Hello everyone! I’m trying to create a ranking of the strongest Shadowhunters in TSC. If you had to choose, where would you place the different characters? Who do you think is the most powerful and why? Let’s discuss it together in the comments! I’d love to hear your opinions and see the different rankings that might emerge
I just finished the Clockwork Angel audiobook (sooo much better than TMI) and now I’m o. Clockwork Prince. I’ve been listening to them all on audio and I don’t know if I can continue the audio for Clockwork Prince since they changed the narrator for Tessa!!! I listened to 15 hours of her story from “her” voice aka the audiobook narrator but in the second book she has a completely different voice actor! Idk if I’m just being dramatic but it’s driving me crazy. Did anyone else notice this? I might have to physically read this one
Okay, so I’m currently going through a TLH renaissance (honestly love the series for so many different reasons), and whenever I listen to Good Luck Babe, I always think of Anna and Ari. I saw this on Twitter and just thought it was so perfect!!

Hi everyone,
This may be a silly question but I haven't read her books in a long time but I wanna get back into reading her books. I'm more into the 'modern' versions of the shadowhunters. I've read the mortal instruments, lady midnight and red scrolls. But I feel like I'm missing a series that takes place in modern day. So, my question is, is there another series that takes place in modern day? I might be thinking of something else but I just can't place it and when I Google I just get more confused lol.
I saw it in another fandom group and just had to share it here...
Simon cheating on Izzy was the most ridiculous idea and left such a bad taste in my mounth, especially since she ends up forgiving and marrying him. IMO Cassandra wanted the fourth book to develop other characters other than Jace and Clary, leave them a bit on the background until the finale and she couldn't grasp anything worth it. Literally, Izzy could've taken sometime processing Max's death, maybe trainning harder and Simon could've helped her with that, maybe more vampire trouble, ANYTHING, but noooo, he had to be a cheater.
Also, Maia can't catch a break: from Simon to Kyle... suffering black woman trope. I didn't like that either.
Hi everyone, Working on an OC at the moment and saw something about a role playing website called Worldofnephilim, but it looks like it's shut down... is there anything similar? I'd love to try something like that
Are there any completed or in progress fanfics for the TMI books that you guys think/thought were really good? I’m having trouble finding any that are still being updated or more than one chapter.
I know Will Tudor is the actor who plays Sebastian but in the scenes where both Sebastians appear, which actor played the real Sebastian? If that was Will then who was the impostor? I don't think he alone can handle both roles at the same time...
Hi I'm looking for a fic where Alec either had run away or was exiled, i think he spent some time just hopping trains and even joined a few mundanes he met while on the run. At some point he got taken in by an older mundane couple who had a shop he helped at sometimes, i think they were Italians but I'm not sure.He worked as a bouncers at a club and one day walked into a studio where an assistant mistook him for the model, he started working there too as a model.on his way home he walked by a prostitute he befriended and started walking home to keep her safe, he eventually started giving her and her colleagues self defence lessons. I know he found baby warlock max and when looking for downworlders to find help but he ended up adopting him. He befriended the downworlders who spent a lot of their time in his apartment. Eventually his family, Izzy and the others found him and he met magnus. Any help finding it is appreciated.
Spoilers!!
I loveeeed seeing Jace as a kid in Ghosts of the Shadow market but I would’ve liked to see Jem recognize Jaces eyes as similar to James’ even if he didn’t connect the two as related I feel like seeing someone with golden eyes should’ve reminded him of James and his eyes. Anyone else feel this?
Since I watched Outer Banks I can’t imagine anyone other than Madelyn Cline as Emma Carstairs. In my opinion, she’s perfect and would absolutely crush the role. Like, every time I see her I can’t help but think of Emma Carstairs. What do you think? Can you see her in the role?
As someone who read the books 10 years ago and couldn't watch the series because I couldn't isolate it from the books, I'm finally watching it now.
S03E02 Can someone explain why Lilith specifically needs people who are virtuous?
Not sure if this is TMI knowledge or just general demon knowledge.
Is there a discord for the book fandom?
(EDITED TO ADD THAT THIS IS A LITTLE SPOILER-Y FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN’T WATCHED THE SHOW) And whew. I was around when they first started filming and followed the cast and watched all their lives and stuff and even knowing about all the changes they were making, I was still super excited. I think maybe I had watched the first episode, way back when it first came out, but I must have stopped after that because I don’t remember anything else. I’m only on EP 4, maybe 5, and I already have a slewwww of complaints and since I have no one to share them with, I am sharing with y’all
WHY are they trying to make it so… sexy? Izzy, I suppose I can get. She was always kind of written that way. But Jace? CLARY? That look she makes when she’s flirty or when Jace stands too close to her, makes me want to scream a little bit.
Speaking of Clary, I am by not jiving at all with this version of her at all. Book Clary would have never gotten on that motorcycle and flirted with that man! She would never respond to Jace the way she is in the show, either! And for the love of all that is holy, her reaction to Simon getting taken by Raphael??? WHAT! She just goes with them back to the institute like it’s nothing?? And she’s so CALM. No tears, no screaming about getting Simon back, NOTHING. And even their reunion after saving him sucked.
