Pages: 518 pages

Book Synopsis: 
Fans of The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices can get to know warlock Magnus Bane like never before in this collection of New York Times bestselling tales, in print for the first time with an exclusive new story and illustrated material.

This collection of eleven short stories illuminates the life of the enigmatic Magnus Bane, whose alluring personality, flamboyant style, and sharp wit populate the pages of the #1 New York Times bestselling series, The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices.

Originally released one-by-one as e-only short stories by Cassandra Clare, Maureen Johnson, and Sarah Rees Brennan, this compilation presents all ten together in print for the first time and includes a never-before-seen eleventh tale, as well as new illustrated material.


My Review:

         Once again I've found myself in a state of having withdrawal symptoms from one of my favorite fandom worlds. So I decided the best way to cure these symptoms was to dive right back into the Downworlder's realm by reading all of the short stories about my favorite Warlock, Magnus Bane.

         The Bane Chronicles is a compilation of a few short stories all about the amazing High Warlock of Brooklyn, Magnus Bane. Magnus as most of us know at this point is one of the most important Downworlders in 'The Mortal Instruments' and 'The Infernal Devices' series. 



       In these short stories we began to understand Magnus's character a lot more as we are given an even closer glimpse at the amazing warlock. In these stories we are taken on a roller coaster of events over the span of Magnus's immortal lifetime and encounter a lot of new characters as well as some beloved well known characters. 

      Once I started this book I could not put it down! Scenes from 'The Mortal Instruments' and 'The Infernal Devices' Series are relived through the eyes of Magnus and give you even more reasons to love and adore his complex character. Overall this is a fantastic must read for any Cassandra Clare fan and I recommend it highly!
