liked it alot. it made me feel like a shadowhunter. was a little boring at times, to be honest, but it was good. it contained a few notes from the characters like they wrote in the book (clary , Jace and Simon )

“Shadowhunter” is not what you do; it is who you are.

Now officially a Shadowhunter, woo!

What a great companion! It feels like you are a Shadowhunter studying with Clary’s books. It feels reminiscent of the Harry Potter textbooks, without being a direct copy. I love reading Simon and Clary and Jace’s notes to each other. It reads a lot like a text book (because it’s supposed to be one, ok) but the notes and drawings make it worthy of a reread every once in a while.

I think the concept of this book is really cool , love the drawings and the notes in it. I personally took about an hour and a half to flick through and read some of the text, look at the images and the notes. I didnt read it word for word but instead decided I would refer back to it if I needed to. It's not a book thats a must read for the series which is why I've given it 3 out of 5 stars, it's more of a guide to go alongside the books

I wasn’t very impressed with The Shadowhunter’s Codex. Although I didn’t really know what to expect with this book. There was a lot of information crammed into 275 pages. And I found myself bored when I reached the last third of the book. What really made the book was the comments by Clary, Jace and Simon in the margins throughout the book.

this was super cute, and ofc I learned things. this is one of my fave "guide" type books for fantasy worlds so far.
