Review of The Red Scrolls of Magic (The Eldest Curses #1) by Cassandra Clare and Wesley Chu


This book is from the #1 bestseller author Cassandra Clare and award winner author Wesley Chu with a new book to the series that follows the High Warlock Magnus Bane and Alec Lightwood as they take a tour after the Mortal War. The Red Scrolls of Magic is a new type of shadowhunter novel centred on the dynamic and fascinating character.

All Magnus Bane wanted after all of the trials of war was a vacation, a lavish and amazing trip to Europe with the love of his life Alec Lightwood, the shadowhunter who against all odds is finally his boyfriend. As soon as the pair start to settle in Paris for the first leg of the vacation, an old friend of Magnus's arrives with news about a demon-worshipping cult called the Crimson Hand that is bent of causing unimaginable chaos across the world. This is a cult that has apparently been founded by Magnus himself ... years and years ago, as a joke.

Now Magnus and Alec must race across Europe to track down the Crimson Hand and its elusive new leader before the cult can cause any more damage to the mundane world. If it was not bad enough that their romantic getaway has been side-tracked, demons are now dogging their every step, and it is becoming harder to tell who is a friend and who is an enemy. As the quest for answers becomes increasingly dire and Magnus and Alec will have had to trust each other more than ever ... even if it means revealing the secrets that they have both been keeping.

I loved this novella and how we get an insight into the dynamics of this wonderful couple. I have fallen in love with this couple and enjoyed the way that they have developed as a couple and the interactions that they have. I have loved to watch Alec fight for his right to be with the person that his loves. I want more of this story and can not wait to see where this love affair goes after this and when and if they ever get married.
