The problem with that series is its really two separate trilogies with the same characters. So the vast knowledge gap is hilarious

@twelvebooksaday8640 2 года назад

Love the fact your prediction was dead on for book 3 and has nothing to do with book 6 😂

@bluecleo14 2 года назад

I think of Mortal Instruments as two trilogies Cus most things wrap up in book three and it starts a new “arc” in book four so that could be why that happened?

@ashleyzbz 2 года назад

Cassandra Clare used to write Ron/Ginny fanfic and I feel like that really gives context to some of the stuff in this series.

Love this review! City of Bones is a guilty pleasure for me. I was obsessed with it when I was 13. I enjoy it a lot but if people ask me if it’s good, I genuinely don’t have an answer since it’s so nostalgic for me 😅

@aphillyreader 2 года назад

I relate to this so much. My copy is so warn down and signed. I went to the movie meet & greet. I was that obsessed.

@kara1084 2 года назад

What a fun and chaotic idea for a series! The first book of TMI is... rough. Lol I do love so many of her books though, especially The Infernal Devices. I think she wasn't quite ready to be published at the beginning but definitely learned as she went.

@giuliatadei2527 2 года назад

@GavinReadsItAll 2 года назад

@BecxReadz 2 года назад

Totally. You should do a Kindle clean out.

@momo4u282 2 года назад

Lol I love this I wouldn’t mind if you did this again maybe with a trilogy so the gap of knowledge is only one book. It might not be that bad for you. But as a viewer I love this series it’s supper funny to see someone be completely confused about a series you read and understand.

@CarinaSchrijft 2 года назад

Do a series where you read chapter 1 - 3 - 5 - 7- etc so uneven first and go back to read all the even chapters after you finished it the first time. I have seen someone do this and the confussion in round 1 and OH moments in round 2 where really funny

@NakiasHideaway 2 года назад

You can't cancel this series! We love it! I especially love it cause I don't plan on reading any of these books. 😄 And you need to do a video just on how you make your coffee. They always look so nice! ☕🖤 Also, the kitties!!!!!! Omg so adorable! My tuxedo cat always bathes my black cat too! 😻😻

@cagegrrl 2 года назад

100% Mortal Instruments is Cassie Clare's worst series 😅 I'd recommend the Infernal Devices if you're looking at picking up any more of her books.

@brittanyw6065 2 года назад

having skipped books 3-6 myself and then later picked up the first Infernal Devices book on a whim....I disagree. While there are some new ideas introduced, It's still set in the same world and deals with a lot of the fallout/backstory context of the original series, so just like Gavin, I was very lost on a lot of the importance of certain plot points, and the ones I knew were only bc I had read the first two books initially, and by the time I finished the book, I also felt like I didn't care as much as I shouldve about it. CC's series are very interconnected, so IMO, you kinda have to take an all or nothing approach to actually appreciate it all.

@cagegrrl 2 года назад

@@brittanyw6065 I stand by my opinion of TMI being the worst of her series, but that's not to say I think it should be skipped. Infernal Devices happens before TMI, and it's easy to understand what is going on separate from the rest of the ShadowHunter saga, if that trilogy is all you read, it's also the best way of figuring out whether you want to give the rest of the books a go or not. However, for the rest of the Saga it's very interconnected and you'd probably need to read them all.

@brittanyw6065 Год назад

@@cagegrrl oh, i do agree that objectively, TMI is the worst-written series. you can tell her writing definitely improved in the later books.

@heathers_happily_ever_afters 2 года назад

I'm sorry you didn't enjoy reading this. Technically, the first 3 books of The Mortal Instruments is a story and Valentine is defeated in book 3 and then Sebastian/Lilith become the bad guys' in books 4-6, because it was originally supposed to be a trilogy. I personally love Cassandra Clare. I have hardcover first editions of her entire Shadowhunter series and I just ordered the litjoy special edition of The Mortal Instruments. I also take off work when she releases new books so I can read them. I can't wait to read Chain of Thorns! ^_^

These projects are always entertaining and your videos brighten up my day, so before I dive into this I just want to say thank you Gavin!! Can’t wait for the inevitable laughs.

This video was chaos and I LOVED it. I was such a big Mortal Instruments fan in my teens but compared to Cassandra Clare’s other series I think you can tell it was her first one!

@arobinreads 2 года назад

This vlog series is epic! 🙂 Maybe do a Kindle TBR video to remind yourself what's on there? Maybe do a series your sort of interested in like the Sarah J Maas one? Because this one you weren't interested at all, so that might have been less enjoyable.

@nelli_lakatos 2 года назад

Not realizing you already bought the book 9 years ago is iconic😄 I love this series you need to make more of this!

@xiomysbooktales6279 2 года назад

This is a real fun concept, even though it is confusing for you. 😅 TMI was a fav series as a teenager then I reread it and was so annoyed by it. But it still holds a special place in my heart because as a trilogy (as it was initially) it got me back into reading. Also, there is a real sad death in book 3. Hope you continue doing these videos. 💕

@louiseonofrio-mills48 2 года назад

Hi Gavin! Just to say I’m a new subscriber and I’m absolutely loving your videos! You do make me laugh, you’re just fab!👍🤣 I only bought the Cassandra Clare book set last weekend, wondering if I should return them now!🤔😂x

@ktxx22 2 года назад

I’m here in the comments again begging you to do this with The Gunslinger and The Dark Tower I think it’ll be the biggest success ever for a series like this! Also I’ve loved both of these both times because I would never read these books either so it’s nice knowing what you think regardless of context!

