2021 Reread: So I've decided these short story bindups are really not meant to be reread. At least not for me. I found they dragged and I really didn't care what was happening.

“To them, as to Magnus, time was like rain, glittering as it fell, changing the world, but something that could also be taken for granted. Until you loved a mortal. Then time became gold in a miser's hands, every bright year counted out carefully, infinitely precious, and each one slipping through your fingers.”

This book was really great. I loves all the little snapshots into Magnus Bane's life. You could definitely tell this was written by people other than Cassandra, but I really enjoy both Sarah and Maureen's writing so I was not too bothered by it. My full review with snipets about each story can be found here. Overall this was a 4 star book. And that is largely due to how much I like Magnus as a character.

Favorite stories included The Midnight Heir, What to Buy the Shadowhunter Who Has Everything, and The Course of True Love.
