The New
York Times and USA TODAY bestselling collection of short stories
chronicling the adventures of Simon Lewis as he trains to become a Shadowhunter
is now available in print for the first time with ten brand-new comic
illustrations!
Simon Lewis has been a human and a
vampire, and now he is becoming a Shadowhunter. The events of City of Heavenly
Fire left him stripped of his memories, and Simon isn’t sure who he is anymore.
So when the Shadowhunter Academy reopens, Simon throws himself into this new world
of demon-hunting, determined to find himself again. Whomever this new Simon
might be.
But the Academy is a Shadowhunter
institution, which means it has some problems. Like the fact that
non-Shadowhunter students have to live in the basement. At least Simon’s
trained in weaponry—even if it’s only from hours of playing D&D.
Join Simon on his journey to become
a Shadowhunter, and learn about the Academy’s illustrious history along the
way, through guest lecturers such as Jace Herondale, Tessa Gray, and Magnus
Bane. Written by Cassandra Clare, Sarah Rees Brennan, Maureen Johnson, and
Robin Wasserman, these moving and hilarious short stories are perfect for the
fan who just can’t get enough of the Shadowhunters.
My Thoughts
I didn’t buy the novella ebook versions of these stories,
simply because I knew a bind-up of all of them was coming out. Also, the only
reason I’m excited for this bind-up is because of MALEC and what I’ve heard
happens to them. I’m not a fan of Simon, so his viewpoints, along with the
Shadowhunter history that’s going to play a part in this book, doesn’t really
interest me.
What book are you waiting for this Wednesday?
