 Cassandra Clare

In 1920s Manhattan, Magnus Bane hobnobs with the elite at a glamorous Jazz Age hotspot. One of ten adventures in The Bane Chronicles. The immortal Magnus Bane is making the most of his time in the Roaring Twenties: He’s settled into New York society and is thriving among the fashionable jazz set. And there is nowhere better to see and be seen than the glamorous Hotel Dumort, a glittering new addition to the Manhattan landscape. But a different type of glamour may be at play… This standalone e-only short story illuminates the life of the enigmatic Magnus Bane, whose alluring personality populates the pages of the #1 New York Times bestselling series, The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices series. This story in The Bane Chronicles, The Rise of the Hotel Dumort, is written by Cassandra Clare and Maureen Johnson.

The Rise of the Hotel Dumort

Magnus Bane watches the once-glamorous Hotel Dumort become something else altogether in 1970s New York City. One of ten adventures in The Bane Chronicles. Fifty years after the Jazz Age rise of the Hotel Dumort, immortal warlock Magnus Bane knows the Manhattan landmark is on the decline. The once-beautiful Hotel Dumort has fallen into a decayed thing, a ruin, as dead as a place can be. But the vampires don’t mind… This standalone e-only short story illuminates the life of the enigmatic Magnus Bane, whose alluring personality populates the pages of the #1 New York Times bestselling series, The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices series. This story in The Bane Chronicles, The Fall of the Hotel Dumort, is written by Cassandra Clare and Maureen Johnson.

YES YES YES ALL THE YES.



DRUGGY VAMPIRES. WEREWOLVES. MAGNUS.

There really isn’t much more to say about this one. It was really good. This is what I needed. I feel as if they could have wrote a whole series on the idea of this.

Something about the title of this hotel is familiar… HMMMMM…



I have always wondered about this hotel and the history about it and how it came to be. This one isn’t really told as well as I would like it, but it is a good historical story. 

I love learning more about Magnus’ past though. It explains a lot more of his personality and why he does the things that he does. He is probably the best character that Clare has wrote honestly.

Questa mi è piaciuta leggermente di meno rispetto alle altre, anche se è molto interessante vedere come i vampiri si siano appropriati dell'hotel Dumort ;).

Tra le tre novelle relative all'Hotel Dumort che ho letto, questa è quella che mi è piaciuta meno. L'azione c'è, ma per come si è conclusa l'ho trovata un pò deludente rispetto alle altre...
