I listened to shadow hunters book 1, but i consider this my first “real” Cassandra Clare… and I almost feel the writing style is a little *overly* descriptive in a way that’s not my favorite.
It’s good writing, I’m just learning I prefer a less descriptive style w more focus on characterization. However, the setup for the world and the players is in a fabulous place to build from here

It’s kind of a head trip that Lynne is basically the same character as Jeanne from Lions of Al Rassan, they’re starting to get mixed up in my head. Time to take a break from fantasy after I finish these

I’m not sure if this is an actual genre , but this book along with mask of mirrors feels like a sub genre of urban fantasy.
I’m not sure if “high urban fantasy” is a thing?

Yeah I’m learning I don’t care about overly detailed clothing descriptions in books at all. Especially when it’s high fantasy like this: inspired by some vague, indistinguishable historical period. Like I have no idea what y’all got on

So the woman voicing the main girl sounds like she’s about to burst into tears at any moment
And it’s kind of funny that I’m reading 2 fantasy books at the same time with marginalized physician FMCs
