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.

I love magnus and Raphael. I really liked how there was real world things mixed in. I just loved seeing more or Magnus and his life. Some stories were better than others though.

Out of all the characters in the Shadowhunters world, Magnus Bane is definitely my favorite. So of course I was thrilled to see an entire book devoted to short stories about Magnus's life. He's a colorful character who lived his life on his own terms, no matter what period of time it was in. The stories ranged from the 1700s to nearly present day, and I loved seeing snippets of different times throughout his life. Some of the stories were important moments in Shadowhunter and Downworlder history, others were important moments in actual real-world history, some were important parts of Magnus's life, and some were just fun stories. But each was told with Magnus's characteristic flair, humor, and amazing sense of fashion.
