The Shadowhunters Codex By Cassandra Clare
The Clave is pleased to announce the newest edition of the Nephilim’s oldest and most famous training manual: the Shadowhunter’s Codex. Since the thirteenth century, the Codex has been the young Shadowhunter’s best friend. When you’re being swarmed by demons it can be easy to forget the finer points of obscure demon languages or the fastest way to stop an attack of Raum demons. With the Codex by your side, you never have to worry.
Now in its twenty-seventh edition, the Codex covers it all: the history and the laws of our world; how to identify, interact with, and if necessary, kill that world’s many colorful denizens; which end of the stele is the end you write with. No more will your attempt to fight off rogue vampires and warlocks be slowed by the need to answer endless questions from your new recruits: What is a Pyxis? Why don’t we use guns? If I can’t see a warlock’s mark, is there a polite way to ask him where it is? Where do we get all our holy water? Geography, History, Magic, and Zoology textbook all rolled into one, the Codex is here to help new Shadowhunters navigate the beautiful, often brutal world that we inhabit.
Do not let it be said that the Clave is outdated or, as the younger Shadowhunters say, “uncool”: this new edition of the Codex will be available not only in the usual magically-sealed demonskin binding, but also in a smart, modern edition using all of today’s most exciting printing techniques, including such new features as a sturdy clothbound cover, a protective dust jacket, and information about title, author, publisher, and so on conveniently available right on the cover. You’ll be pleased to know that it fits neatly into most satchels, and unlike previous editions, it rarely sets off alarm wards.
The old woodcuts and engravings have been replaced as well: instead, you’ll find lavish modern illustrations by some of the brightest luminaries of the fantastic. Creatures, weapons, people, and places have been carefully and accurately rendered by the likes of Rebecca Guay, Charles Vess, Jim Nelson, Theo Black, Elisabeth Alba, and Cassandra Jean. Chapters are beautifully introduced by the drawings of Michael Kaluta, and along with our condensation of the classic 2,450-page tome, A History of the Nephilim, you will find a selection of the best of the lovely illustrations of that volume by John Dollar.
This edition of the Codex will be available in Institute libraries and what mundanes sometimes call “book stores” in October 2013. The Shadowhunters Codex

YESSSS! *pumps fist in triumph* I can now have a reference for when I am bored and have a pen-knife and want to carve some runes into my skin for funsies!!! English Es un libro hermoso, lleno de imágenes increíbles y con el que aprendes todo acerca del mundo de los cazadores de sombras.
Las anotaciones de Clary, Jace y Simon me encantaron y me hicieron reír muchísimo.
Estoy lista para ascender. English I was scrolling through my to read list when I saw The Shadowhunters' Codex's cover. Why was I not informed that there was a cover and a release date?? September 2013!?!?! That's so far away and I have so little patience. English The Codex is the Codex itself, a textbook for new Shadowhunters, and also notes and art added in by Clary, commenting and updating things. (For one thing, the Codex’s official take on things is often not quite the same as what Clary knows to be true. The facts it claims about warlocks alone are outrageously incorrect!)
We've heard this before.
We've heard this shit before.
God damn it Clare. STOP. JUST STOP.
This will never be Hogwarts A History (aka the Encyclopedia that JK may hopefully someday write but maybe never will).
This will also never be:
1) Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (which also employed the whole 'extra doodles and notes from the main characters thing')
2) Quidditch Through the Ages
3) The Tales of Beedle the Bard
Which were also actual books from the series that were turned into real books that fans could buy.
MUST YOU STEAL ALL THE IDEAS? EVEN ALL OF THEM?
At least when JK Rowling wrote her supplements she had the decency to donate the money to charity. I wouldn't be surprised if Clare pocketed the proceeds from what is clearly a pathetic cash grab.
Clare needs to let this delusions of grandeur thing GO. She will never be Rowling. Her work is not extensive or deep or sophisticated or complicated enough to warrant both a book of critical essays and a comprehensive supplementary guide devoted to them. Her books consist of plot lines stolen from better books and lots of make out scenes, and Jace dying but then being brought back to life seven hundred times.
STAWP THIS MADNESS.
God I miss the Harry Potter days.
Haters come at me.
English 3.5 stars. A rundown of everything you could possibly need to know about the Shadowhunter world with some funny commentary. It was a good refresher as I prepare to read the entire works. English
I don't care if some people think that this book is annoying or unnecessary, I'm excited. I'm going to add it to my Shadowhunter collection and I'm going to love reading it, too.

Okay, I’m not going to write up a big review for this because honestly? I was a little bored while reading this and I kept forcing myself to pick it up! I did think the illustrations were absolutely beautiful! And I loved the addition of the scribbles and doodles in the margins, so we can see what some of our beloved characters thought while reading this book that is supposed to be an actual book in the Shadowhunter world. But, sadly, it reads like a textbook. But I am happy I read it, because I do think it not only expanded my knowledge of the world, but a few parts were actually interesting. But I for sure think you do not *need* to read this by any means whatsoever.
Blog | Instagram | Twitter | Tumblr | Youtube | Twitch English Yes. Yes!!! YESS!!!!
Best thing ever. Can't wait. I love the Mortal Instruments. I love the Infernal Devices. I can't wait for the Dark Artifices. I can't wait for the Bane Chronicles. And now I can't wait for this!!!
English I feel sorry for everyone who dislike the idea of Cassandra Clare writing another series about shadowhunters. I think the synopsis explain the book itself, THIS Shadowhunters Codex is for only only ONLY for the fandom of the mortal instruments (tmi) and the infernal devices (tid), and if you have a problem with that just don't buy this book okay? THIS book has mentioned in clockwork angel with Tessa's arrival at the institute (spoiler but not really) and Will gave her The Shadowhunters Codex to gave her a chance to know Shadow World better by reading this book.
For the another series that Cassandra Clare will write at the future, she write the novels just for people who likes reading about shadowhunters. So stfu, i love the world that Cassandra's built and i want MORE because after i read tmi/tid, EVERY books I'm about to read just put me down
Oh and i hope this book is an illustration, so there will be photos and other interesting things, and the cover's please in hologram or something exciting. Hoping for this codex comes out as real as we imagine on the series English Can i just say something to all of you who are complaining out there?!
If you don't like Cassie's work then feel free not to read them! Because a lot of us are very interested in her work and she worked very hard to create this amazing world and she has the rights to create as many novels about it as she wants because she created them all herself.
Cassandra's books mean the world to me and i would love to thank her everyday for luring me into the adventure of my life with her books.
And to have a book like The Shaowhunters' Codex,makes me feel like one of the amazing characters and feel like I'm living in their world.
So please stop hating on her work when many such as myself think it is a masterpiece!
Very excited to read this book,really cannot wait!
