Just read this today! So far, I like this one the best of the continuing Bane Chronicles. <3 Magnus forever!

Meglio della prima, molto meglio :D
Magnus ha una qualche predilezione per i mori con gli occhi azzurri, non l'avevamo capito :p.
In alcuni punti mi ha ricordato un pezzo di Intervista col vampiro, anche se l'epoca era diversa un pezzo di quel libro era ambientato a Parigi e, parlando di vampiri, me l'ha ricordato *-*.
Si va in crescendo! :D

I must say that I preferred the first story to the secondary.. I just didn't feel that this one was particularly interesting or humorous...
In this second short story we learn of Magnus's part in the French Revolution and a bit about the vampire clan in Paris. As I said this particular story was not all that interesting but I can't say that I didn't enjoy it and since it was quite short anyways I'm glad that I read it.

Better Than the first story, but still not great. This one was much more cohesive than the last as it's one storyline rather than random scenes in Peru. I do love Magnus, but so far this book isn't giving me what I want. Still an enjoyable read though, but again, forgettable.

Lectura 2 del reto de lectura de la obra de Cassandra Clare organizado por este grupo.
Primera: The Bane Chronicles #1.
3.5/5.
He de admitir que poco a poco me está gustando un poco más este compendio de relatos sobre Magnus. Me ha interesado bastante más que el anterior, y he de decir que ha sido más rápido de leer únicamente porque tiene una historia de la que quieres saber más. A pesar de que en el anterior nos encontrábamos en Perú, en este Magnus nos cuenta sus andanzas en París.
Con el mismo tono irónico y desenfadado, con una narrativa más estructurada, la verdad es que este relato no parece sacado ni del mismo libro. En cualquier caso, habría disfrutado de ver más sobre los vampiros, aunque el ambiente me ha convencido mucho y en general, lo he pasado bien leyéndolo.

Gah. And then GoodReads ate my review for this one after I wrote it up. Lets see if I can do a fast split out on it all again.
Installment two! We are now out of Peru and into Paris. We engage politics with both Downworlders and with crossing into the French Revolution (as a lot of this has to do with, as the title says, "The Runaway Queen," of whom we're speaking of it's not too hard to guess then). I loved that in this one we got more into intruige and magic, into the political lines of who can do what, when, with who, and why, especially under what rulers, at what "seen" and "unseen" levels of society.
More to come with more stories!
