Book Review:
The Bane
Chronicles by Cassandra Clare, Sarah Rees Brennan, and Maureen Johnson is
an extra to both The Mortal Instruments
and The Infernal Devices series. It’s about important life events of one of the
most interesting and mysterious characters in the books; a powerful warlock
named Magnus Bane. There’s 11 stories to explain how he came to be who he is,
how he formed relationships with certain people, where he’s stood in positions
of power and important events, just many different components to his character.
It answers a lot of what hadn’t been said about him.
I found this book read like a movie more than anything. I didn’t particularly relate with any characters, but it was entertaining and made me want to keep reading more. I liked how there was a lot of humour to it but kept it serious enough to have a story to it. In the previous mentioned series, there were many instances where an event would be mentioned but not fully explained. Many of those events were explained in The Bane Chronicles. I would recommend this book if you have read the other series. It was a fun and entertaining read and I enjoyed it.
