*You can leave the novellas bind ups for when you’ll be done with all the novels. Ghosts of the Shadow Market (novellas around different Shadowhunter markets through history)*.The Tales of the Shadowhunter Academy (novellas around the Shadowhunter Academy through history)*.The Red Scrolls of Magic (book 1 in The Eldest Curses trilogy).The Bane Chronicles (novellas about Magnus Bane through history)*.The Mortal Instruments (both trilogies).Chain of Gold (book 1 in The Last Hours trilogy).I wouldn’t recommend it because many books aren’t out yet if you want to follow that order, which may make it messy. With this order you read the book as one big story, therefor you start with the books set in the past, such as The Infernal Devices trilogy which happens in the 19th century. So, in honor of Chain of Gold being finally released today, here are all the ways to read the Shadowhunter Chronicles!

I once filmed a video about it but I thought it could help more people if it was written.

Over the years a lot of people have told me they wanted to start this huge series but there were too many series inside of it, and therefor they didn’t know where to start. The Mortal Instruments series isn’t necessarily my favourite but The Infernal Devices and The Dark Artifices ones are, so I have a lot of love for this world and all it brought me. If you don’t know, I am a huge Shadowhunter fan and have been for a huge part of my life.
