The Shadowhunter’s Codex

Author: Cassandra Clare and Joshua Lewis
Saga:  Unique Book
Spanish: No

The Shadowhunter’s Codex is a fictional manual derived from the Mortal Instruments book series. The Codex is supposed to be the book every shadowhunter child gets when he or she starts training to become a warrior. The book is Clary Fray’s copy, which is full of drawings and notes made by Jace, Simon her best friend and herself. The book teaches about the different things you should know to become a shadowhunter, such as demonology, beistiarie and runes to mark yourself in order to be better protected. It also includes the basic Nephilim history of how they came to be with the Angel Raziel and Jonathan Shadowhunter. 

Even though the book is fiction it is written in a way that you could even consider becoming a shadowhunter or start training yourself to be one. It looks like really hard work from learning all the runes to languages, attacks blades and ways to kill certain types of demons. It is a book to pass the time and if you already like or have read either “the mortal Instruments” of “The Infernal Devices” it helps clear the view of some of the things it includes through out both the series and the trilogy.
