Updated: How To Read the Shadowhunter Chronicles + Mini Review: Chain of Gold

On By whitreadslitIn Books3 Comments

Hello everyone! Back in December 2018, I wrote the post this one is based off of, explaining how to read The Shadowhunter Chronicles by Cassandra Clare. This is an amazing series, full of fascinating world-building and unforgettable characters. However, if you have never read them before, it is a bit daunting and can be confusing figuring out where to start. While all of the books are in the same world, they are broken down into several different series, all of which build off of each other.

Since my last post, there have been some more books added to the series, so I thought I would post an updated list. I also just finished reading the most recent addition to the world, Chain of Gold, so I will be giving you a mini review of that book (as well as a suggestion on what to read before it, if you are only interested in reading the newest book).
