The Shadowhunter's Codex

Delve into the details of all things Shadowhunter with this illustrated guide to the knowledge and lore of the Shadowhunter world. Since the thirteenth century, the Shadowhunter’s Codex has been the one and only manual for Shadowhunters looking to brush up on their demon languages, learn proper stele use, and discover just what exactly a pyxis is. Featured in both The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices, this guide is a necessity for any young Nephilim on their journey to becoming a Shadowhunter. Beautifully illustrated, the Codex contains images of the famous Shadowhunter homeland of Idris, as well as depictions of demons and other Downworlders. But this isn’t just any copy of The Shadowhunter’s Codex. It’s Clary’s copy, and as an artist herself, she’s sketched pictures of her friends and family in the book, and scrawled helpful advice in the margins. Of course, she couldn’t exactly stop Jace or Simon from adding their thoughts either. Part encyclopedia, part history, part training manual—complete with commentary from Shadowhunters who have seen it all—this beautiful guide is a perfect supplement to the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

I'm not *actually* finished with this, but I don't think I'll be picking it up again until TDA comes out and I don't want it sitting on my currently reading shelf. So yeah.

Cassandra Clare And Joshua Lewis

Somewhat reminiscent of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them from the Harry Potter franchise. Now I know there has been a lot of hate towards Cassie for "copying Harry Potter" and all that, but jeez. I'm neural okay? There are quite a lot of similarities I guess, by I totally enjoy reading Cassandra Clare.

I have always wondered about the Codex. Awesome job.

Ohhhh how I loved t and enjoyed this.
I learned so much about the shadow world and everything in it, and I am glad I have this book here with me if I ever come across something in Cassie’s books that I need to understand better.

I enjoyed the beautiful art on these pages, and the notes from Clary, Jace and Simon made for an amusing read.

I didn’t find EVERYTHING that interesting, but with a book like this, I guess that is impossible. I enjoyed the part about the Downworlders the most!

I loved it, and I really want to accend now thank you.

Quite enjoyable and fun to read. Not really anything new but I liked it.

Una bella aggiunta al mondo di Shadowhunters.
è stato molto interessante leggere le varie informazioni spiegate tutte insieme, e non sparse come nei libri, per avere una idea più chiara del mondo. I commenti di Simon, Jace e Clary sono molto divertenti, e i disegni molto belli

Overall feeling: Boring. I did read some interesting things about the Shadowhunters world, but it just couldn't grip me for more then 10 pages at a time. It just seems like unnecessary knowledge to me even though I'm a pretty big fan of the main series.

3.5 stars

Some sections were reeeeeally interesting, while others, I have to admit, I skimmed a bit because, yeah...

I also expected more notes from Jace, Clary and Simon. Though the ones we get in this, plus the extra pages they seem to leave in the Codex, are great and some even made me laugh out loud.

Il libro che ogni fan della saga dovrebbe avere nella propria libreria! :)
Non dice niente che già non sappiamo, insomma dopo 9 libri sugli Shadowhunter dovremmo essere praticamente dei tuttologi in materia, però alcune parti sono davvero molto interessanti ed i disegni sono stupendi *_*.
Un buon motivo per averlo? Le note di Clary, Jace e Simon e si anche la personalissima introduzione di Magnus (fa morire dal ridere!).
16€ ben spesi ;D
