great for YA

Narrator was good. Main character was very childish, more childish than all the 17 year olds I know! Story has promise though and I'm gonna attempt the next book.

The story is interesting enough...

The narrator is alright, not great, definitely not the only suitable one, she sounds like she is acting in a high school play, very dramatic. She have limited voices available for different characters. The story is for very young adults, kids refusing to admit that they're kids, wanting to be the hero instead of seeking guidance from actual adults.

I really wanted to like it, but didn’t.

This was one of the first times in a book turned book-turned-movie situation where I preferred the movie and tv series. The book is about a 15/16 year old whereas the tv series was when clary turned 18. I liked the movie and tv series, and really wanted to like this book, but I found myself wanting the book to be shorter so I could move on to something else.

A few reviews spoke about the characters being juvenile, and unfortunately this was the case. It is not a young adult book, but rather a teenager book.

I also found the book lacking the works building and intrigue that more current books include. However it could also have something to do with the narrator. I found the narrator quite bland and she didn’t change her voice to different characters. I can see there is a different narrator for the second book which was a good call but I just don’t think I can persist with the series.

One of the best series of read/listened

This series is one of my favourites to reread and listen to.

This book was my first audible experience and I ended up listening to the whole series within my first month. Work, home, driving - I was hooked.

Shadow hunters is my go to series when I cannot decide what to listen to next and it’s enjoyable every time you dive back into the world this series has created.

If you have seen the movie or Netflix series then this book series is a must read as you are seriously missing out (but I still love both the movie and show for their interpretations).

Great story

I love these books - narrator was ok, not varied enough with her different voices for the characters. Enjoyed listening though.

Love the book

I’ve always liked these books, I do find the reader slightly difficult to determine which character is talking as her voice sounds very similar with each character. Other then that I really enjoyed it :)
