Cassandra Clare Shadowhunter Books: Recommended Reading Orders

You’ve probably picked up a shadowhunter book to finally read or you have started the series already and don’t know how to start, where to start from, or how to continue.

Then you are in the right place.

There are many books in the shadowhunter series and various ways to read them.

I started reading the book in 2016 so I have just read in publication order and waited for the next book to be released. However, there are various ways to read them they include: 

Below I have listed the ways you can read them based on four different ways.

Publication order

You can read the Cassandra Clare books in order of how they were published. This is the order I read the series in. I read them as they were released. This is also a good way to read the series. The only issue is are you willing to stop reading the mortal instruments to pick up clockwork angel and go back to the mortal instruments series?

Honestly whatever way you read the books is okay. I read it this way because it was what I had access to at the moment and I still read in publication order as other books are being released.

Series

Another way is to read the Cassandra Clare shadowhunter books in order of series so you read and complete a series before moving to the next one. I have listed the series in order of publication below.

Chronologically

Preference

Finally, another way you can read the shadowhunter books is in the order recommended by Cassandra Clare herself.

Whatever way you read the books it is okay as long as you manage to avoid the spoilers and have a good time reading it. These books are one of the best books I have read.

It is a total journey, and if you look beyond all its imperfections you’ll have a good time.

The books have amazing characters. And maybe you’ll find yourself in one or more of these characters.
