It’s an anything can happen gamble with the books, and I love it!īut this book was all about getting to know Alec and Magnus better and their relationship, it takes place before City of Fallen Angels, so if you want more context before reading this one, you can read the first three books in The Mortal Instruments series, though in my opinion it can be read as a stand-alone because they explain plenty in the story, so you won’t be wondering who is who.Īlthough is being a while since I was in the Shadow World pages, so when Malcolm appeared, I didn’t immediately make a connection to other books.
