About this audiobook
Life is good for Magnus Bane and Alec Lightwood. They’re living together in a fabulous loft, their warlock son, Max, has started learning to walk, and the streets of New York are peaceful and quiet—as peaceful and quiet as they ever are, anyway.
Until the night that two old acquaintances break into Magnus’s apartment and steal the powerful Book of the White. Now Magnus and Alec will have to drop everything to get it back. They need to follow the thieves to Shanghai, they need to call some backup to accompany them, and they need a babysitter. Also, someone has stabbed Magnus with a strange magical weapon that is changing the very nature of his powers.
Fortunately, their backup consists of Clary, Jace, Isabelle, and newly minted Shadowhunter Simon. In Shanghai, they learn that a much darker threat awaits them. Magnus’s magic is growing unstable, and if they can’t stop the demons flooding into the city, they might have to follow them all the way back to the source—to the very realm of the dead.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5The narrator is so bad it is hard to listen to this book. It’s as if this narrator did not bother to learn how names had been pronounced in every other book and didn’t know anything about any of the characters going in. He gives accents to people that the book blatantly says “accentless English”. Jem, who has at least a faint English accent in every other book until now, has a Chinese accent here. Jace is read like dumb frat boy. It’s frustrating to have zero continuity of narration between books in this very long series, but this narrator is garbage. Read the book if can, I don’t recommend the audiobook version at all.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The story is fine - a shadowhunting good time. The narration, however, is really not good. With such a long-running franchise, they should have checked how to pronounce character names, or what type of accent characters should have.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Love Magnus and Alec but I took so long to finish this! (I’ll blame it on the pandemic and the political unrest lol). Also, I think the problem is the timing of these events (being between Tales of Shadowhunter Academy and TDA)... it should read as a standalone but you also get treated to all this extra easter eggs that you already know happened... it’s weird!!! I loved the malec in the Magnus Bane chronicles and Ghosts of the Shadow Market so idk why I feel this way (must be the pandemic)... the best part of the Book is Sammael hands down (the audiobook version, that is... book version doesn’t give any intonations).... also THAT ending saved the book for me... I felt it all went too fast at the beginning... might as well have started the book in Shanghai lol 3.5

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love this gang so much! It was awesome to come back and get more background. It's odd that it's not in the time after carstars but I love these characters so much! The end was good and left you wanting the next book

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I love Malec and I'm happy to see the gang together again. The reason why I didn't enjoy it as much is because they sort of feel out of character at times. I like how the narrator portrayed Sammael's character but the accents in some parts kind of irk me a bit.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love the world of the Shadow Hunters. The characters are so realistic and the adventures so stirring. I put off reading this series because it is listed as YA, but I am enjoying every minute of these books. I adore Magnus Bane. I still have a few books to go before I’m finished, but I’m collecting the series for my shelves so so may reread it!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The narrator is amazing!! He made these characters so much more animated and given them distinct personalities through his performance! I had the best time listening to this!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Just love it , very nice experience listen and read at the same time from my book