Running back to the institute also kind of messes up Jace’s characterization too. He’s supposed to be impulsive, always ready for a fight, always ready for some fun shadow hunting. Also, I don’t buy Dom as Jace at all. I know I lot of people didn’t like Jamie Campbell Power, but to me, that IS Jace. He had the air of arrogance and confidence around him that Dom’s Jace just doesn’t have. It could be the writing, because some of the dialogue is just… bad, but even when they pulled dialogue straight from the books, it just sounded cringe coming out of his mouth.
I am also NOT into them turning Hodge into this sexy fighter man. What were they even thinking with this one??? The curse on his neck when he tries talking about The Circle is so??
Things I do like (so far):
Izzy and Simon, I think, are some of the better actors on the show, and are able to fall into their characters really well. Valentine, too, though I may be biased because I liked his actor in Reign.
I kind of like the Luke/police station thing that’s going on. Haven’t seen much of it but I think that’s a fun twist.
Okay I’m done for now. Will be back at some point with another post as I continue to watch. Thanks for reading!
I genuinely liked his actor and the character, and I wish there wasn't a sinister background to him.
I was SO frustrated when the original Sebastian was meters away from Aline and died.
Hey I need some help on Amazon there are multiple sets of the mortal instruments and one is $40 but has double the pages even though both are complete sets of the book and the $20 one has the codex with it so 7 books yet has half the pages so can someone please explain
Also the infernal devices saw two sets and one had almost 120 extra pages
And the short story set one set cost $25 and another $35 idk if their is a difference between them or not
Do you know that scene when Jace and Clary ride that motorbike and how Jace is happy it actually flies. How would it not.. It was on top of a building!? How did they get it up there if it didn't fly. Am I missing something? Also if anyone has ready said this sorry I was trying to look but nothing came up
Hello ShadowHunters subreddit
Could you suggest a good gift idea that I want to give to my friend? She is a huge shadow hunters fan (will Harondale in particular). She will be turning 25 soon. I was thinking of those hand-cranking musical boxes but unfortunately, I am not very familiar with anything related to shadow hunters. Any suggestions will be highly appreciated yall!
To mods: Sorry If my flair is incorrect, I didn't know which one to use
I’m on City of Lost Souls right now and then I’ll be reading Clockwork Princess.
I’ve been reading all the books in the order they came out. Technically The Shadowhunter’s Codex came out before City of Heavenly Fire, so I was thinking about reading it before I got to the last TMI book.
If I read it before City of Heavenly Fire, would it spoil anything?
Since Sebastian has Lilith’s blood and she basically considered him her “child,” Ash also has Lilith’s blood and thus, her grandchild. I believe that Ash is “the Last Prince of Hell” that is referenced in the title of TWP #2. This could be because Asmodeus refers to Lilith as the “princess” of Hell. I’m sure we will see her again, probably taking some interest in Ash and dubbing him as “the last prince of Hell” Similarly, Kit is probably “the Last King of Faerie” given that he is both Seelie and Unseelie and has a claim to the throne of ALL of Faerie, not just one specific court like Kieran and Ash. So I guess the question remains, who is the Last Shadowhunter? My guess is that it is Janus, since most theorize he will sacrifice himself to save the Shadow world. Alternatively, there is a chance that all three titles (last king of faerie, last prince of Hell, and last shadowhunter) refer to the same character similar to how Lady Midnight and Queen of Air and Darkness were both titles for Annabel Blackthorn.
Bonus: the title of The Wicked Powers comes from the children’s rhyme “…and bronze to summon the wicked powers.” It is important to note that Lilith’s magic is bronze…
So I’m rereading TID, and I just came across a passage in chapter 9 of Clockwork Prince where it’s specifically mentioned that Will is 6 feet. However, in the Shadowhunter Wiki, his height is listed as 5’10”, with the source of that being a tumblr comment by Cassandra Clare. Did anyone else notice this? And I’m curious if there are any other inconsistencies. Not complaining though, still love it <3
Is it just me, or would anyone else like a book entirely from Sebastian’s point of view, obviously in the scenes where he was present? I know that, compared to other characters, his perspective might seem more biased, but guys, I would really love to see everything from his point of view. I know some of you will probably reply with things like: “We already know what he thinks, he’s a psychopathic murderer, so what else would we expect?” But honestly, I think Sebastian’s character is much more complex than that, and that’s exactly why it would be interesting to explore his point of view. Understanding what’s going through his mind is difficult, and I think that makes him even more fascinating. I would be absolutely thrilled (even though I know it will never happen) if Cassandra Clare decided to write a book from his perspective, along with his childhood and how he grew up. It would be amazing to see those hidden facets of his character, those vulnerabilities that often don’t come through. It’s true that it’s hard to imagine Sebastian as vulnerable but I think there are hints of it in the scene where Jonathan asks Valentine where his mother was and says “Can you fix me?” That shows how fragile he really was. I think exploring this side of him would be really interesting. Also, we know so little about his childhood with Valentine. We’re only told certain things, but we don’t really know much apart from those partial details. It would be great to see how Sebastian experiences his childhood emotionally, how he perceives it because I believe many of his actions are influenced by what he lived through during that time. I think exploring that part of his life would give us a more complete understanding of who he really is. He’s such an unexplored character, and I’m so sorry, because he’s my favorite character. I know this thought may seem silly and pointless and it probably won’t lead anywhere, but I wanted to share it with you. I hope it didn’t disturb you