@ellie-elles.bookshelf 2 года назад

I first read this series as a teen and loved it, it’s so nostalgic for me! But I know if I read it now mid 20s I wouldn’t feel the same 🤣 great video Gav, really enjoyed it! Also Cassie loves a lonnnnggggg chapter 🥲

I love you and your content and everything that you try to do with everything you do is always amazing I know the series Dylan is in trouble that you're using as inspiration and I think hes hilarious with it too it's meant to be kind of confusing so totally get where you're coming from especially for a book series which have a lot more information than you know movies or TVs No matter what you decide to do just keep being you

@shelliingle571 2 года назад

@ellieskouros2174 2 года назад

omg i'm wishing you luck, at least reading the first and last mortal instruments isn't as bad as reading the first and last throne of glass. i don't know how you do this 😉 if you want to continue reading cassie clare i totally recommend the infernal devices -- top tier series!!! not to mention the last hours (which is the sequel series to that) is literally soooo good and i felt so many emotions. cassie has damaged me and i love her for it 💘

First of all, when you were saying you were refusing to buy the books and then couldn’t get the first. I was saying to myself don’t you dare say you bought it Gav! Noo!! And when you said you were gonna get it on kindle, I was thinking ugh okay, but you know and I know that you will not like it. And then to find out you already owned it for 9 years, I was cracking up. 😂👏🏻 I’ve done that many times. Second…you’re cats are so fricken cute! I love how they reacted to your face mask. They love you! I’m also just realizing Ash has a white mustache 😍 my black and white cat has a black mustache. So cute!!

@biankatoth1786 2 года назад

I would love to see you read the first and last book of The Lorien legacies. I loved these books but there's 8 books (I think) so it would be much fun and confusion.

@ChemicalPenguinn 2 года назад

I've read this whole series so this will probably be more fun for me (because I know what happens) Though, if I'm being honest, if not for self isolation (thanks COVID) it's unlikely I would have finished this series. Not that I didn't enjoy it, because I did for the most part, but because those books are very long.

@judithcakelover 2 года назад

So funny to see all the confusion haha🤣

@racheltfisher 2 года назад

Gavin, I got the whole collection of books from the works really cheaply a few years back, you could’ve done that! Also you purchased it on my wedding anniversary, though I didn’t get married in 2013 I got married in 2018 😆

@TheBluehollywood 2 года назад

I loved this video 😃😃 this series of yours cracks me up. Your confusion when you hit the last book is fantastic to watch 😄😄. I will say that The Mortal Instruments is not a favourite of mine and I prefer the tv show to an extent. The best thing this series gave me was Magnus and Alec 🥰❤️💛. They are the only reason I read all 6 books and I will give Cassie Clare props for the character development of Alec 👏. He came a long way and the person he is now (past book 6) is brilliant 😍. I do 💯% agree that this series was boring and IMO didn’t need to be 6 books long, 4 & 5 were unnecessary and I gave them both 2stars 😬😬.

I would love you to continue this series (plzzzz) but maybe with a different genre! Like maybe you could do a sci-fi series like Dune or Discworld (although I guess those technically fall a little bit into fantasy realm). Or maybe a romance series could be fun!

@jeilee3860 2 года назад

@gracie9658 2 года назад

Oh boy this series sure is a wild ride. I kept thinking about all the drama that went on in books 2-5 and thinking about how lost you were going to be, turns out I was right haha. Some weird ass shit went on in the middle books, these kinda feel like a fever or drug induced dream tbh.

@MissRaindrop24 2 года назад

Great video really enjoyed it 😊👍. Maybe instead of reading the complete books you could read the first like 100 pages or first 5-10 chapters of the first book ad than the last 100 pages/5-10 chapters of the last book. That way it would have a similar outcome but not so much time spent. If it’s with a tv series it’s like even with a double episode finale and 60 Minute episodes still only about 3hrs content to watch not like a 20hrs audiobook.

@cakt1991 2 года назад

“I just wanted someone to die and didn’t get it.” 😂😈 It would be interesting to see you read an intricate romance series this way and see how that works! Most of them are just collections of standalones with connected characters, but some have arcs that carry over. Like the Bridgerton series has a mini-arc with Lady Whistledown that is resolved in book 4, but what if you never got to see the reveal? It just never gets brought up again after that book. And so much time passes from book 1 to 8. The male lead of book 8 is a child in book 1, and while it worked for me, I’ve definitely heard some people say they were put off by that.

I read the Mortal Instruments and after the third or fourth book I thought the series was over with a little Bit of an Open ending But to be honest I was not Feeling that I needed another book. Years later I found Out that there was more. I really Like the world and the Magic system But the Characters and their building are a no for me. Which is sad. One of the sequels was good though. The clockwork series
