In this video I’m doing a totally blind (and as spoiler-free as humanly possible) check-in on The Shadowhunter Chronicles—specifically my experience reading The Mortal Instruments books 1–3: City of Bones, City of Ashes, and City of Glass. I walk you through the readalong setup and reading order stuff up front, then I give my real-time reactions as I move through each book. This is very much me trying to answer the question: do these hold up, or is this a nostalgia trap waiting to bonk me on the head? I talk about what’s working for me (the bingeability, the drama, the “I need to know what happens next” energy) and what I’m side-eyeing as a modern reader, especially around early-series vibes and the way the story reveals info. I also share where my excitement spikes, what made me keep turning pages, and my overall feelings after finishing City of Glass. And yes—there’s a clearly marked spoiler section at the end if you want the full chaotic thoughts with details.
