A Reading Order

There are so many different ways to read all the books that encompass the Shadowhunter Chronicles Universe.  You can read them in the order that they were published.  You can read them by series.  Or you can read them chronologically, which would have you skipping around through The Bane Chronicles short stories.  Here is the way that I would recommend reading the novels that create the Shadow World:

The Mortal Instruments

1. City of Bones
2. City of Ashes
3. City of Glass

The Infernal Devices

1. Clockwork Angel
2. Clockwork Prince
3. Clockwork Princess

The Mortal Instruments

1. City of Fallen Angels
2. City of Lost Souls
3. City of Heavenly Fire
