So, I've seen the movie, and just recently started the TV show and the books.
I would like to discuss all 3 versions of the Mortal Instruments series as I read (and watch) them. Right now I'm on chapter 2 of the first book.
The movie was very fast paced. And apparently screwed a few things up near the end,or so I heard when I went looking to see if there was more to the story and if a second movie would come out. (which is why I downloaded the books but never got to them)
The TV series which just started in January (Netflix has it for EVERYONE except the USA) I don't have much of an opinion about except that they have changed the ages of the characters. I kinda hate it when that happens. Other then that, I don't have anything to say so far.
The Book. I'm on chapter 2 at the moment that I write this. It's the original story so I will be able to get ALL the details.
Like most books to movies, i like watching the movies first then read the books to pick apart things they got wrong or just changed.
I know of 2 other people who know of this series.
The Mortal Instruments series is a part of a bigger series known as the Shadowhunter chronicles. It's actually the second part but its the more popular part. You don't need to know any of the other parts to read the Mortal Instruments.
Please put things into spoilers. Not everyone has read the books all the way through (i'm only at chapter 2 of book 1 thank you) o3o
List of the Books:
