The Lost Book of the White
By Cassandra Clare and Wesley ChuPublisher Description
From #1 New York Times bestselling authors Cassandra Clare and Wesley Chu comes the second book in the Eldest Curses series and a thrilling adventure for High Warlock Magnus Bane and Alec Lightwood, for whom a death-defying mission into the heart of evil is not just a job, it’s also a romantic getaway. The Lost Book of the White is a Shadowhunters novel.
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.

“Loved seeing the whole gang together again. I was a little disappointed in how Simon was written. I felt like they wrote him a bit whimpier than I felt was necessary. I get that he had obvious trauma from watching George but I felt like his resolve at the end of TSA should have carried over.
Regardless I still enjoyed the book. VERY much interested in the final one. Can't wait to see lucifer (possibly?)”

“Magnus a Alec si v rámci možností užívajú pokojný spoločný život. Ich bosorácky syn Max skúša svoje magické schopnosti a v New Yorku panuje pomerný pokoj... Pokým sa raz v noci neobjavia v Magnusovom byte jeho dvaja starí známi a ukradnú mocnú Bielu knihu. Magnus a Alec ju musia dostať bezpodmienečne naspäť, ale pátranie komplikuje fakt, že Magnus utŕži zranenie zvláštnou neznámou zbraňou, s veľkou a temnou magickou mocou. Samozrejme problémy siahajú oveľa hlbšie, ako si všetci mysleli a tak sa Magnus a Alec spolu s ostatnými tieňolovcami ocitajú v samotnej ríši mŕtvych.
Kniha sa čítala pomerne rýchlo a samozrejme ma bavila, ale prišla mi ako trochu slabší produkt od Cassandry. Nenadchla ma ako napríklad Zlaté puto či predošlá Najstaršia kliatba (čo sú jedny z jej najnovších kníh). Chybala mi tam väčšia dynamika a dialógy postáv (ktoré ma vo väčšine prípadov bavia) mi prišli trochu silené. Niektoré scény mi, prvýkrát v histórii čítania kníh od Clare, prišli pritiahnuté za vlasy- zjednodušene povedané prekážali mi.
Knihu samostatne hodnotím tak, že ma nenadchla. Ale ako doplnková kniha k sérii bola fajn.
Čo vy a táto kniha?
