The Bane Chronicles
Authors: Cassandra Clare, Sarah Rees Brennan and Maureen Johnson
Genre: Collection of Short Stories ( in this case short novellas )
It is not easy being Magnus Bane. As a warlock, he is often called upon to fix the problems of others. His life has been long, and his loves have been many. And Magnus has a way of being at the right place at the right - or perhaps wrong - time. The French Revolution, The Prohibition, the first great battle between Valentine and the New York Institute. . . Magnus was there, and usually in the middle of it. Magnus will never be able to tell all of his tales. No one would believe him. But these eleven stories shed a little light on his often inscrutable character. They are stories he probably wishes had never got out.
The Bane Chronicles is filled with Magnus Banes' adventures, sometimes one or both of his warlock friends, Ragnor Fell and Catarina Loss, accompany him. There's What really happened in Peru, which is the back story on why Magnus was banned from Peru which he briefly mentioned in the Mortal Instruments series. The Midnight Heir is where Magnus reunites with old friends, Will Herondale and Tessa Gray as well as one of two of there children, James Herondale. The stories also tells us that Magnus really likes having a pet monkey and cats he loves cats.
I recommend The Bane Chronicles to people that have read both The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices to understand a few but not many things though it is not necessary to. It's filled with with sass, sarcasm and a bromance between Raphael Santiago and Ragnor Fell. I think The Bane Chronicles is definitely the comedic relief between The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices even if there is already enough sass is those series. I give it a 10/ 10.
