Magnus Bane, a famous warlock, and Alec Lightwood, a
Shadowhunter, are on a romantic vacation in Europe when they begin to hear
rumors of a demon-worshipping cult, the Crimson Hand, said to have been created
by Magnus himself. However, Magnus has no memory of creating the cult. Even
more problematic, the cult seems to be worshipping Asmodeus- one of Hell's most
powerful demon princes and Magnus's father. When Magnus and Alec are attacked
by multiple lesser demons that seem to have been summoned by the Crimson Hand,
they put aside their vacation and hopes to get to know each other better and go
on a hunt to find the leader of the cult, guided by a former member who wants
revenge. Surrounded by murder and betrayal, Magnus and Alec must trust each
other more they have ever had before in order to make it out alive.
The Red Scrolls of Magic by Cassandra Clare is a
fantasy/paranormal fiction novel that I liked reading. I liked the action and
plot twists that were utilized in the book. However, I didn't get totally drawn
into the novel- for some reason, I didn't enjoy it as much as some of Clare's
other books. The scenery was detailed, and the characters seemed realistic.
Readers of fantasy fiction would probably enjoy this book.
Honestly, I thought this novel was alright, but I would have
rather read something else.
