The Bane Chronicles ; Review

The Bane Chronicles by Cassandra Clare, Sarah Rees Brennan & Maureen Johnson
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars!


Wow wow wow. 

Until reading this book I had not realized how much I had missed Magnus. I missed his glitter & glam, his sassy remarks, and generally just his overall fabulous self. This book wouldn't have been quite as good as it was if it wasn't told by Magnus. (Even though these are his experiences.) His narration is extremely funny, but interesting as well, because you get to see all of these past events from Magnus' view. Not only was this book super sassy and hilarious, like everything that has Magnus in it, it was really interesting to finally get a lot of background info about events previous and after TID & TMI. Throughout the TID & TMI books, most of the perspectives were from Shadowhunters. We never really got some deep information and thoughts from someone heavily involved in the Downworld and it's community, but we finally have, through Magnus. 
We learned a lot about Magnus himself, but also some extra information about the Circle, the children of characters in TID, how the Hotel Dumort came to be, and lots & lots about Camille. We got to see more about Magnus' past relationships, romantically and friendly. The collection of stories was a good mix of fun and serious, which was needed. 
Over all, this book was just a joy to read and it was really really fun to revisit Magnus and the Shadowhunter world. (Also this book really just made the wait for Lady Midnight EVEN LONGER.)
