The movie was really bad imo, if I hadn't known the story before I watched it, I wouldn't even know what's going on.
But I love the show. I read the books for Clary and Jace and watch the show for Malec, Izzy and Raphael.

I didn't like Jace and Clary in the show. ALTHOUGH MALEC IN THE SHOW WAS EVERYTHING.

I know!! Goshhh, I miss these two, maybe I'll give it a re-read😉 As for The Infernal Devices, I loved that series very much too, and if you love Cassie Clare's writing, you should definitely check The Dark Artifices series out! Tbh, The Dark Artifices is my favourite out of all of the shadowhunter books!

Yesss I have only read the first three books of the series. I still have to read every other book by Cassie Clare *sighs*

Maryam Rz. I'd invite you to join me but I try to escape BRs as much as I can. If you're in for reading one book a day, then by all means please do join me.

Maryam Rz. Haha don't be sorry. I don't think that's the case (you've never BRed with me, I'm told I've been the best BR partner ppl have had 😎) but I totes get it.
