The Bane Chronicles

"4.5⭐ This book was so good! I love Magnus so much! He's such a fun, lovable character! I loved getting to see some of his backstory! If you're a fan of the Shadowhunter Chronicles then this book is a must read! Up next is Lady Midnight!"

"Individual Ratings: What Really Happened in Peru ★★★ | The Runaway Queen ★★ | Vampires, Scones, and Edmund Herondale ★★★ | The Midnight Heir ★★★★ | The Rise of Hotel Dumort ★★★ | Saving Raphael Santiago ★★★ | The Fall of Hotel Dumort ★★ | What to Buy the Shadowhunter Who Has Everything ★★★ | The Last Stand of the New York Institute ★★ | The Course of True Love ★★★★ | The Voicemail of Magnus Bane ★★★<br/><br/>I enjoyed the stories coauthored by Sarah Rees Brennan significantly more than the others. Despite my love for Magnus (or maybe because of it), I felt like I expected more from these. Still, it was nice to get to see glimpses of Magnus's past, and his side of his interactions with the other characters we know and love."

"Only makes sense if you’ve read city of bones series "

"I averaged out my individual ratings for this and it was technically a 3.95 but close enough"

"Magnus bane is my favorite is a warlock and is gay i like the way he lives is life "

A MONTH. Needless to say, I very much cannot keep my chill and have gone into preparation mode reading all the Shadowhunter books I can before March. <br/><br/><img src="https://media.giphy.com/media/8dYmJ6Buo3lYY/giphy.gif" width="" height="" alt="ALL THE BOOKS"><br/><br/>And somehow I’ve lived my life thus far without diving into any of the short story books from the shadowhunter universe. Hey, don’t give me that look! <i>[b:Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy|28954137|Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy|Cassandra Clare|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1454864103l/28954137._SY75_.jpg|46924845]</i> is all about Simon, one of the most annoying characters in The Mortal Instruments, so I haven’t been too keen to read it. And for some odd reason, I’ve never been pulled to Magnus’ short stories and it’s hard to pinpoint why. I’m very secure with my adoration for Magnus and he feels like a very developed characters to me, so I’ve just never felt the need to read more about his history???<br/><br/>Obviously, that’s some ******** the old me pre-<i>Bane Chronicles</i> would say because this book was DELIGHTFUL. And HILARIOUS. It’s no surprise that Magnus is the absolute best and I just love him so much?? But seeing him develop the amazing friendships we’ve already come to love gave me FEELINGS. My view of Camille is forever changed. I’ve also never realized how entangled Magnus and Raphael’s history really was and I have such a better appreciation for them now. And Ragnor!! Oh my god, I will never NOT call him my sweet pea pod now. <br/><br/>I also thought Cassandra Clare did a great job of capturing the feeling of decades passing by. That was something I was vaguely concerned about going in—that capturing the full scope of Magnus’ long life would be impossible, but I really loved it! All the descriptions of each time period were so cool and it gave me a sharper clarity of why Magnus is the way he is. Which is FABULOUS, obviously.<br/><br/>This was also my first glimpse at the characters from The Last Hours and I just—<br/><br/><img src="https://media.giphy.com/media/HWNDSWiRIB6yQ/giphy.gif" width="" height="" alt="You’re all my children now"><br/><br/>HOW CAN I LOVE THEM SO MUCH WITH SO LITTLE TO GO ON?!? I would do anything for Jamie’s happiness. ANYTHING. And I’m DYING to know what the deal is with him and Grace?????? Can I get some ANSWERS PLEASE??????? Also, is there anything better than adult dad Will?? I think not. *Swoons*<br/><br/><b>FINAL WORD</b><br/><br/>Loretta sat on this book for too long thinking that it wasn’t that important to the Shadowhunter universe. Don’t be Loretta. A CAUTIONARY TALE."

"Also born to endless night is a short story between the mortal instruments series and the lost book of the white, and then finally If you haven't gotten to it yet The land I lost is the last one they have out for now"
