The Bane Chronicles
review 1: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this installment in the Magnus Bane series.We see Magnus encounter Valentine and his Circle... and we see Jocelyn bringing baby Clary to Magnus, begging his help to keep Clary from knowing her heritage or seeing that world.It's stark, realistic, sad, dangerous, scary, and downright ugly. It really brings us full-circle in the Magnus story, although there's one installment left in his chronicles. But I got some of what I've been missing in the TMI series - the feel of "you are there" in the early days of Valentine and his Circle.The authors don't take a heavy-handed approach, which helps us, the readers, to truly grasp the horror and magnitude of Valentine in his heyday. It's so easy to see Valentine in the role of the Hitler of the Shadowhunters - not beca... moreuse we're forced to see it, but because we experience it through Magnus' eyes.We also see those in the Circle, including Luke and Stephen Herondale... we see their misguided zeal, and yet we're gently shown how they made their own choices. No blaming He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named or some cruciatus curse for forcing them.In fact, we see the event that led to the splintering of the Circle, where some of Valentine's followers start to question him in the light of Magnus' logic.Powerful book in this world, not just in Magnus' series.
review 2: By far the best eBook I've read after The Midnight Heir.Basically,the shadow world is a small world in Magnus Bane's point of view at least. A person who have lived a hundred of years indeed experienced a troubled yet amusing life. It's just so amazing how the authors--who helped wrote those stories of Magnus Bane--really connects the main series into these 10 eBooks stories and it really brought me feels when I read it oh my god. I wish Clary and Jace will soon have a baby so that the Herondale family lives on and Tessa's suffering won't vanish in vain. less
