Hello! Currently posting from within a pile
of revision but all is well (I'm lying, someone save me).
Anyhow, I've just finished The Bane
Chronicles and I just want to tell you all about how amazing and wonderful it
is (you'd expect it to be because well 1) It's written by Cassandra Clare 2)
IT's MAGNUS BANE)
So
basically, this book is all stories about Magnus. Stories from before The
Infernal Devices, during and then during The Mortal Instruments. I has all the
characters that we love the most in it and genuinely made me laugh (especially
the last chapter).
If you are thinking of reading this I would
advise reading both TID and TMI before you do as it could spoil some things for
you.
It is in both physical copy and ebook, but
the ebooks are separate stories whereas the physical book has the stories all together. All three writers did an amazing job on this, the writing was beautiful.
I would give this book 5 stars! It's so so
cute and ideal for any 'book hangovers' as it's a standalone and quite
lighthearted. (It also got me out of a slight slump).
*** SPOILER SECTION***
So the first chapter is about Peru and what
happened (we never really find out) but the best moment for me is when we find
out that Magnus was a pirate because that's what Max wants to be and it just
made me want to burst into tears.
The stories about the Hotel Dumort was
really interesting for me because I was really intrigued by Magnus' relationship
with Camille and how the Hotel Dumort came to be.
MY FAVOURITE PART HAD TO BE ALL OF THE
MALEC. The awkward date, the present buying, the voicemails. I just loved it.
And when Magnus rings Catarina and asks her what to get Alec and she just
replies 'Magnus I have lives to save' and hangs up . I loved how we see Magnus
and Catarinas friendship too because that not really in any details in the
other series.
Overall I loved this book and i would
really recommend it if you're a Magnus lover, like myself.
