The Shadowhunter Academy novellas follow Simon Lewis as he tries to regain his memories after the events of City of Heavenly Fire and attends Shadowhunter Academy in Idris to eventually Ascend as a Shadowhunter. While many of the novellas focus on Simon's trials at the academy, his newfound friendship with George Lovelace, and his struggles with Shadowhunter law a good few of them also focus on some other characters that have popped up throughout the Infernal Devices and the Mortal Instruments or will be in the upcoming Dark Artifices and Last Hours series.
Reading these have really made anxious for the Dark Artifices and have made me feel guilty for still not having read The Infernal Devices or The Bane Chronicles yet... /shame/
