Great video! I love this breakdown the best of any I’ve seen for these books. Please never stop making TSC videos. I’m dying for a deep dive on TDA, most people choose TMI or TID. 😂
This is very well done. I appreciate your enthusiasm for this series. I've only read the first half of TMI and all of TID. The series is so huge I don't know whether to reread what I've already read (about a decade) ago, or start one of the ones I haven't read.
@@bree1000I actually need to finish reading it, I’ve read TMI and TID, next up TDA (please do a video about those too!!!!!!! I need it!!!! the best part of my experience reading TID was doing it while watching your videos)
@@giovannarodrigues8420 you’re in luck cause i actually have decided I’m gonna do vids on the dark artifices too! I have a poll up rn in the community tab to see which people want first: TDA or TLH. Looks like TDA is winning so far!
Omg yes Herongraystairs is the best love triangle!!! I may have to rewatch your TID recap series, I’m due for my TID fix 😂. And big agree on Ghosts of the Shadow Market being the best short story collection. Though I may be biased since it stars my favorite character.
I read the moral instruments ages ago, then got sucked into your retelling of infernal devices and now that you've introduced the idea of the series being tied to seasons i kinda want to read them by season. I may be starting with the LA books just for the summer vibes.
@@kat.k5321 He’s one of my favorites from TLH along with Alastair and (hear me out) Grace. I just love sad characters who have made mistakes in the past and are trying so hard to be a better person but also have so much self hate. I know there’s a rumor that Cassie might be writing a novella collection for Matthew, and I NEED it to be real. Also I’m curious what songs you have on that playlist 👀
I read the series in true publication order but at that point I did that, both the mortal instruments and the infernal devices were completed. I’m a freak in its truest form.
I read the original trilogy when it came out (I must have been around 13 at the time and it was my first urban fantasy) and I was OBSESSED with the worldbuilding, the humor and the vibes. I later read TID and also loved them but TMI (specially the first 3) has a special place in my heart no matter how ridiculous they are hahahaha I haven’t read anything else from the Shadowhunter world since then so I was waiting for this video! I put the fisrt book on TDA on hold on my library app👍 We’re so back.
I don’t know if it’s the nostalgia, but i still enjoy reading TMI (even the original trilogy). They’re just so entertaining! And my little sister is reading them for the first time right now and it’s I love hearing her reaction to everything. Especially that sebastian reveal! It feels like I’m reading them for the first time again haha. Hope you enjoy TDA!
@@bree1000we would looooove long videos, please do not worry if it goes over 2hrs. 😅unless ofcourse it is a problem for you. But believe us, we are completely okay with longer videos❤
I honestly didn’t even read the red scrolls of magic until last year 😩 i still gotta read the lost book of the white, but i’ve been saving it for when I’m in a slump and need something fun that i know i’ll like
man, I'm still so disappointed in chain of thornes that its unreal... also thank you for mentioning how James showed up early in that short story adn then was so different cause like??? why did that keep happening wiht that series, I feel like she had a completely different idea of waht it would be like initially and then changed her mind and thats why its such a mess tbh
@@Demona9999Marluxia fr i felt like i was crazy because everyone was fangirling over james and TLH and i was just not feeling it. I think chain of iron and chain of gold are alright, but I still feel like they could have been much better. I think Cassandra clare was feeling burnt out and it was really showing in her writing. Something was off. It didn’t have that spark that the other trilogies have. And chain of thorns was a slog to get through. It took me forever to finish it cause reading it felt like a chore 😅 which sucks cause I really wanted it to be good. And i thought i was gonna love James but i found him kind of annoying tbh
@@bree1000 I feel everyone was acting weird in that third book, it all felt strange XD I like James, but I feel the original idea of him and how he ended up seem different, and like both are good I guess but its weird when that kinda thing happens when you have the midnight heir as an example of anotehr characterizationXD what annoyed me the most of chain of thornes is how it almost felt a bit dismissive in a strange way?? like,the family tree,how there was a character going around making it and it was almost like a stand in for the fans who looked at the family tree and had expectations of how thigns would go,it felt like Cassandra was kinda making fun of such fans in a way and like its not our faulth you gave us concrete information adn then chagned your mind?!
Omg I’m so disappointed to hear the the Edwardian books aren’t that good, I’ve started rereading TMI and I was going to go on to them next (I’ve never read them before) because I just want more of the Victorian characters
@@rebeccabroy586 there’s definitely some mixed opinions in the fandom on whether TLH is good or not, so I would still check it out! I did really enjoy parts of the trilogy (especially the first two books), but i found that the third book really dragged on. It just needed to go through another round of editing, in my opinion. Also i didn’t like the main couple, so any time a scene was focusing on them, i was like BOOOO which made the books less enjoyable (since their story is like…one of the main plot points). But i think I’m in the minority of fans who didn’t like that ship. So I’d still give it a go cause you’ll probably still enjoy them!
im not a lil b**** ur a lil b****
at least I know how to have fun 🥰✨ (“you’re my sister” he said finally. “My sister my-)

Hey queen, please do a series on the Dark Artifices! Ate the whole Infernal Devices series you made and it’s my Roman Empire

Yessssss TID is the powerhouse of the cell
what if I reread the second part of TMI before going to TDA…. thinking outloud
