ghosts of the shadow market series in order

We discover Matthew Fairchild’s secret, Anna Lightwood’s first romance, the mystery and secrecy of the Lost Herondales and First Heir, the destruction and impact of the mundane wars, the odd relationship between two powerful forces in the Shadowhunter world (Silent Brother and Iron Sisters) as well as the introduction of new characters and the backstory of those we’ve known previously. Not only do we see new characters but some of our favourites from other books, which I loved. The first two novellas in this book, Cast Long Shadows and Every Exquisite Thing, are perhaps two of my favourites. Although, we have previously seen some of the characters in other novels, the reader experiences them as teenagers and can theorise as to the plot of Chain of Gold – the first novel in the upcoming The Last Hours series. Within these stories we not only follow Zachariah throughout Silent Brotherhood, but we are introduced to characters like Matthew Fairchild, James Herondale, Anna Lightwood and many other children of characters from The Infernal Devices. Ghosts of the Shadow Market effectively gains the reader attention for upcoming series such as The Last Hours and The Wicked Powers, whereas Tales form the Shadowhunter Academy lead seamlessly into The Dark Artifices series.

Personally, I found this book to be somewhat of a ‘sequel’ to Tales of Shadowhunter Academy, another collection of novellas – focused on Simon. Ghosts of the Shadow Market is another collection of captivating short stories, centred around the beloved character Brother Zachariah, and adventures and interesting interactions with others from the world of Shadowhunter and Downworlders, alike.
