INTRODUCTION

 

we have

a disaster bi flirting with every guy and gal on sight,

a salty green guy and a sarcastic child joining up to insult the mc,

and a flustered gay

this all makes ✨ the babe chronicles ✨

 

Hi, I’m Eesha Samantray from the Samantray Post, and today I’m reviewing my most awaited book to read this month – The Bane Chronicles!



I really love the comic strips of a scene at the beginning of each short story. The art style is amazing and it really is unique.

This book is a collection of short stories following our favourite warlock; Magnus Bane!

I’m excited to see my second favourite character’s adventures, and (hopefully) some Malec!

 

~ What Really Happened In Peru ~

 

I love Ragnor. We barely saw him in the Infernal Devices and he was dead in the Mortal Instruments, but here he’s the saltiest warlock alive.

The short story is like a short compilation of Magnus’s time in Peru, but at the end they never say why he’s banned? And Magnus doesn’t even know either.

Anyway, I’d like to talk about one of the times he went to Peru.

Magnus is practicing an instrument because of an instructor he liked. But everyone hates his music. Finally, even his crush broke down and was like ‘I love you but I can’t hold it back; you’re music fricking sucks’, then he goes on roasting his music. Like, damn.

Well, anyway, Imasu breaks his heart later. Ironically his reason was that Magnus didn’t seem “permanent”.

Hun…

“”I’m surprised it lasted this long; he was much better looking than you,” mumbled Ragnor.”

Holy shit Ragnor is one of my favourite characters.

And then Magnus gets drunk and wants to become a cactus.

I really love this story; Magnus was fabulous as always and ‘twas just so fun reading it.

 

~ The Runway Queen ~

 

I love how every story Magnus flirts with every handsome man and woman.

This short story is about Marie Antoinette and a hot air balloon.

Also, Magnus has a Count love interest.

Pretty coo, right?

Context: Magnus gets asks by Mr. Count gay (sorry meant guy) to save the queen and king. Magnus glamours her successfully, but the bish gets lost and goes to the vampire party Magnus was at, and he had to save her, making him banned from Paris.

But at least he got a kiss from Mr. Count gay.

This guy keeps getting banned from places, geez.

Not one of my favourite stories, but still love it.

 

~ Vampires, Scones And Edmund Herondale ~

 

This has so much ties to the Infernal Devices and I love it.

Edmund Herondale is Will’s dad, and quickly becomes friends with Magnus.

I hate Camille, but seeing her and Magnus flirt in front of the Clave was so funny.

Edmund falls in love with a mundane girl and wants to stop being a Shadowhunter to be with her.

Ralf Scott – You can see Camille starting to fall in love with him and vice versa. We know De Quincy kills him later, leaving his brother Woolsey Scott to be the head of the pack.

I really love this short story.

 

~ The Midnight Heir ~

 

This short story has the first appearance of James Herondale; son of Will Herondale and Tessa Grey, along with his parents.

He’s drunk and Magnus has to take him back to his parents.

I love this story because we see grown up Will and Tessa being parents, and an appearance of Jem!

I love this.

 

~ The Rise Of The Hotel Dumort ~

 

Apparently, it was owned by a crazy warlock who want to go to the demon dimension.

We see Magnus hearing his dad…so that’s fun.

But what I really want to get into is the next story.

 

~ Saving Raphael Santiago ~

 

This story was a ride.

A woman comes to Magnus, telling him of a vampire whose kidnapping children and makes him swear to save her son; Raphael. He tracks him to the Hotel Dumort, and sees a vampire feeding on a child, who dies.

Magnus demands the vampire if it was Raphael, but then the vamp reveals that he is Raphael Santiago.

Apparently, Raphael

 

 killed the vampire who Turned him, which even Magnus admits he’s never heard of anyone who did that. So, he’s pretty powerful. Also, he was FIFTEEN. Move over Camille, Raphael is the most powerful vampire.

So, Magnus practically raises Raphael for years to control his impulses so that he can see his family again.

I love Raphael. The face that Ragnor and him became besties over insulting Magnus.

No, we’re not going to talk about the fact he’s dead.

 

~ The Fall Of The Hotel Dumort ~

 

So, all the vampires are on crack and are attacking mundanes.

And Magnus saves everyone as usual.

