Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy - Cassandra Clare, Sarah Rees Brennan, Maureen Johnson, Robin Wasserman

Book: Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy
Authors: Cassandra Clare, Sarah Rees Brennan, Maureen Johnson, Robin Wasserman
Releasedate: 17th of Februari, 2015 (first story) / 15th of November 2016 (print edition)

Since I've read the Mortal Instruments and the Dark Artifices, I was happy to read this one, because it
filled in so many gaps I experienced while reading the Dark Artifices. It follows the story of Simon Lewis (Simoooooon <3) after the Mortal Instruments when he departs for the Shadowhunter Academy. In his quest to find himself after all the events that happened.

I really liked this book, because I like Simon, lol. But seriously. It was cool to read what happens there and to also read some more history of the Shadowhunters. We even visit some old friends and stories from a different era and I love that. The more I read, the more I know of the families that transpired in the Shadowhunter World and that is pretty cool. 

To be honest, the image I have from Simon is pretty much based on the Simon from the Netflix series, because that was exactly how I pictured him, so I even got a bigger crush on him. He's such a nerd and his world is jampacked with references that are also in my world. He would've been the perfect nerd for me, weren't it that I already have my perfect nerd at home, lol. 

And to be fair, I was a bit sad and shocked when I finished the book, but what happens is part of that world and it can happen. I don't want to spoil it for people who still need to read it, but it was pretty heavy at the end of the book. 

And I got the latest book, The Red Scrolls of Magic in the Eldest Curses serie (book 1) on the mat this week, so I know what I'm gonna read next!
