In my opinion one of Cassies best books. I loved it. ( )
  Megan_Demers | Jan 27, 2024 |
I really did like this read. I actually prefer book 2 to the first book in this series. I really loved how we got the OG shadowunter gang back for this read. I also loved how to explored a time period that we have not seen before directly after simon time in the shadow hunter academy. I was much more invested in the mystery this time. This book def made me smile but it is also super funny. I really liked how this story built magnus and alec realtionship. I also like how this book forced Mangus to use a team and really loved the setting. I also really liked the villain and loved how magnus past was also at the heart of it. I can't wait for book 3. ( )

This deserves more than five stars because no duh its a Cassie Clare Book! I have been waiting ages! Malec has always been the best ship ever and we all know that I freaking love Magnus. After reading Bane Chronicles, I just wanted more! After reading Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, I kept wondering "What about Malec" I hate how this series is getting so much hate because if this is ongoing how does it matter? If you do not like it do not read it. Its fairly simple ya know? Listen, Life Goes On right? So why should these characters stop living? I want to know about Max and about Raphael. I want to know if they adopt more kids. I want to know what happens after Alec dies. Then I want another series about who Magnus ends up with after Alec dies. I ant to know if Magnus ends up with Alecs descendent. I want to know what happens ith Jace and Clary. I want a freaking Malec wedding. So by all means Cassie Clare keep on continuing for the next fifty years! Can we also talk about how Jace just cracks me up! Ahahaaahah.....CASSIE CLARE KEEP ON WRITING. ( )

Book description
Life is good for Magnus Bane and Alec Lightwood. They’re living together in a fabulous loft, their warlock son, Max, has started learning to walk, and the streets of New York are peaceful and quiet—as peaceful and quiet as they ever are, anyway.

Until the night that two old acquaintances break into Magnus’s apartment and steal the powerful Book of the White. Now Magnus and Alec will have to drop everything to get it back. They need to follow the thieves to Shanghai, they need to call some backup to accompany them, and they need a babysitter.

Also, someone has stabbed Magnus with a strange magical weapon and the wound is glowing, so they have that to worry about too.

Fortunately, their backup consists of Clary, Jace, Isabelle, and newly minted Shadowhunter Simon. In Shanghai, they learn that a much darker threat awaits them. Magnus’s magic is growing unstable, and if they can’t stop the demons flooding into the city, they might have to follow them all the way back to the source—to the very realm of the dead. Can they stop the threat to the world? Will they make it back home before their kid completely wears out Alec’s mom?
