The codex is an extremely important guide for the young soon to be Shadowhunter. Shadowhunters are Nephilim. Their task is to control the demonic creatures that reside on earth. The codex covers everything from how to choose you Shadowhunters name, the types of demonic creatures, the types of weapons that they can be used and the pros and cons of each of those weapons. The illustrations are wonderful. I was amazed at how clear they were on my Nook Samsung Galaxy and the Kindle Fire HD. The side comments provided were hilarious. I can see that my middle school students who have read Mortal Instruments and Infernal Devices are going to truly enjoy this book. Will be a good addition to the school library.
I liked this in depth look into the shadow hunter world. It was also hilarious to have Jace, Clary, and Simon's commentary throughout and it lightened up the book a lot. The codex was very formal and could be extremely dry at times and for that it lost a few stars for me. I'm glad I read this book because it was a great refresher into the shadowhunter world but I wouldn't really recommend it unless you were a huge fan of the TMI or TID series and wanted more info on the world and background.
this is what I mean by the world itself has potential.
