The Lost Book of the White

By: Cassandra Clare, Wesley Chu

Narrated by: BD Wong

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.

C.C delivers as usual!

The story lines gave all the impact we are use to. To spend time with characters we've grown to love and we know so well. The twists and hints and backwards glances to things that already occurred is really nice. The climax battle was a little meh. My only complaint was BD Wong whom I love from Law and Order and HTGAWM he destroyed our characters. I don't recall his reading to be so horrid last time. His perspective was so off it ruined it and mispronounced names like come on! Just like an acting gig research your characters a simple Google would have sufficed. Jace is not some vain Surfer dude, Alec is a bad ass w/some insecurities but nonetheless I won't discuss what he did to my Simon. When I finally caught on to his storyline(which broke me and I could have sat in that feeling w/Simon) I was like What the what?! . I'd rather READ💀 the next book.

Narrator...only good with one voice.

Loved story. But why does everyone sound like a slow surfer or slow stoner besides Magnus?

Alec

I would've liked to see more of Alec's skills in combat and be a hero who rescue's ALL for a change !!
It was romantic and very fictional story that didn't disappoint , thank you Cassi
The performance was a bit overdramatic sometimes and the voices of Jace ,Simon and Isabil were too much honestly
Thank you☺️
