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

This was alright, not great but could have been worse

I'm not really going to leave a proper review for this, mainly because I don't care enough about these books/this author anymore to put that much effort into it. But this book was just ok, maybe even good, and definitely the best Cassandra Clare book that I've read in a very long time, and that's solely due to the characters in it. I have loved Magnus and Alec since the moment I first met them in 2011/2012/whenever I read City of Bones. Magnus continues to be exactly my kind of humour, even if it is a little bit of the bad kind of cheesy at times, and Alec is just wonderful and I love seeing his character develop. An added bonus that I wasn't expecting was getting to see how Aline and Helen met, that was absolutely adorable. The plot was alright, interesting enough to keep me entertained, but nothing overly special about it
