this is what I did for the grisha-verse, watch the (first season) of show first, then read six of crows. that way you know the lore and you know what the characters look like them you can rewatch the show after reading the duology and it was have so much for meaning!!

There are also two sequels in the Grishaverse called Rule of Wolves and King of Scars. You need to read both the SOC books and Alina's story to understand them. They follow Nina, Zoya and some other characters two years after Crooked Kingdom. And then there is a little companion book with fairy tales from the Grishaverse.

[@HattyBee]

i literally just got the grishaverse books today and was wondering which to read first i love you for uploading this ❤

You explained the books so well😁🫶🏻

[@VicandWes]

I read the Shadowhunters chronicles for the first time using option B. I still haven’t read TDA. Now that the last book of TLH is out, I’m reading the books in chronological order: TID, TLH, TMI, TDA. I’m currently on Chain of Thorns and am loving reading the series this way ❤. Also just found out that Six of Crows is getting a third book!

[@shreyaraman.]

Me trying to explain the Shadowhunters world to my friend made me look like that meme with the guy explaining his conspiracy theory 💀

[@sunnykimreads]

NO BC THATS WHAT I FELT LIKE IN THIS VIDEO

[@bryannahbasil9442]

hey idk if anyone is thinking about starting the folk of the air (tfota) by holly black but here's a suggestion i have! holly has another faerie trilogy from the early 2000s called the modern faerie tales [tmft] (composed of tithe, valiant, and ironside) which she highly suggests reading before tfota. this is because there are characters in tmft that make cameos in tfota (and one of the characters, named roiben, has a significant role in twp and tqon). but similar to how sunny recommended reading soc before s&b, i think it's best to read tfota before tmft, bc tmft may turn you off from reading tfota (and bc tmft was published in the early 2000s, there's some stuff in there that'll give you the ick). also, holly has another standalone book called the darkest part of the forest (published in 2015) that is faerie centered, and i've heard ppl say online that the standalone is vaguely connected to tmft and tfota (and should be read between these series) but if you choose not to, you won't lose much. holly's suggested order is the modern faerie tales, the darkest part of the forest, then the folk of the air. do what that what you will

[@valeriafuentesp.2111]

do you know if the shadow and bone show has spoilers for books 2 and 3?? cause I haven't finished the books, but wanna watch the show without getting spoiled

[@manumatcha]

need an advise! which series should i read first? infernal devices or shadow & bone???

[@kaileychan478]

You’re making want to read Cassandra Clare

[@sunnykimreads]

SLAY

[@AB-rc8zv]

Can someone explain to me the kiss of deception/dance of thieves order and spoilers? Like can I read dance of thieves first without getting spoiled for the kiss of deception? Are there main spoilers about how it ends or who the main character ends up with? I want to read both the series, but right now I only own dance of thieves and I really want to read it but I don't wanna get spoiled. Should I wait until I get the original trilogy?

[@megansawvel]

I read the dance of thieves duology first and loved it! Understanding wise it’s easy to read. I also want to read kiss of deception and haven’t yet so I’m not sure about spoilers but I think you’re good on reading either one or both on their own!

[@AB-rc8zv]

@@megansawvel thank you so much for the advice💕can't wait to read it!

[@sunnykimreads]

I didn’t even know they were connected LOLLL

[@AB-rc8zv]

Ahahaha me neither, I found out watching cari can read's November wrap up, saying that it was the reason the start of dance of thieves was so confusing😅

[@em-zi4qx]

i kinda just wanna read the infernal devices and the last hours how confused do you think I will be if I skip the others?

[@mm5xo]

i don't think it'll be confusing... the last hours trilogy follows the main characters children from the infernal devices, and the infernal devices takes place before the other series in the shadow hunters world. so basically tid & tlh are connected but you won't be confused if u don't read anything else.

[@em-zi4qx]

@@mm5xo okay thank you!

[@AfternuneReads]

I've read most of the Cassandra clare books that's what I'd recommend they were definitely the best

[@anavidreader277]

Where does the novella fit into the secret Shanghai world? Thankssss 💜

[@iimelodyxh]

The last violent call you read after our violent ends and before foul lady fortune
