A review by lissherondale
The Red Scrolls of Magic by Wesley Chu, Cassandra Clare
4.0
Very solid 4 stars.
I loveeeed seeing Alec and Magnus in their early stages of their relationship. So cute and innocent! I loved every single escene.
About the plot line, well it wasn´t new or that exciting, it was a little bit of predictive. And sometimes it was a little bit of slow pace. Even though it's a great book and fun, and with good action scenes and love and we still learn about this world.
I read this after finishing Queen of Air of Darkness (TDA #3) so many characters are dead in TDA but of course alive in The Red Scrolls, so it was nice to come to back to them and see them interact.
Love seeing Raphael, it broke my heart that he was sending messages to Ragnor, and the end of the book my my, poor boy. I know everything will work out at the ending but maybe for years he suffers. And maybe Ragnor will never see Raphael again. Damn that is sad shit.
Oh! Helen and Aline! Loveeee them, they were always one of my favorites couple in the Shadowhunter Chronicles. And seeing them met and talk and everything was so cute and funny. Helen is very different here than TDA. Here is more agressive and in TDA is more passive and cautious. Perhaps all the lost and trauma made her that way, because here Helen is the boosssss and in TDA Aline is the boooosss.
I really expect more development in Alec and Magnus character and relationship throught the whole series, I want to keep reading more.
And I'm very exciting to read more about this plot that is changing.
