Finally, but how I wished it would continue.
Hello, dearies! 😍
Because when in doubt or in a reading slump turn to the shadow world, and they will make your life better. Lighter. Heart throbbing. Beautifully well-written, better.
Continue reading “The Red Scrolls of Magic”‘Word had spread throughout New York that Magnus was the warlock who would get you out of a jam. There was a Sanctuary, too, up in Brooklyn, if you needed to hide, but the witch who ran it didn’t solve your problems. Magnus solved problems. So why not get paid for it?’
Story: Saving Raphael Santiago

Book: The Bane Chronicles – Book #6
Genres: Vampires, Fantasy, YA, Short Story
Hello, dearies! 🦇
I’m trying a new thing for Thursdays or Fridays, a sort of Throwback post or Flashback, and I thought this one would be perfect for it as The Bane Chronicles is a throwback indeed or a flashback if you must, at least for me.
As Today is Thursday, this is the first Throwback Thursday book review, thoughts.
Saving Raphael Santiago it’s not all that engraved in my mind, don’t ask me why because I cannot recall, but it was of the stories in The Bane Chronicles, so of course, I had to read it.
Continue reading “The Bane Chronicles: Saving Raphael Santiago”‘At least a pretty flapper vampire talking nonsense was better than a slobbering drunk werewolf. Magnus nodded as if listening and mentally counted the bottles of brandy and rum in the storage shelves below the bar.’
The Bane Chronicles Book #5
Authors: Cassandra Clare & Maureen Johnson
Genre: Fantasy, YA, Short Stories, Paranormal, Vampires.
Hello, dearies! 🦇
With this one, The Rise of the Hotel Dumort, we jumped ahead in time to 1929, and not only that but New York, meaning the place where The Mortal Instruments will be lively, in the future; but we are still years away from that, and we experience the Hotel Dumort and what happened to it and their vampires. 🧛
This is a tale we wanted to know about from the TMI series, where we read about the Hotel and the past, and Magnus, so we go there and check out the events. I know I’m not saying that much, but this story is worth reading for the first time with an unbias look, so I’ll leave it to Magnus to tell you the story.
Continue reading “The Bane Chronicles: The Rise of the Hotel Dumort”The One that we didn’t see coming and after we read it, we fell in love with yet another Herondale boy.
The Bane Chronicles Book 4
Authors: Cassandra Clare & Sarah Rees Brennan
Genre: Fantasy, YA, Short Story, Magic, Urban.
Hello, dearies! Now, this one, wow. It’s one of my favourites in this collection. 🙂
It was supposed to be an easy one because I loved it, but thinking about the story, I remembered what it means for the rest of the shadowhunter world, and how anything I say may affect the story on the books that came after.
Mild spoilers ahead, you’ve been warned. 🖍️

The Banes Chronicles Book 3
Authors: Cassandra Clare & Sarah Rees Brennan
Genre: YA, fantasy, Short Story, Paranormal
Here we are once again, dearies! I trust all is going well on your end, and you’re enjoying these tidbits on The Bane Chronicles, or perhaps my other reviews, they’re all on the main page, as you might know.
Now, we’re on the 3rd story in The Bane Chronicles, the one where we see vampires and Herondales, and scones too. I will always enjoy a good Herondale story, but this one was set in 1857 when even Charlotte Fairchild was a young girl, and that just makes you think how old Magnus really is, but no matter, we already knew that.

The Bane Chronicles Book 2
Authors: Cassandra Clare & Maureen Johnson
Genres: Fantasy. YA.
It’s not easy writing about what you have read years ago, but I do my best here. The Runaway Queen is the second story in The Bane Chronicles, the compilation about Magnus Bane life before and some after he met Alec, and from the time we read about Magnus in The Mortal Instruments, we wanted to know this kind of story since he is quite old and had many things to tells us throughout the books.

Total Badass chick and Shadowhunter warrior.
Total Badass chick and Shadowhunter warrior.
Names: Isabelle Lightwood. Izzy. Iz.
Will not talk about Emeurade Toubia, awesome girl who portrayed her on Shadowhunters TV, mostly because Izzy’s story on the show was so completely weird, and twisted at various points, they changed the character.
But in the books? Warrior. A great role-model. Funny. Compassionate. Passionate. Hot. I mean, Izzy is one of the first characters you fall for in the books, even before, Alec and Jace, or Clary, who I didn’t like very much at first.
“There were valuable first editions of books in the enormous library, most of them had been scribbled in by some idiot named Will H.”
World: Shadowhunters
Books: The Dark Artifices, Ghosts of the Shadow Market
Alright, I am going to do it. I have to do it. If you do not know who Christopher Herondale is, then by all means either do not read this one or read away because you want some Spoiler from The Dark Artifices and The Lost Herondale legend.
Spoilers ahead.
It took me a while to read this one, but I did so enjoyed it and in the end, it led to what we already knew. But while reading The Wicked Ones, I was actually trying to remember about what little information I had on Céline Montclaire.
Book: Ghosts of the Shadow Market
Authors: Cassie Clare & Robin Wasserman
Genre: Fantasy, Romance, Drama
It took me a while to read this one, but I did so enjoyed it and in the end, it led to what we already knew. But while reading The Wicked Ones, I was actually trying to remember about what little information I had on Céline Montclaire and as such I will now share my in-the-moment thoughts.
If you haven’t read this short story or don’t know about The Mortal Instruments story, I suggest you don’t continue because there are some spoilers here.
You have been warned.

There is so much to say, and I better give it to you straight and without delay, this is mostly my thoughts while reading, immediately after, or right in the middle of things, so pardon my scattered ramblings, but it had to be like this.
