Bane Chronicles (4) - Midnight Heir by Cassandra Clare & Sarah Rees Brennan
Part $: The advertisment for The Last Hours: Midnight Heir by Cassandra Clare & Sarah Rees Brennan (Tochter der Finsternis, L'héritier de minuit) I read it in the German equivalent to the Bane Chronicles Volume where it contained 60 pages. Originally published 2014.
The first time in ages Magnus is back in London – and runs into Tessa Grey’s offspring, of all the people! James is just like his father – and he’s in love with a Blackthorn ward, who thinks of herself as a sword…
This whole Heronadle-ish tendence of thinking they are all so bad gets old. And I wonder what the storyline of this short-story is supposed to be. Apart from advertising for The Last Hours.
Seriously! Could you please be so kind as to only advertise books you already published or you plan to publish in NEAR future??? This is unfair!
I want to know how this plays out! Especially Lucy and James… the pedigree of Tessa suggests that James does not end up with Grace. I’d like to know what will happen… And I’d like to know more about Grace, why she thinks she’s a sword, what happened to her family et cetera…
By the way, it doesn't make any sense for Tatiana to still wear that dress. Even if she clings to her pain with a death grip, she had such a thing as servants who would have thrown it in the trash before she knew what hit her. And she was raised as a human girl in that time: She would never have presented herself in such a fashion.
In brief:
One star for style, one for characters (especially Grace is astonishing), one for the ideas and one for the story.
Prequel:
Vampires, Scones and Edmund Herondale
Sequel:
