klmnz 's review for:

The Red Scrolls of Magic by Wesley Chu, Cassandra Clare
3.0

Nothing wrong with this book, and these two characters remain among my favourites of all time, but I generally find these in-between style novella collections vaguely disappointing (from all worlds, not just this one - Sarah J Maas series suffer from this too imo). Ultimately, I think I'd rather have more Magnus and Alec in sections of main books than in spin offs, but hey, I'll read any book about Alec and Magnus if I'm being honest. I found the plot lacklustre, but Magnus and Alec themselves, and their relationship, as deeply adorable as ever. I should also note appreciation for true YA representations of healthy, very sweet LGBTQ+ relationships - more of these remain very welcome.
