We’re continuing with our reading of The City of Bones, the first in The Mortal Instruments series with chapters 14 – 20. We spent half the podcast with mating seagulls outside our window, so we apologise for any… excited bird calls in the background.
To kick of the Shadowhunter Hiatus (WOE) we figured we would give you some suggestions on how to keep busy, during this difficult time.
We discuss Black Sails (TV), The Dresden Files (Book), The Amulet of Samarkand (Book) and our overwhelming, and possibly unhealthy, love for Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV) as well as talking about fandom and how we got into it. That should hopefully keep you busy for a while!
(Due to a houseguest, we had to abandon our normal recording space, so we’d like to apologise for the audio jump between the first 27 minutes and the rest of the episode.)
Episode 38 of The Descent Is Easy discusses A Heart of Darkness, Episode 8 of Season 3 of Shadowhunters.
This week we have issues with Luke and Ollie, however we are in LOVE with the Lightwood Siblings, and Clary being a chaos tiger. We admire Simon’s arc and Maia’s strength. Oh, how we wish that every YA story had a Maia Roberts! We also discuss shirtless Jace and Alec. For science. And how close Maryse might have come to being one of the pregnant women Valentine experimented on… just for some light comic relief.
Episode 37 of The Descent Is Easy discusses Salt In The Wound, Episode 7 of Season 3 of Shadowhunters.
This week we discuss Magnus and Luke’s amazing disappearing act; how the long awaited Simon Alec interaction isn’t quite what was wanted, but was maybe what was needed; the many ways in which Alisha Wainwright is awesome; a hug 40 episodes in the making; how Magnus and Alec continue to be a basket of onions; the surprisingly brutal departure of Mimi Kuzyk; how the Owl seems to have turned into a shark who steals thumb; and have we mentioned that Alisha Wainwright is awesome?
Episode 33 of The Descent Is Easy discusses What Lies Beneath, Episode 3 of Season 3 of Shadowhunters.
We’re going to keep this short and sweet. This episode is fantastic. Great writing, great directing, great acting. Everyone turned up to work this week and it really shows! Bring on the rest of Season 3!
In preparation for the start of Shadowhunters Season 3, we’re looking at the tweets and teasers we’ve had during the hiatus, and talk through our hopes and dreams for the upcoming season, some of which seem very likely (Hello, Magnus backstory! Welcome, downworld world building); and some less so (we’ll never give up hoping for the full episode of steak eating, vodka drinking, and bath taking; and Ruth is holding on to the road-trip idea with both hands).
In short we’re super excited. Come join us!

Episode 28 of The Descent Is Easy discusses Hail and Farewell, Episode 19 of Season 2 of Shadowhunters.
In which the Shadowhunters go Shadowhunting; Alec gets a hero shot that almost makes up for his last one, on a shopping cart; we attempt to psychoanalyse Jonathan Morgenstern (good luck to us…); we discover much to our shock that the mortal mirror plot line is kinda nonsense; Maia and Simon are still adorable; and the Clace is on! (see what we did there?)
