The Bane
Chronicles #9
Synopsis
In the time of the Uprising,
Valentine’s Circle goes after Downworlders in New York...and the Shadowhunters
of the Institute must decide whether to join him, or fight with Magnus and his
kind. This is the first time Magnus sees Jocelyn, Luke, and Stephen – but not
the last. It is not long before Jocelyn seeks him out...
Mini-review
I’ve been stretching these out
for a while, but it’s time to finish of The
Bane Chronicles. Through the Mortal Instruments, we often hear about the
Circle, young Valentine and the Uprising, but seeing it is very strange. Seeing
Luke as Lucian Graymark, unfailingly and blindingly loyal to Valentine until
the point of Valentine torturing a child was so wrong. Seeing descendents and
predecessors of much-loved characters fighting for something so evil *shudder*
But there’s also a healthy dose
of Tessa in The Last Stand of the New
York Institute. Her friendship with Magnus seems a lot more real here and I
loved that they were watching the Colin Firth Pride and Prejudice as it aired and waiting on Chinese. So normal. And then Jocelyn arrives with a
two year old Clary. It was amazing how clearly her personality was coming
through already: stubbornness, trust in good and a dangerous curiosity. It made
me heart go all gooey.
Okay, and now I only have one
left. Think I’m going to save it for a while, actually...
Calm as a Stupid
Feather, Keris Stainton
Pages: 59
Publisher: Amazon Media
Release Date: 18th August 2014
Synopsis
More of
Harry and Joe’s weird* and hilarious comments and quotes.
*Joe’s
are particularly weird and sometimes a bit scary. Don’t worry – he’s just
eccentric. And five.
Mini-review
Of the
half an hour that it took me to read Calm
as a Stupid Feather I spent at least 29.5 minutes of it crying with
laughter. I sounded demented. And possibly like I was choking. I kept having to
stop and read quotes to aloud to my sister but I couldn’t physically say them
as I was laughing too much.
You
should all have this on permanent standby for whenever you feel miserable - it'll sort you right out.

Cass has spent a long time
trying to get over her first love Nick. But when they run into each other in
the airport and end up on the same flight to New York, the chemistry between
them is off the chart. But there is something Cass is holding back. Will Cass
finally get revenge on the boy who broke her heart?
Mini-review
Esme Taylor’s love for New York
is obvious and infectious. The way even the most banal of New York sights are a
marvel and, God, I want to go. Baby, One
More Time is sexy, fun and touching and I loved it. Also, did I mention how
much it made me want to go to New York? Oh, I did? Well, I’ll tell you again:
NEW YORK.
