It is difficult to accept that open hearted Alec is such an insecure emotional state in COFA. The ending of the book is a very positive/happy one for Magnus and Alec, but I feel like this doesn’t 100% fit the Magnus and Alec we saw in City of Fallen Angels.

Very short, non dramatic, but one can feel instantly that Alec is sensitive to the max. The moment Alec understands the extent of Raphael distress is particularly intense. Through Magnus eyes, Alec discovers the richness of a world that he did not know and that he had learned to distrust. The intensity of Magnus' feelings that he tries to contain induce both joy and fear. It's also very sensitive and emotional and it's easy to identify with or experiencing of the feelings, thoughts and attitudes of the characters. It’s much more cheerful and plain cute than TMI, sexy in a way that isn't too explicit but isn't mawkish either. I think The Red Scrolls of Magic had the perfect balance between light-heartedness and seriousness. Some situation can be describe in a shorter way. I'm really enjoying reading this book again, because English is a very different language than French. Can we talk about censorship? It looks a bit like that. It's not huge but some intimate moments between Magnus and Alec have been shortened.

I had the feeling to discover some passages, and after comparing the 2 editions, there are in fact some cuts in the French edition.
