4.5 out of 5: What Really Happened in Peru by Cassandra Clare and Sarah Rees Brennan

What Really Happened in Peru (The Bane Chronicles #1) by Cassandra Clare and Sarah Rees Brennan

Summary:

Fans of The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices know that Magnus Bane is banned from Peru—and now they can find out why. One of ten adventures in The Bane Chronicles.

There are good reasons Peru is off-limits to Magnus Bane. Follow Magnus’s Peruvian escapades as he drags his fellow warlocks Ragnor Fell and Catarina Loss into trouble, learns several instruments (which he plays shockingly), dances (which he does shockingly), and disgraces his host nation by doing something unspeakable to the Nazca Lines.

This standalone e-only short story illuminates the life of the enigmatic Magnus Bane, whose alluring personality populates the pages of the #1 New York Times bestselling series, The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices series. This story in The Bane Chronicles, What Really Happened in Peru, is written by Sarah Rees Brennan and Cassandra Clare.

Review:

One of the best short stories I've read. I loved the idea of a small series about the magnificent Magnus Bane. I want to know so much more about the mysteries of Magnus's fabulous life.

Although this ebook was only $3 more/less, I wished there was more content to this short story. I think I was just disappointed by the big reveal to What Really Happened in Peru. I loved how Magnus goes on so many different adventures in Peru. He's a fun character to read about and I'm sure he's a fun character to write about too.

I can't wait until the next installments because we'll get to see the connections Magnus has with the other characters from The Mortal Instruments, The Infernal Devices and the mysterious TLH series Cassie is planning on writing!
