lasītājs pats grasītos pievienoties shadowhunters rindām. :D

Awesome! Šo jau sen vajadzēja, pavisam cits skatpunkts uzreiz.
