Starting off with apologies for this going up a day late! I, as I basically always do, had some issues with my scanner. Those issues aside, I am super excited to be starting on my Shadowhunter Chronicles crossword puzzles with City of Bones, the first installment in The Mortal Instruments series! I aim to have a crossword puzzle for all the books in this series of series. Which I think will be 17 books as of today (18 if you include The Shadowhunter’s Codex, which I am unsure if I shall make a puzzle for that). I already have a general Shadowhunters themed puzzle, so there is already more to do if you want another!
Shadowhunter books have such a special place in my heart, the books are so fast and fun and are about killing the ideals of fascism in its many forms (also about killing demons and occasionally kissing attractive people). I am currently reading Chain of Gold, which might not get a puzzle for a little while but will eventually! Here is a link to all my Cassandra Clare crossword puzzles.
Last week’s puzzle was A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas, and you can find the answer sheet for that here! Next week’s puzzle will either be book two in TMI, City of Ashes, or Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. And once that puzzle is published, it will include an answer sheet for this puzzle.
Here are the clues typed out! Also, there is no #18 because I somehow just forgot that number.
