Status Updates From Tales from the Shadowhunter...

I’m so happy to have been able to read Tessa, Will and Jem again (Gabriel and Cecily too, of course — but you know what I mean), and Jessamine as well! I’m loving this book with all my heart, and I adore Simon’s struggle to understand where he belongs in the world and who he is within it… everyone else seems to know except him. I think we’ve all felt like that at some point.

Jace tryna convince Simon he has beef with Alec is actually hilarious lmao

I’ll stop asking why I didn’t read this book at the height of my obsession with the saga and accept it was a mistake. I would’ve loved it even more back then. After finishing the 2 story, I’m left with many questions. I know it came out a while ago, but I can’t help thinking Tobias and the hidden lineage may be something Cassandra explores later perhaps in “The Wicked Powers”. We’ll have to wait.

What’s this whole thing about reiterating how smoll and tiny and delicate Clary is??? Kinda weirddddd

I’ve just finished the first tale, “Welcome to Shadowhunter Academy”, and once again I find myself asking, “Why the hell did I leave this book gathering dust on my shelf for so long?” I’m an avid Shadowhunters fan and, honestly, I can understand why this might not be everyone’s favourite story, but I genuinely loved it. I truly did. I’ll carry on with the next one and keep you updated.

Looks around confused

Valentine still???????? I thought I’d be haunted by Herondales???? Free me

Pleaseeeee don’t tempt me to skip this because we’re STILL talking about how hot Jace is good lord
