*My Thoughts*
Although the series has come into its own away from the books, I think it has created a life of its own. Okay, it's not exactly following the books page by page, but I feel that it still is faithful to the story and characters that Cassandra Clare has created.
The cast and crew has progressed since the first season. And, I am liking the direction this series is going. Yes, it is not exactly following the books, but since when does a movie and/or television series follows the books...exactly. Various subplots have been revealed, and are tied in with each other. So, a lot has happened in this second season giving viewers a definite taste of the Shadowhunter world.
Overall, the characters and setting still is true to the books. Once you stop comparing the series to the books, you will enjoy this television series. The show is filled with it share of drama, action, suspense, adventure, and character angst.
Until the next season Shadowhunters!
Excited for Season 3!!!
