About this listen

Inside you'll listen to:

  • A cinematic tutorial on why the best friend (Simon) always loses out to the bad boy (Jace)
  • The benefits (no, really!) of incest...at least in literature
  • What we can read between the lines of Alec and Magnus’ European vacation
  • The importance of friendship, art, humor, and rebellion

And more, from the virtues of Downworlders to the naughty side of Shadowhunting. Number-one New York Times best-selling author Cassandra Clare created the Mortal Instruments in 2004 with City of Bones (Simon & Schuster, 2007). Since then, the series has grown to five books, with a sixth due in 2014, and been joined by two spinoff trilogies and an upcoming film starring Jamie Campbell Power and Lily Collins.

Featuring stories by Holly Black, Kendare Blake, Gwenda Bond, Sarah Rees Brennan, Rachel Caine, Sarah Cross, Kami Garcia, Michelle Hodkin, Kelly Link, Kate Milford, Diana Peterfreund, Sara Ryan, Scott Tracey, and Robin Wasserman.

The book content wasn't quite what I was expecting but it was interesting. Possibly being pernickety but wasn't overly keen on some of the pronunciation but that's just how it is with audio books. Overall a good accompaniment for the series.

Unexpected but interesting

story is wonderful and I'm enjoying the larger series but on this occasion the narrator is pronouncing words significantly different to the rest of the story and I couldn't get past it. I would highly recommend the rest of the series and the physical book if anyone is interested.

couldn't get past the pronunciations

Absolute waste of a credit.. pronunciations were ridiculous and completely not what it could have been. Don’t waste your time.

What would have made Shadowhunters and Downworlders better?

I have totally enjoyed all Cassandra Clare's books of the Mortal Instruments and have all of them but this Shadow Hunters was not what i was expecting when i purchased it with one of my audible credits i feel rather cheated with it the whole book is like a documentary about how Cassandra put together the whole series of books of the Mortal Instruments I was looking forward to a follow up to the last book and now all i feel is disappointed with the Author and i fail to understand the need to write this book if i wanted to know more about ruins and tattoo's i would Google it

What was most disappointing about Cassandra Clare (editor)’s story?

I said it all above there was no need to do this book any one of her reader could have Googled the information if they had wanted to know certain things a waste of time and money and i feel disappointed by it

How could the performance have been better?

Cassandra did not have to waste her time writing it her time would have been much better spent writing another follow up to the Mortal Instruments which i truelly enjoyed every one of them

What character would you cut from Shadowhunters and Downworlders?

None

Any additional comments?
