The red scrolls of magic (The Eldest Curses #1) by Cassandra Clare - Restarting September 16th 2019

[✨ A ✨]

All Magnus Bane wanted was a vacation—a lavish trip across Europe with Alec Lightwood, the Shadowhunter who against all odds is finally his boyfriend. But as soon as the pair settles in Paris, an old friend arrives with news about a demon-worshipping cult called the Crimson Hand that is bent on causing chaos around the world. A cult that was apparently founded by Magnus himself. 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. As if it wasn’t bad enough that their romantic getaway has been sidetracked, demons are now dogging their every step, and it is becoming harder to tell friend from foe. As their quest for answers becomes increasingly dire, Magnus and Alec will have to trust each other more than ever—even if it means revealing the secrets they’ve both been keeping.

Starting this. Im so excited for this one.

[Courtney]

Chapter 1 (view spoiler)[ I find it sad that Alec has never been on vacation. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

Courtney wrote: "Chapter 1 [spoilers removed]"

I don't think Shadowhunters generally go on vacation, but with Alec, it's like it never occurred to him that he's allowed to take time off for himself. Which is definitely sad.

[Courtney]

Chapter 3 (view spoiler)[ I wonder who is starting this rumor that Magnus is leading this demon worshiping cult, The Crimson Hand. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 5 (view spoiler)[ Magnus's father is Asmodeus, and Rook says he might be the leader of the cult. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 7 (view spoiler)[ Magnus and Alec just cant catch a break. Also who the heck took Magnus? (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 9 (view spoiler)[ Shinyun is another warlock, and seems to want to be an ally with Magnus and Alec. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ Shit Mori Shu's dead. I wonder how they plan on getting their information now. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 16 (view spoiler)[ They found the Red Scrolls of Magic, and they definitely know that Magnus wrote it. (hide spoiler)]

[callie]

I'll probably start this one tomorrow, time got away from me today!

[Courtney]

Chapter 17 (view spoiler)[ I love hearing more about Magnus's past even though its tragic. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Thats okay. I will make sure to still check for your thoughts.

[Courtney]

Chapter 20 (view spoiler)[ I dont know if I trust Shinyun. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 22 (view spoiler)[ Yeah of course she is the bad guy. Come on Alec!!! (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 24 (view spoiler)[ Shinyun is crazy!! (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 26 (view spoiler)[ So Magnus really did start the clan as a prank. However, The Crimson Hand decided they disnt want a warlock controling them so the betrayed Shinyun. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

Courtney wrote: "Chapter 22 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[To be fair, Alec never really liked her. And if it wasn't for Magnus's guilt over the cult, he might not have either. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

Courtney wrote: "Chapter 26 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I think that, if the warlock was someone who gave them no rules and allowed them to do all the evil shit they wanted, they'd have been okay with the warlock. Their problem was more with the strictness and stuff. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

The End
(view spoiler)[I thought Ragnor had just faked his death. But he's been kidnapped! Now I'm not sure if I'd have liked Shinyun dead (so she couldn't cause more trouble) or alive so that Ragnor didn't die wherever she's keeping him. (hide spoiler)]

I know, but I was hoping she wasnt just so the book could prov eme wrong about being obvious lol

I forgot (view spoiler)[ he faked his death. Opps! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I didn't suspect her until Alec couldn't get Magnus on the phone and then she showed up with a "tip" about the cult. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I suspected her since she saved Magnus on the train. Her timing was too convenient for me. (hide spoiler)]

[callie]

Sorry, I'm taking so long, I have a tendency to start reading too many books so I can't possibly read them all!

Chapter 2 (I've read so much, haha!) (view spoiler)[I am pos-i-tute-ly excited for this book! I love Magnus and I am so happy we get a book for Magnus and Alec. I am glad I read the Bane Chronicles so I actually get the reference to Marie Antoinette. I am kinda upset Tessa was there and "interrupted" them but it's Tessa and I'm excited she is here so yay!! I love Tessa so much! Definitely more than Alec and possibly more than Magnus but that one is close. I can't wait to see what happens with her! (hide spoiler)]

[callie]

Chapter 17 (view spoiler)[I really want Magnus and Alec to have some alone time... they need to get Shinyun to give them some alone time!!

I'm glad Magnus is finally opening up about his past to Alec... I SHIP IT SO MUCH!

I'm really interested to see where this story is headed! (hide spoiler)]

[callie]

Chapter 23 (view spoiler)[Okay, I wasn't a fan of Shinyun and she was slightly shady but I DID NOT EXPECT HER TO BE THE LEADER OF THE CULT! MAJOR PLOT TWIST! Obviously they will rescue Magnus and everyone will be fine because they were all in TDA. I'm really hoping Magnus and Alec get to finish their vacation peacefully and we get to see at least some of it!! (hide spoiler)]

[callie]

Finished! (view spoiler)[I honestly don't have much to say. I loved it and I can't wait for the next book! It took me wayyy too long to read but oh well. (hide spoiler)]

[Laura]

I haven't read a Cassandra Clare book in years, so I am curious about this one!

[Laura]

Chapter 1 (view spoiler)[ Why would anyone think it a good idea to put a platform and table and chairs instead of a basket on a balloon? There is a reason they have baskets! (hide spoiler)]

[Laura]

Chapter 4 (view spoiler)[ This is very sappy. Maybe a little too sappy. At least the story started quickly. I remember Tessa was in the Shadowhunter series but do not remember any details about her. It has been a long, long time since I read a Cassandra Clare book! (hide spoiler)]

[Laura]

Chapter 8 (view spoiler)[ This became interesting really fast! I wonder who the woman is who attacked Alec, but then saved him and Magnus? (hide spoiler)]

[Laura]

Chapter 10 (view spoiler)[ This is definitely not the best book I have read. I just don't like the story that much. :( It is entertaining enough, though. (hide spoiler)]
