Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Cassandra Clare's Shadowhunter Chronicles consist of five series and 20 books, and the sheer scope of the author's world may leave anyone less familiar with her books wondering what order to read them in. Clare's Shadowhunters novels kicked off with City of Bones back in 2007, and Clary and Jace's story soon expanded to become a much larger world.
Even though series like The Infernal Devices and The Last Hours are set further in the past than the novels that come before them, they build on what already exists. There's a reason Clare wrote and released these stories in the order she did, and the most straightforward way to dive into this world is in publication order. That said, it is possible to read the Shadowhunter Chronicles in chronological order if one wishes to.
Reading Clockwork Princess before finishing The Mortal Instruments series means readers will be exposed to minor spoilers regarding the characters' fates. This is why going by release order may be best for a first-time reader. The Mortal Instruments books do eventually overlap with The Infernal Devices, but reading Clare's series chronologically won't spoil Jace and Clary's story in any way. If anything, reading Clockwork Princess prior to City of Heavenly Fire will reveal spoilers about The Infernal Devices' characters' fates.
Where Cassandra Clare's Short Story Collections Fit In Clare has also penned a number of short story collections set in the Shadowhunters world, and this is where the timeline gets even more complicated. As Clare's collections tend to focus on specific characters or places, the stories within them fall in different areas of the franchise's timeline.
