    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.

    The Bane Chronicles: The Rise of the Hotel Dumort

    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.

    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 Bane Chronicles: Vampires, Scones, and Edmund Herondale

    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: The Runaway Queen

    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.

    How do you write a review about a book this size without losing some of its charm on the way? I do not know, so I decided to do it story by story, because I can and because every story in The Bane Chronicles deserves to have a little piece here.
