Loved the insight into the creation and muse behind the series and characters and the other perspectives given by authors and reviewers. (0 more)
A lot of the pronunciation (in the audio book version) wasn't correct and was a bit off putting. (0 more)
Good accompaniment to the series
Overall I think this is a great accompaniment to the shadowhunters series. It gives a view from the author on how she came to create and develop the series and its characters. The essays and reviews given by various authors provides an interesting view on how they perceived certain character behaviours, attributes or even just topics covered in the books.

In the audio book version however, a lot of words and names were (from my experiences and explanations within the series - from the books, film or show) are incorrect and that's a personal grate of mine so I would recommend only the physical copy if anyone else is slightly annoyed by things like this.

This review covers the audio book version.

My first audio book with sound effects! That was exciting. The numerous fist fights, gunfire exchanges, and characters walking through doors really came to life as I listened to this. The music between chapters was pretty fun too.

Unfortunately, the voice acting (and some of the writing itself) struck me as terribly racist and offensive. The characters all fit into neat little stereotypes. There's nothing deep or challenging about any aspect of the story. All that said, it was kind of fun to listen to and laugh at, much as Kurt Reed (not sure if it's just this story or all L. Ron Hubbard stuff, but if you hear a character's first name, expect the last name to be dropped as well) laughs off basically everything that goes wrong. That might be the only truly positive thing I took away from it. Heroes laugh in the face of adversity. Cool. I'll keep that in mind.
