this book was so extra i liked it 🤍
this is actually the first book i finished in months after being busy with uni and it took me a lot of time to get through it. magnus is one of my favorite characters, and the stories this novella had to tell were extremely hilarious and had me choking for air, but at the same time nostalgic and made me teary-eyed. it brought me home to my shadowhunters, i felt the comfort and pain of reading about will, jem, and tessa, and i loved how magnus explored romance in the centuries he lived through before he met alec. it also was reflective, in a way to read about magnus’ realizations and the lessons he learned the hard way during the course of his life.
just wanna know if we’ll ever get a tessa novella like this one? 🤩

Magnus was always my fave character in all the series. Learning more backstory was amazing and I loved the connection between history and fiction. Cassandra clare is an evil genius connecting The mortal instruments with The infernal devices as well!!

Some of these stories were funny, some were sad, and a few were really sweet. I loved seeing Magnus through out history and learning more about him. Highly recommend reading this to fully appreciate Magnus Bane and just how wrapped up he is and has been in the Shadowhunter world.
