What listeners say about The Bane Chronicles

Highly rated for:

The Bane Chronicles Is A Collection Of Short Stories That Delve Into The Life And Adventures Of The Beloved Warlock Magnus Bane From The Shadowhunter Universe. Many Readers Found The Stories Engaging, Humorous, And Insightful, Providing Entertaining Glimpses Into Magnus's Past And Filling In Gaps From The Main Book Series.

Despite Some Contradictory Details, The Stories Explore Magnus's Compelling Character, His Relationships With Friends Like Ragnor And Catarina, And His Experiences As A Downworlder Throughout History. Overall, Fans Of Cassandra Clare's Books Enjoyed This Entertaining Collection That Expands The Rich Shadowhunter World.

A brilliant collection

A briliant collection of short stories, chronicling events in the very long life of Warlock Magnus Bane. They are hilarious stories set in the world of Shadowhunters and Downworlders, from Peru, Paris, London and New York. They also fill in some of the history that is not fully revealed in the books series and are an excellent companion to The Infernal Devices and Mortal Instruments. Great to see they are now available as 1 book and includes an extra bonus story of phone messages to Magnus Bane, which is probably the funniest of all the short stories. All the narrators performed brilliantly as well.

Great Stories

The stories were fantastic. The first couple were a bit slow and meandering, but the remainder of them really filled in A LOT of gaps in the Shadow Hunter storyline. Lots and lots of insight there. MOST of the narrators were excellent, however there a one or two that made the stories drag at an excruciatingly painful rate. I almost skipped "Fall of the Hotel Dumort" read by Cecil Baldwin. It's a great story, but horribly narrated. As a stand alone series, the remainder are very good and worth the time and investment.

Love

I listen to these short stories over and over because I'm hungry for more of the backstory. There was one story that I didn't like the way it was read but I still listen to it. Magnus Bane is one of my favorite characters from the series.

More Magnus Please!

I can't get enough of Magnus Bane! This character is strong, hilarious, loveable, and down right EXTRA. I loved every moment of it. Even with the various narrators, Magnus Bane always shown through. I am eagerly awaiting the upcoming series centered around him.