Not my favourite story, but still good.

 

~ What To Buy The Shadowhunter Who Has Everything ~

{ And Who You’re Not Officially Dating }

 

I LOVE THIS SHORT STORY. MY SECOND FAVOURITE.

Magnus is just gushing over Alec in this story…and I’m not complaining.

The Malec in this…

I love him asking Catarina and Ragnor what to get Alec for his 18th birthday. I’ve been WAITING for Malec for 7 SHORT STORIES and it’s been worth it.

I love Magnus constantly wishing Alec being with him. And all the while I’m like ‘Honey, you’re in love.’

He thinks about their date at Taki’s, where Alec stands up to protect Magnus from a werewolf, and Magnus is smitten.

And the demon gets a special mention; he was so funny.

Izzy comes to give Magnus her number so that if anything happens to Alec, she’d tell him. I LOVE THIS. Izzy and Magnus friendship go!

And Alec appears in the end, wanting to be with Magnus for his birthday. I can’t- Oh my god.

 

~ The Last Stand Of The New York Institute ~

 

Damn, Luke was an asshole, but at least he changed at the end.

Magnus goes to a werewolf place, where Valentine and his Circle are going to kill innocent werewolves.

He sees Stephen Herondale, a reminder of Will and Edmund, but his corrupt nature making Magnus hate him.

Luke swears the wolves have done wrong, believing Valentine’s lies, while Magnus asks them what they’re fighting for.

“”I am fighting for a better world for myself and my son,” said the woman named Maryse.

“I have no interest in the world you want,” Magnus told her. “Or in your doubtless repellent brat.””

Who’s gonna tell him?

Magnus fights Valentine, but he scythes his legs. Valentine kills a werewolf child, making Luke think about how cruel his Parabatai is.

It was amazing to see characters do bad things that we only heard about. But now I want to fan-girl over the next story.

 

~ The Course Of True Love ~

{ And First Dates }

 

Magnus wakes up and panics that he agreed to go on a date with a Shadowhunter, and calls Catarina to be an escape from the date if it turns bad.

Alec turns up an hour late because of Jace (Damn you, Jace. You’re still a cockblock in the books)

 


GAH! I love this, and totally agree.

Magnus gives Alec a drink and he immediately drops it on his shirt. My clumsy baby. But at least we got Magnus being dumbstruck by Alec’s shirtless body.



It reminds of that show scene:

 



 

They go on the subway to their date, but Magnus almost gets mugged.






This is amazing.

Magnus makes a mistake by bringing Alec to a Downworlder restaurant, so everyone’s like ‘Ew, Shadowhunter! Frick off!’

And the waiter almost poisons Alec. And as if the date could not be spoiled more, a faeirie ex of Magnus comes in and splashes Magnus in the face with water.

Catarina calls and Magnus thinks its an exit for him, but Catarina’s like ‘No idiot this is an actually emergency! Bring your Shadowhunter boyfriend!’



My pure babies!

Malec pinned the werewolf together (power couple!!!) Alec comforts the girl that she didn’t want to hurt anyone and Magnus is smitten.

Malec kiss and its amazing. They agree to see each other again, and Alec falls down some stairs.

My clumsy baby!

 

~ The Voice Mail Of Magnus Bane ~

 

Wow, the only acceptable one is Clary’s (surprising I know) because the others were Isabelle being “Date my brother or else”.

 

MY FINAL THOUGHTS

 

I LOVED THIS BOOK! Magnus was magnificent as always and it was absolutely amazing to see him as a main character.

Obviously, the main reason I love this book is malec. They were so sweet and touching; and definitely my favourite parts!

This is the first time I immediately want to reread a book immediately after finishing it.

That’s it! Hope you enjoyed my review.

If you haven’t, check out my ‘the mortal instruments’ review part one and two.

