As I've been making my way through Cassandra Clare's "Mortal Instruments" series, I've found that however tired I get of the characters and reused plots, Magnus Bane, High Warlock of Brooklyn, is always the shining light of the series and somehow makes each book more enjoyable with his presence. So I was absolutely thrilled when I heard that a collection of short stories centered on everyone's favourite warlock was going to be released. If you love Magnus and his eccentric personality, "The Bane Chronicles" is the book for you. Spoilers follow."The Bane Chronicles" is comprised of eleven short stories that tell of different points in Magnus's life. Since he's been alive for hundreds of years (it's hard to say exactly how many centuries - he routinely lies about his age), Magnus has had quite a few adventures. The book covers his misadventures in Peru (why he was banned Magnus still doesn't know), a run-in with Marie Antoinette during the French Revolution, various encounters with members of the Herondale family in the 1800s, a couple instances dealing with the Hotel Dumont and the vampires that call it home, dealing with a newly-Changed Raphael Santiago, a battle with Valentine's Circle, meeting Jocelyn and agreeing to hide young Clary's Shadowhunter traits, and the growth of his relationship with Alec Lightwood. Throughout all of his adventures, Magnus is always magnificent, always looking for excitement and, of course, always fashionable.The short stories vary in length and quality, but they're all enjoyable (though the first story about Peru does go on a bit long, especially since we never really learn why Magnus was banned from the country). It's interesting to see Magnus in different settings with different characters and varied scenarios. Like I said earlier, he's easily one of the best characters in Clare's books, so it's very satisfying to have some stories that focus solely on him without the drama that other certain characters (looking at you, Clary) bring to the other books. While I wish we could have seen more of Magnus's earlier life (more on that in a moment), these tales provide some amusing insight into his past escapades and what ultimately makes Magnus, well, Magnus. I had to keep reminding myself that these were short stories, as I often wanted more information and more content than was provided. My interest was piqued and I'd have loved to see more, but I was ultimately content with the length and content of the stories...they were typically as long as they needed to be and told the tale they needed to. Some of them feel more connected to one another than others, but they all do their job: telling interesting, enjoyable stories about everyone's favourite warlock.I was impressed by the writing in the stories and felt that they captured a good range of themes as well as Magnus's overall tone. Like Clare's other books, "The Bane Chronicles" is written in the third-person, but the writing definitely demonstrates Magnus's character. He practically could have written it himself since his snark, whimsy, occasional obliviousness, and lofty opinion of himself shine through in the word usage and general tone of the book. What's more, we get a lot of different emotions from this. Sometimes the prose takes on a more humourous element. There were several points in the warlock's misadventures that made me chuckle or snort with amusement (generally a little embarrassing since I read most of this novel while at the gym, but no matter!). Other moments were more somber. I was particularly touched by Magnus's plight of living forever and how it affects his romantic life in that people he cares about tend to die in what essentially amounts to a blink of an eye for him. He also routinely faces discrimination from both the Shadowhunters and fellow Downworlders, which he mostly takes in stride. Perhaps it's because the last "Mortal Instruments" book I read was such a disappointment, but I wasn't expecting this level of writing from these stories. I came into this novel expecting some fun tales that focused on the best character from Clare's books and was pleased to find some snappy writing and impacting moments of introspection, all of which aid the book in fleshing out the mystery that is Magnus.In addition to providing some more insight into Magnus's character, "The Bane Chronicles" also builds more detail into Clare's world. I know some readers complain about her world building, but I'm actually rather impressed with how consistent and detailed it is (for the most part). I enjoyed reading about the different groups of Downworlders presented here, and since Magnus has more of an insider's perspective than the usual Shadowhunter, we perhaps see more than we otherwise would. We also get a better feel for the complex relationship the Downworlders have with each other and the Shadowhunters, again because of the different viewpoint. There are stories devoted to different historical events that are alluded to in the other books as well as events that are completely new, so we don't just learn about Magnus, but also gain more knowledge of Clare's world.On a random note, I love the small nods here and there to the pop culture of the time. Being as fashionable as he is, Magnus tends to enjoy whatever's "in" for the current time period, and having these references adds a certain level of authenticity to the text. It's a nice touch and a small detail that manages to stand out.The main character is, of course, Magnus Bane. If you don't like Magnus in the other Shadowhunter books, I don't know why you'd bother picking this book up because it's all him and everything he entails. Some reviewers have complained that Magnus is whiney, judgmental, and selfish. All I can