Look, if your kid is a Shadowhunters stan, this is a must-read. It’s like the 'extended cut' of a favorite movie—lots of lore, lots of feelings, and a bit more grit than the early books.
It’s not 'brain rot' fantasy; it’s actually quite well-written and emotionally complex. Just know that it’s an anthology, so the pacing can be a bit stop-and-go. It’s perfect for the teen who likes their fantasy with a side of Victorian angst and supernatural politics.