Today we’re reviewing the Percy Jackson series! I don’t think I can criticize this series (but then again do I ever criticize books on this blog?) but I can gush about it! I’m aiming to read the book in one day! Yes, I haven’t read it yet. But, at the end of the day (or when I finish the book) I’ll be back to review it! *** Hey guys! I’m back after reading the whole book. It was 3:00 when I started the book and now (checks clock) it is 6:50! PM, by the way, I’m not an early-morning reader. Anyway, let’s start. I have nothing to say about the plot, other than I enjoyed it and loved Percy’s narrative. But when they start off on their quest. Argus is a Percabeth shipper!!!! That’s all I have to say on the first half of the book....

a very very short review of heartstopper

  A very very short review of  h e a r t s t o p p e r Finally! It’s the show starring the ship; 𝓰𝓸𝓵𝓭𝓮𝓷 𝓻𝓮𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓻 × 𝓰𝓪𝔂 𝓯𝓸𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓽 𝓰𝓾𝓶𝓹 Hi guys, it’s Eesha Samantray from the Samantray Post and today we’re reviewing HEART STOPPER , a tv adaptation of the graphic novel series. I watched the show without reading the books, and then went on webtoon and read the first two novels, then watched the show again. It’s a really well-done adaptation – I actually found out while reading the books, that most of the scenes were straight out of the books. All the changes were very welcome to me – like more drama, which was bound to happen as it was adapted into a show – including adding some new characters; Imogen, who I was very surprised by the turn they took with her character and how I loved her, and of course, one of the best characters; Isaac. He was just in the background reading his books, which is most likely to be me, as much as I’d li...

i hate teresa, she can die a brutal death

  𝓲 𝓱𝓪𝓽𝓮 𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓪 , 𝓼𝓱𝓮 𝓬𝓪𝓷 𝓭𝓲𝓮 𝓪 𝓫𝓻𝓾𝓽𝓪𝓵 𝓭𝓮𝓪𝓽𝓱 Hey guys, it’s Eesha Samantray from The Samantray Post ! Today we’re reviewing THE SCORCH TRIALS , the second book of the Maze Runner series. I’ll sum it up; this book wasn’t good. The first book was phenomenal, but this book was…eh. Yes, there were twists – mostly involving Teresa, who I’ll talk about a bit later. But it just wasn’t good. People would tell you the exact reason why this book isn’t good, but those people aren’t reviewing this book I’ll tell you what scared the heebie-jeebies outta me: “Rose took my nose, I suppose. It really blows.” No context, sorry. You know if you know. Now let’s talk about what I really wanted to talk about: ~Teresa~ I fricken hate this girl. Don’t give me crap about ‘She’s doing it for humanity and Thomas.’ She made it clear that she’s with WICKED. And I felt really bad for Thomas. Newt would treat you better, just sayin’. “They kissed, but nothing stirred i...

teresa is finally dead, but im bawling over newt

  𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓪 𝓲𝓼 𝓯𝓲𝓷𝓪𝓵𝓵𝔂 𝓭𝓮𝓪𝓭 , 𝓫𝓾𝓽 𝓲𝓶 𝓫𝓪𝔀𝓵𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓻 𝓷𝓮𝔀𝓽 Hi, it’s Eesha Samantray from The Samantray Post . Today we’re reviewing THE DEATH CURE , the third and last book of the Maze Runner series. It’s a solid book, but it was still really disappointing. Nothing could surpass the first book. Teresa is dead, so that’s the only good thing. But now Newt is dead! I hate that. They killed off my favourite character. I think that in the movie his death was sadder, but that’s my opinion. That’s my review, thank you for reading. --- Laugh at all the memes I've saved on Pinterest -   https://www.pinterest.at/eeshasamantray/_saved/ Check out what I'm reading on Goodreads -  https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/146096902-eesha-samantray Read my writing and enter my competitions on Quotev -  https://www.quotev.com/thesamantraypost

tmr is amazing and i take no criticism

T M R is amazing and I take no criticism Y’all, reading and watching HEART STOPPER   before the maze runner made me think that Charlie would be a great runner 😭 he is like only a year younger than Thomas, so same age range haha. Anyway, if you haven’t guessed, today we’re reviewing THE MAZE RUNNER , the first book in the series. If you don’t know what this book is, let me google this real quick. “A teen [Thomas] wakes up in a clearing in the centre of a gigantic maze with no memory of his past, finding himself a resident in community of boys who have built a village in the glade and who sends two of its strongest and fittest runners into the maze every morning to find a way out.” This is for the movie but it translates to the book as well. The Maze Runner is an amazing book, I really enjoyed it. It felt like a mystery, revealing information slowly each chapter, while the main characters tried to solve it. It read like a movie – which was why it made a great one! T...
