interactions between lyney and lohen would be so amusing to watch. the way lohen probably is everything like lyney was supposed to be — fill himself up with joy while battling & all, being kinda lunatic (like dottore is). but for lyney himself it feels like obligation and duty to his family and the House, while lohen... he just is the psycho mf for the fun of it

The Shadowhunter-Books - Malec Reading Guide (Part 1)

If you have joined the Shadowhunter fandom late - like myself - you may have had the same issue as me. I watched the TV show first, fell in love with Magnus and Alec and then wanted to read about them in the books. But as Cassandra Clare had been quite busy in the years since she had published her first book from the 'The Mortal Instruments' series, there are so many books and stories now, that it had been quite confusing of where to start and what to read first especially when you want to focus on the Malec content in the beginning.

So while reading myself I started to create this little guide to give me some overview and idea what to read in what order. As I figured this might actually be helpful for others as well I wanted to share this here with you. I hope it will help and guide you through the books.

Please also check out this source that is immensely helpful, especially if you have questions about other mentioned characters: https://shadowhunters.fandom.com/wiki/The_Shadowhunters%27_Wiki
