Shadowhunters Review

Are you a bibliophile and are scared that you'll cringe at the #adaptation of your favorite YA Fiction series (The Mortal Instruments)?

Take it from a fellow bibliophile- this show is going to cross your expectations, and yes, it is BETTER than the movie.

Based on the Shadowhunters, who protect the earth from demons, Downworlders, consisting of the magical warlocks, ferocious werewolves, cunning faeries and mysterious vampires, and of course, the demons. A world hidden away from the real world, of which Clary is a major part of, but does not know it yet... until she bumps into Jace. By the way, let me just add: Clary is my all time favorite protagonist across all shows, and Malec (Magnus and Alec) are my OTP.

This show is for the lovers of Harry Potter, Hunger Games and Percy Jackson, and tops the charts in fantasy. You'll too be left wondering how writers can create an entire universe without any loopholes. It involves magic, action, romance, humour, and splendid acting. There isn't much I can give away about the Shadowhunter universe without giving you spoilers, but I will tell you this: watch at least the first episode, and you'll be bound to continue.

However, for the lovers of The Mortal Instruments series: There is a lot of change from what the books say mid season 1 onwards. Fear not, it is one of the rare pieces which do not spoil the books by changing details, but you might find yourself discontinuing owing to worrying you'll actually forget what the book says.
