Madrugue, pero lo termine! Algunas partes fueron muy interesantes, otras aburridas, las notas estuvieron graciosas. Y ahora sí, me alejare por un largo tiempo de los cazadores de sombras.

Very informative and well written but hard to read.
Kinda just like reading an encyclopaedia

WILL PICK UP LATER. i like this, but at the moment i'd rather read other things.

Mmm... Tengo sentimientos encontrados con este libro. No me sumo prácticamente nada a lo que ya sabía del mundo de Shadowhunters, fue sacar toda la información ya aportada en las diferentes sagas en un solo libro. Más de lo mismo.
Lo único que si me gustó es la historia de Jonathan Cazador de Sombras, el primero con el nombre.
El resto fue repetitivo... Me esperaba más ...

Midly funny!

 A bit history, a bit textbook, I still enjoyed this look inside the Shadowhunter world. This is Clary’s copy of the codex and it’s filled with notes and drawings between Clary, Jace, and Simon. There’s maps, runes, and weapons, demons, and downworlder descriptions. 

Zzzzzz

This was super fun, but it wasn’t really interesting enough to consistently keep my attention. I loved the annotations.

" 'Shadowhunter' is not what you do; it is who you are. Every aspect of your life will change to accommodate the holy assignment you have been chosen for.”

“Simon, you don’t have to make pretend fangs with your fingers. You have actual fangs.”

“Shadowhunters are concerned they are no longer haughty and condescending enough—have sought you out to add a much needed boost of haughty condescension.”

“Beginner: Ability to pass as a mundane in a typical public scenario (’driving a car’, ‘shopping for food,’ etc.). Please see Mundanes Do the Darnedest Things, 1988 edition, in you local institute library, for suggestions.”

“…sensitive to being harmed by frostbite, compulsive need to count individual grains of spilled rice, overweening pride.”

“A handy tip: When angels say ‘be not afraid,’ you should be afraid. Also, as I said earlier, we have to memorize angel names because Jonathan Shadowhunter wanted us to have to memorize angel names.”
