From Izzy watching Alec discover who he is, to me crying even more over Max, to Jace being Jace even at a young age, to Lily Chen actually making me laugh out loud, to me screaming at seeing Raphael confirming that he is ace, I love all of this. Okay, I know this brief review is all over the place, but this was such an unexpected treat and I was smiling while reading this entire story. But I think my sappy self cried hardest over two initials. Also, all that talk of parabatai bonds? Lord, help us all. Also, I think it was really smart for Cassie Clare to show us a “good” side of Robert Lightwood, especially after finishing Lord of Shadows. Damn, my emotions are all over the place, because seeing Raphael alone makes me weep. But this story takes place in 2000, and I will be honest with you all, I sure in the hell wasn’t expecting a story about how Jace came to join the Lightwood family. It is official, The New York City Shadow Market is the coolest one we’ve seen so far? Abandoned theater? Ahhh, the aesthetics. “Every world contains other worlds within it.” I am going to break down each short story with my thoughts, opinions, and individual star rating! I would highly recommend that you are caught up with Queen of Air and Darkness and everything previously published, before reading this anthology and before reading this review! Spoilers ahead! Please use caution! I read the first eight stories in 2018, but I just finished off the last two since the collection is now out in the world! And I truly recommend this anthology to any and every Shadowhunter fan.

And, again, you get to see glimpses of all the different generations of Shadowhunters in all of the different time periods.

I loved this, friends.Īnd this bind-up is all about Brother Zachariah, former Silent brother, and all the different shadow markets through the ages and through our world.

Each story is so different, so unique, and really transcends all time periods, all generations, and all of my expectations. Ghost of the Shadow Market is truly my favorite anthology set in the Shadowhunter universe, so far.
