Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 7 Up—This graphic novel version of the first volume in Clare's "Mortal Instruments" series remains true to the spirit of the original story about a teenage girl who discovers a fantastic world that's invisible to most humans. Clary is out at a club one night when she notices a strange man and woman nearby. She follows them and stumbles upon an ambush. When she cries out to stop the attack, everyone is surprised that she can see them. Clary discovers that creatures such as demons, vampires, angels, and fairies exist and that they live alongside humans, who usually can't see them. She also learns that she and her mother are inextricably linked to this fantastic world, which means that they are both in danger. Jean's artistic style makes the characters look angular and ethereal, like manga with a touch of the TV series Æon Flux, and is very well suited to the absorbing narrative. VERDICT Fans of "The Mortal Instruments" (the book, film, and TV versions) will appreciate this latest interpretation of these characters, but newcomers will also enjoy it.—Andrea Lipinski, New York Public Library

About the Author

Cassandra Clare vaulted onto the publishing scene with her first YA novel, City of Bones, and has published three other bestselling novels in The Mortal Instruments series. First published in August of 2010, Clockwork Angel marked the first installment of Cassandra's The Infernal Devices trilogy and debuted at #1 on the New York Times list.

Cassandra Jean is a freelance illustrator and comic artist who spends her days toiling with a pen in her hand, and her faithful dog sleeping at her feet. The radio is always on and Gatorade is a constant source of power!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Read for any Shadowhunters fans!
Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2020

I remember the first time I picked up a Shadowhunters novel, years ago. I instantly fell in love with the universe and my love for it has only gotten stronger through multiple series and adaptations. I've had the graphic novels on my TBR for ages. I don't know why it took me so long to actually pick them up. While it's a cute adaption, that all Shadowhunters fans can enjoy, I'm not sure you would understand the plot if you weren't already a fan. Jace's sarcasm doesn't come across very well. A bit of the charm is missing. I also wish it was in color. But I'm happy to have read it. I plan to continue this series. And I'm one of the fans who hope Cassie never stops writing these books.

A fantastic translation into the graphic novel format. The story flows well and the artistry is whimsy and beautiful, offering a more fitting interpretation of the book characters than the terrible television series.

I bought this book to donate to my school library. There is a large collection of of graphic novels suitable for 8th and 9th graders. We have all the Shadowhunter novels on the shelf but the library media specialist didn't know about the graphic novels. They were so excited to receive all 5 that have been published so far.

Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2022

Let me start by saying that I love this series as well as the art of Cassandra Jean. My main issue though is that so much is cut from the story to fit this medium that people who are new to the series may get confused, lost or overwhelmed. If you've read the books, this is a fun way to relive some of the more important scenes and dialogues. I don't think I'd recommend this to someone who isn't already familiar with the plot, though.

I have been craving Cassandra Clare lately, I always feel like this towards the holidays but I've also very little down time at the moment.
When I came across this comic I thought, 'what better way to get through the craving?'
I hadn't read a comic in black and white before this, at the start I was a bit iffy on it because my usual comic reads are very detailed and coloured but this actually gripped me more. I got swept away into the Shadow World again and I cannot wait to continue this series of comics.

Me daba miedo que llegase con los bordes doblados pero llegó en perfecto estado. Los dibujos de Cassandra Jean son preciosos, este libro no puede faltar en tu estanteria! Solo es la mitad del primer libro Ciudad de Hueso, la segunda parte es el volumen dos, es decir, los libros se dividen en dos volumenes.

Il prodotto è stupendo, ovviamente non racconta di tutti quanti gli eventi accaduti nel libro, perché sarebbe troppo complicato ed estenuante disegnare ogni singola scena, ma di quelli più importanti, facendo però in modo che la storia rimanga comunque scorrevole e piacevole a chi ha amato la saga come me.
