Featured on a HUGE puzzle, part of the 2021 Literary Locations add-ons from LitJoy Crate! I had to RECUT some of the pieces because of tear stains. I started from TID #1, went back to TMI #1 for world building context, and finished off TID #2 and #3 - and I very much enjoyed it! I was working on the Nutcracker Papercraft as I was listening to the final chapters of Clockwork Princess, and y'all…………. Unrelated to participating in this box, I did get some prodding about this trilogy from other readers, and the time period setting really appealed to my tastes. I was suuuuuper put off from reading the series since I distinctly remember not enjoying the original City of Bones film. I must say, I’m super new to the Shadowhunters world - at least in the book spectrum.

The flat colors (meant to replicate stain glass) was an appealing style to work in! Black Friar’s bridge can be seen behind the couples in the time period that they’re in. I had a really fun time with this piece, and it allowed me to get in some nice expression detail for the two pairings.

A new illustration that was featured as a display triptych in the Chain of Gold Special Edition box! It features the main trio from the Infernal Devices trilogy, Will, Tessa and Jem!
