Well, this was nice. I admit I wasn't exactly looking forward to reading this, but I'm glad I did.
The Bane Chronicles, ah these books are so good. Better than TFTSA anyway.
I'm starting to like Raphael a lot more now, though I wouldn't call myself a stan at any point. I just like him more than I did before, which wasn't much to begin with. And RAGNOr, oh my god. I miss Ragnor Fell so much, I still cry over his death in CoG. I'm glad he and Raphael had a bonding of sorts, and even though Ragnor has stated to like boobs, ,,,,, I think I ship him with Raphael. They're both dead anyway.
Great book, made me laugh frequently and Magnus and Raphael's friendship slash bickering was beautiful.

This book was great because Raphael is a little shit. And he's really funny. I appreciated the way that he and Ragnor make fun of Magnus, that made me laugh.
But really? Magnus gets a really bad rap earlier on in the original series, but he's done a lot of shit to help other characters in the past.

This was really funny, but then I remembered "The City of Heavenly Fire" .

Why couldn't a dark woman be beautiful, comparing her to a blonde? That irked me from the get go and came across a bit racist, even though I'm fairly sure that wasn't the case. The story was good though. I liked the mystery element of this story and found the villain to be abhorrent. Magnus was such a good guy (as always) and I felt bad for Raphael. Poor kid! Very committed though. He clearly had a big impact on Lily.

This story just really highlights the great character of Magnus Bane. He is quickly becoming my favorite.
