The Bane Chronicles (The Bane Chronicles #1-11)

The Bane Chronicles is one of my favorite books all-time. So, naturally, I gave the story five stars. Not that Audible can take credit for Cassandra Clares marvelous work. I was really excited to read it again through Audible because some of Audibles performances are simply amazing. But I cant really say the same for this narration. First of all, having different narrators for Magnus really put me off. Im okay if Magnus doesnt sound like Magnus or that Alec has a British accent (okay, not really, that one crossed the line) or that Isabelle sounds like a little girl or…that… no one sounds like the characters. But secondly, its just way to much if the voices of the narrator and Magnus are constantly changing. It just makes me feel as if there are multiple main characters under the name of Magnus Bane. So you cant call this the read-aloud version of The Bane Chronicles, because this Audible contradicts the book. In the book, Magnuss voice is deeper than Alecs, Izzy talks with fierceness and defiance, without the tone of a bratty teenager. And Clary doesnt talk like that either. So really, this has just been a bad experience for me and may have ruined my vision of the Shadowhunter world forever. Thank you oh so very much for reading my review.

This book (compilation of short stories), especially the last entry was by far my favorite of all of the series. The levity and complexity if Mr. Bane is explored with through and clever glimpses into his history. Any fan of the books will love this! Some narrators are better than others and some stories more enjoyable.. But overall it\’s a great collection!

I found that they perfectly captured my vision of The high warlock of Brooklyn. I loved the idea to write a book dedicated to just the characters! Magnus Bane will always hold a special place in my heart!

Each time I listen to this book , I always learn something new.

This contains several short stories that brilliantly flesh out the gaps in Cassandra Clare\’s books. If you love the Mortal Instruments AND The Infernal Devices, then you\’ll appreciate most of the short stories, but be prepared for some of them (especially early on) to sound like bad fan fiction.
