One of our favorite parts of writing Navigating the Shadow World, our book about Cassandra Clare's bestselling Shadowhunter Chronicles series, was revisiting some beloved poems, plays, and works of fiction, and being introduced to many more thanks to the rich literary landscape that Cassandra Clare has created.
Here we present a curated selection of pieces that are quoted from in the first book in the Mortal Instruments series, City of Bones, with the passage used by Clare highlighted in bold for you.
In this only-get-it-here Wattpad edition of our Shadow World Book Club: Companion Readings to The Mortal Instruments, we've added in the context we provide in our book Navigating the Shadow World about where these bits of poems, essays, novels, and plays come from, and how they might apply to City of Bones. (Looking for more info on our book on TMI and TID? Visit: http://livspencer.com/shadow-world/)
Perhaps, as you read through these great works of literature in English, you’ll be inspired to start your own collection of evocative quotations, like Cassie was when she read these works and saw parallels to the characters and world she was creating. Or maybe you’ll simply memorize them all like Will!
Enjoy!