say to that is of course he is...he's Magnus, after all. He's never exactly hidden who he is. Like I said earlier, I've always thought that Magnus was consistently the best character in the series, and all "The Bane Chronicles" has done is solidify that opinion. He's delightfully in character throughout and novel and shows signs of having grown by the end of it. It goes without saying that he's a satisfying main character...these stories likely wouldn't have been written if he wasn't so intriguing. I've read some reviewers that claim that this book takes away the mystery that surrounds this magnificent warlock, but I don't think that's entirely true. Yes, we see more of him and get a better understanding of who he is and how he functions, but there are still so many unknowns that aren't addressed, so many things we have yet to learn about him. It's possible to flesh a character out without destroying the enigma of the character, and this book manages to do that quite well.Magnus surrounds himself with a colourful array of characters...both figuratively and literally, in some cases. I haven't read all of Clare's books, so both Ragnor and Catarina were new to me. They're written well enough to get a feel for their personalities, and definitely add something to the stories in which they are present. Fans of Clare's "Infernal Devices" trilogy will likely be pleased to see the a couple members of the Herondale family as well as Tessa, Will, and Jem. I can't comment on how true to character they were since I haven't read that trilogy, but what we see of them is interesting enough. I personally enjoyed Raphael's journey and seeing his character grow into what we see in later books. Perhaps most significantly, we see more of Alec. I'll be honest; Alec has never been one of my favourite characters. I don't dislike him, per se, but have never considered him to be that intriguing or even important a figure. Here, however, the character really shined, possibly because, as Magnus himself puts it, Alec is often overshadowed by Jace and Isabelle's beauty and strong personalities when he's with his friends (and perhaps Clary's drama, but that's just my bias sneaking in again). So we not only get a better look at Magnus, but Alec also is given more depth. There aren't really any boring characters in the book; all do their part and add their own unique flavour to this colourful collection.There are ultimately two things that keep me from giving "The Bane Chronicles" a five star rating. The first is, as I mentioned above, that I'd have liked to see more of Magnus's earlier life. He mentions his rough upbringing with a family that couldn't accept what he was and the hardships that entailed many times throughout the stories as well as other potentially entertaining escapades he's had in his earlier years, but we don't get to see any of this. Perhaps seeing these things would have succeeded in taking away the mystery that some claim this book did. Who's to say? The farthest any of the stories here go back is the late eighteenth century, and I'd have personally liked to see the authors explore some settings that aren't already covered in Clare's other books. Magnus has been around for a while, so why limit what we're shown to a mere two hundred or so years?The second issue is more of a personal thing. As I've already mentioned, I have not read the "Infernal Devices" trilogy. Yes, shame on me, but I was too interested in some Magnus-centric stories to read Clare's other works before this book. I had hoped this wouldn't be an issue, but I got the distinct impression that the reader is supposed to have read all of Clare's other books before this one. There are a couple stories that take place during the same general time period as the "Infernal Devices" trilogy and feature the same characters and I frankly found myself getting a little lost simply because a lot of things weren't explained. For example, at one point Magnus is marveling that Will, Tessa, and Jem are all together again and, despite many years apart, have maintained their strong friendship. He goes on about this for a bit, but it was sort of lost on me because the context was never provided. What made them such good friends? Why have they been apart? Why is this significant? Again, this is mostly my fault for not reading everything, but I was thinking this would be a more independent novel that didn't require explicit knowledge of the events and lore of the other books. As a result, things that I felt were supposed to be significant fell a bit flat due to simply not having the context for them to have much of an impact.I can't end this review without a brief mention of the little comic pages before each chapter. Each story gets a one-page, sort of manga-style drawing that portrays a scene from the chapter. They're pretty cute and provide a nice little sneak-peek to what's in store for the reader."The Bane Chronicles" certainly succeeds in what it set out to do; that is, give us some entertaining stories of Magnus's adventures and provide some insight to this enigmatic fellow. If I'm going to be honest, I might have been disappointed had I purchased each story individually since they're so short, but they work well as a unified collection. I don't think it really needs to be said, but I'll say it anyway: if you don't particularly care for Magnus in Clare's other novels, please don't bother with this book because you likely won't enjoy it. If, however, you're like me and think he's the best part of the series, then this book is a must have, full of the quirky fun, entertaining misadventures, and sometimes solemn (and a tad melodramatic in the best way) brooding that accompanies this fashionable warlock. Four stars.
