The Shadowhunter's Codex by Cassandra Clare, Joshua Lewis

3.0

Honestly, I'm torn about how to rate this book. It was enjoyable for the most part, but some sections felt quite dry and dragged, hindering the overall pacing. The writing style also attempted to incorporate a textbook-like quality at times, which felt jarring and not entirely successful. 

Despite these shortcomings, the book did pique my interest in a potential spin-off. The lore surrounding the Silent Brothers and Iron Sisters is particularly fascinating, and I'd love to delve deeper into these enigmatic groups. 

Ultimately, rating this book is a challenge. It feels similar to trying to rate a dry history textbook. Fans who are deeply invested in the Shadowhunter world and patient with slower pacing might enjoy it more.
