The Bane Chronicles (Bane Chronicles, 1-11)

by Cassandra Clare, Sarah Rees Brennan, and Maureen Johnson

An illustrated hardback of 11 stories about immortal warlock Magnus Bane, from the internationally bestselling Cassandra Clare.

Following Cassandra Clare's internationally bestselling Mortal Instruments and Infernal Devices series, The Bane Chronicles is the perfect gift for Shadowhunters. This gorgeous illustrated hardback brings together 11 stories about immortal warlock Magnus Bane, first published as eBooks. A fan-favourite character from Cassandra Clare's Shadowhunter Chronicles, Magnus features in The Mortal Instruments, The Infernal Devices, Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy and the movie of City of Bones. Magnus will never be able to tell all of his tales. No one would believe him. But these stories shed a little light on his often inscrutable character. They are stories he probably wishes had never got out.

Magnus Bane is my favorite character in Cassandra Clare's Shadowhunter universe, so I was expecting much more. It felt very rushed, and like it had been cobbled together in a weekend. I wanted more insight into his early life, maybe a history of things he had witnessed throughout the years, but most of it was about odd little adventures with Ragnor Fell and Catarina Loss. It seemed a lost opportunity.
