Tales of the High Warlock

The Bane Chronicles by Cassandra Clare

Five hundred seven glorious pages of everyone's favorite warlock, Magnus Bane. This is a collection of short stories that give you some more information about Magnus, but also ties into the Infernal Devices and Mortal Instruments series.

Magnus has led an interesting life. He spent a great deal of time in Peru before getting kicked out of the country for reasons I am still unclear on. He was instrumental in the debacle that was an attempt at Marie Antoinette, et al, escaping France during the revolution. Magnus is definitely a lover and not a fighter, but has friends in all walks of life: vampires, werewolves, warlocks, demons and Shadowhunters. He owned a speakeasy and has had a very interesting 300+ years on Earth.

This was definitely worth the read for me because Magnus is one of my favorite characters in both of the aforementioned series of books. I do hope he makes an appearance in both of Ms. Clare's upcoming series.
