Whether you're a fan of Cassandra or never read her books, you probably know she has many books and spin-offs in the shadowhunters world.
Recently, Cassandra announced a new trilogy (a Magnus Bane adult trilogy), and seeing the comments on goodreads... I knew I had to make this post.
Apparently, lots of people want Cassandra to stop writing in the shadowhunters universe. Why?
They say she's recycling the same thing over and over again, that she's making more and more books in that world for money, that there are enough books in the shadowhunters universe and there is no need for more.

Personally, I disagree. I find each of Cassandra's trilogies and characters utterly unique and different.
The shadowhunters world Cassandra has created is such a rich universe, that so many stories can be foretold there.
But that's just my opinion. The real reason for this post is this:

If you had enough of all that? By all means, stop reading the next books. But also stop trash talking the books before they even came out or when you have no intention of actually reading them.
Everyone are entitled to their own opinions. If you've read a book and you didn't like it\hated it - you should talk all about it and express what you feel\think (respectfully, of course). But saying all that before you even read the book? Please, don't.
Before Lady Midnight came out, there was also a lot of trash talk about it on goodreads. I couldn't find a single positive comment. And that was before the book even came out.
After it came out? Well, let's just say its average rating on goodreads right now is 4.51 and the front page is full of 5 stars reviews.

Clearly, people still want more, still love the books and the majority of them don't think Cassandra should stop writing.
I am too.
Lady Midnight wasn't as *amazing* for me as Cassandra's previous books, but it was pretty darn great.

Just like I don't think it's fair to rate a book I did not finish, I don't think it's okay to trash talk a book before it even came out, and obviously not before you read it for yourself. Because by that point, you're not being a reader who judges the book. You're being a person who judges the author for writing more books.
I always love hearing your thoughts.

Me? Oh, I'm a HUGE fan. As in, Cassandra Clare is one of my favorite authors - ever.
But if you don't like the books - still feel free to tell me all about it.
I don't bite (well, at least I'll try not to).
Tell me all about it in the comments so we can discuss ;)
Until then...
