A review by thebooklovingpanda
The Shadowhunter's Codex by Joshua Lewis, Cassandra Clare

2.0

I dunno...I picked it up in the library because I've read the original series and quite liked it, but this read too much like an actual textbook for me to enjoy it that much. I do get that it's technically supposed to be a textbook, but other authors have done the 'textbook'/companion book thing which I enjoyed more (e.g. [b:The School For Good and Evil: The Ever Never Handbook|27203016|The School For Good and Evil The Ever Never Handbook|Soman Chainani|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1444845540s/27203016.jpg|47243841], [b:Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them|41899|Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them|Newt Scamander|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1303738520s/41899.jpg|4195128], [b:The Demigod Files|3992598|The Demigod Files (Percy Jackson and the Olympians)|Rick Riordan|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1293421593s/3992598.jpg|4038656]). Maybe because they were shorter?

The illustrations were lovely though.
