The Red Scrolls of Magic

Image
This lovely book is another great addition to the Shadowhunter book series. Cassandra Clare and co-writer Wesley Chu spin a unique tale of romance and adventure between Magnus Bane (Warlock) and Alec Lightwood (Shadowhunter). Yes, that's right, we have a same-sex relationship between a Shadowhunter and Warlock. After surviving an epic battle against Valentine Morgenstern, and then Alec "coming out" in front of the Clave by kissing Magnus, it's time for some relaxation. What better way then to go on a cross country European trip with your boyfriend? Of course, the trip isn't going according to plan because there is trouble brewing with a cult called the Crimson Hand. The occasional demon attacks are putting a damper on  their romance. Why should this matter to our two love birds?According to a source, the cult is supposedly founded and led by Magnus Bane, and this could put him in serious danger with the Clave (ruling body of the Shadowhunters). Magnus has only a v...

Chain of Gold by Cassandra Clare

Chain of Gold is the first book of The Last Hour series written by the outstanding author Cassandra Clare. I recently read this book during the pandemic and lets just say it was phenomenal! Here's what you need to know when you start to read this book: First, this book takes place several years later after The Infernal Device series (Clockwork Angel, Clockwork Prince, and Clockwork Princess). Second, this story is based on the next Shadowhunter generation which includes Will Herondale and Tessa Gray's children, James and Lucy Herondale, and other Shadowhunter families in the past series. Not only are we being introduced to new characters and the dynamics of their families, but we learn that demons haven't made their appearance in a while. This lack of appearance has caused Shadowhunters to ease up on their guard and duties which isn't a good thing, because suddenly a surge of demons appears out of nowhere. Many of the Shadowhunters are dumbfounded as how the demons appe...

The Bane Chronicles by Cassandra Clare

Image
This book is a collaboration between Cassandra Clare and fellow authors who contributed novellas about the famous Magnus Bane, High Warlock of Brooklyn, New York. Magnus Bane is a major character within the Shadowhunter series because of his constant involvement with the Shadowhunters and Downworlder's alike. Any reader who reads this book will notice the time stamps for every entry along with his current location. Within the text readers get an in-depth look at who Magnus Bane is as a person and how he interacts with other characters in the Shadowhunter series. After I finished reading this book I realized there was so much depth to Magnus Bane and how strong his character is. The reason why I think Magnus is such a genuinely strong character in the series is the fact that he is immortal and is able to out live everyone. His immortality may be a blessing considering he will have endless time to travel the world and witness the progression of modern technology. The only downfall to...