I can’t stop smiling. This book is perfection <3I have fallen in love with the world she’s created and everyone (well almost everyone…) in it. Magnus Bane was a favorite of mine in the other books and I jumped on the chance for more revolving around his life. I wasn’t disappointed. You see how much depth his character really has, because while his sarcastic humour and eccentric fashion is what first made me take notice, it was the shadowy feelings of love and loss which captured my attention.We see so much of both, meaning you won’t be hearing any complaints from me!All the individual stories were so interesting in their own ways, but my favourite had to be “The Course of True Love (And First Dates)†which features so much Malec (Magnus & Alec) that my inner fangirl rose to the surface and went crazy.This combination of the short stories is a fabulous edition to the Shadowhunter World that all fans of will love and must read.
This collection of short stories focuses on Magnus Bane and his exploits throughout the years.The authors seem to have ideas, but no real idea how to tie things up and end their stories. There is a lot of setup, a LOT of describing Magnus’s outfits, and some interesting plot ideas..... and then the stories just end abruptly with no conclusion.I love Magnus Bane and wanted to love this book, but it became a slog to get through the writing, I was continuously disappointed by the non-endings, and it got to the point where I was actually rolling my eyes at the endless descriptions of what he was wearing.Stick with her series, & skip this one, as it adds nothing to the Shadowhunters world.
If you liked the character of Magnus Bane throughout The Infernal Devices and The Shadowhunter series, then this book should be a must buy for you! Yeah, parts of it are a little annoying, as it makes you wish that you could read on and find out more, but as each part is essentially a short story, some are a little unresolved (like what happened in Peru). BUT... the insights this collection gives you into the character of Magnus Bane is incomparable! I absolutely adore this character, so I found them satisfying and enjoyable. I also like the little cartoon at the beginning of each part, and for me, having a physical copy of this book was worth importing it from the UK somewhere and waiting the three weeks it took to get it to me in AUS. Wishing that Cassandra Clare would tell us more about his future/past life. Happy reading!
I enjoyed so much reading more about Magnus's life...How he met Will's father, when Jocelyn brought Clary to him for the first time...how it went his first date with Alec. And also knowing more about his relationship with Camille, and his warlock friends. My favorite I guess I should say it is when he sees Will after 24 years...he helps Will's son, James, to go back to home and he encounter with Tessa and Will. It was so hear warming and one of the things i most like about this book, is that shows how much Magnus cared about Will and how many thing resembled him of Will.
Shadowhunters TV series led me wanting to read all the books regarding the shadowhunter universe, especially anything about my favorite characters Magnus and Alec. Malec lovers will find themselves even deeper in love with these two characters while reading "What To Buy The Shadowhunter Who Has Everything (And Who You're Not Officially Dating Anyway)" and "The Course of True Love (and First Dates)", two short stories in The Bane Chronicles dedicated to them.People would think that for one as powerful and experienced as Magnus, nothing could possibly hurt or touch him in the normal sense. On the contrary, he is just so sensitive and caring, though always putting on a nonchalant front. It's really heartbreaking to see that when shown a small act of kindness or acceptance, Magnus is so ready and willing to give so much more in return. I'm just so happy that he's found someone worthy of his heart in Alec.
