Geschreven bij The Bane Chronicles (1-10)
Magnus is my favorite character from the Mortal Instruments series (yes there it is I said it!) and no one can imagine how excited I was to see the Bane Chronicles coming out! And it came out, at least in the Netherlands(apparently Magnus has Dutch blood in his veins yaay) on my birthday! Of course I pre-ordered it and of course I got it way later then expected. But that's not the point.
I really loved all the stories in The Bane Chronicles and I loved that they were set in different places around the world and different era's. I could imagine Magnus walking through the rain forest or through the desert and wanting to be a cactus as much as I could imagine him as a punk in England. Before I started reading the stories I hoped there are going to be stories about him and Alec and I wasn't disappointed. I would have been happy if there would be only stories about Magnus and Alec however the other stories made this book so much more fantastic and interesting and I felt like the readers could get to really know Magnus as he was before he met Alec.
Magnus is such an amazing character. He is so funny and sarcastic and he does and says things that make you think he's crazy like out of nothing he decides to become a detective or learn to play an instrument. I love him for the way he is and the way he thinks and what he says (or rather what Mrs. Clare has him say). Things like "Are we going to talk about boys?..I didn't realize, and I am honestly not prepared. Can't you come over another time, when I'm in my jammies? We could do homemade facials and braid each other's hair, and then and only then will I tell you that I think your brother is totally dreamy." or "If Jace was gold, catching the light and the attention, Alec was silver: so used to everyone else looking at Jace that that was where he looked too, so used to living in Jace's shadow that he didn't expect to be seen. Maybe it was enough to be the first person to tell Alec that he was worth being seen ahead of anyone in a room, and of being looked at longest. And silver, though few people knew it, was a rarer metal than gold." make Magnus and of course Cassandra Clare so brilliant.
I will always love Magnus as a character and what he's like but also that he feels responsible to the world to be gorgeous and therefore wears tight pants :D
