You feel as if you are actually part of the story， absolutely awesome book， which I found very hard to put down。

1100 pagina's is best wel een beetje te veel？ Ik denk dat dat de reden is dat ik er toch best lang over heb gedaan。 Op zich zijn dit boeken die je echt heel snel kunt lezen: het tempo ligt hoog， je wordt eigenlijk gewoon heel erg meegesleurd door het feit dat alles in deze wereld even in een sneltempo gebeurt， en dat is erg gaaf。Ik wil dan ook zeker de andere drie boeken lezen， want ik wil weten wat er met Josh en Sophie gebeurt， hoe Nicolas en Perenelle terecht gaan komen， en of we Scathach en 1100 pagina's is best wel een beetje te veel？ Ik denk dat dat de reden is dat ik er toch best lang over heb gedaan。 Op zich zijn dit boeken die je echt heel snel kunt lezen: het tempo ligt hoog， je wordt eigenlijk gewoon heel erg meegesleurd door het feit dat alles in deze wereld even in een sneltempo gebeurt， en dat is erg gaaf。Ik wil dan ook zeker de andere drie boeken lezen， want ik wil weten wat er met Josh en Sophie gebeurt， hoe Nicolas en Perenelle terecht gaan komen， en of we Scathach en Jeanne nog terug gaan zien。。。 heel veel vragen， zo weinig antwoorden。 Ik ben in elk geval helemaal deze wereld in getrokken， dus echt heel tof gedaan！ 。。。more

The book had some pretty interesting historical characters and was a great idea， but wasn't executed well。 It had slow plots， not very good at world building， shallow characters。 Michael Scott used simple language and repeated many words， including overusing the word "and" Tremendously。 Over all the book would be good for children ten years old or younger， I am twelve years old and was bored with it so I do not think this is a good teen/adult book。 The book had some pretty interesting historical characters and was a great idea， but wasn't executed well。 It had slow plots， not very good at world building， shallow characters。 Michael Scott used simple language and repeated many words， including overusing the word "and" Tremendously。 Over all the book would be good for children ten years old or younger， I am twelve years old and was bored with it so I do not think this is a good teen/adult book。 。。。more

Heel tof！ Lange tijd ff weggelegd omdat het af en toe wat simpel was maar blij dat ik het toch weer heb opgepakt！ Ondanks de eenvoudigheid komt er in het verhaal wel steeds een nieuwe laag of diepte tevoorschijn met nieuwe elementen of achterliggende verhaallijnen。 Wat het tof maakt is dat er zoveel “bekende” personages in voorkomen die je kent uit legenden。

Happy with the new author。。 Cant wait to read the next books in this series！ It has a few dull moments but by pushing through you come to the action that keeps you turning pages。。 a very good read。

Great Fantasy FunI really enjoyed the books。 I had read they continued the wizarding world of Harry Potter。 This is not entirely true。 Although they both have a Nicholas Flamel， these books have slightly different rules to magic。 I look forward to reading the next in the series。

I liked this series as a kid。The diverse gods from all kinds of mythology。 There characters。Also the main characters and all the side characters。 They were all really cool。But nevertheless they weren't my favorite books。 I liked this series as a kid。The diverse gods from all kinds of mythology。 There characters。Also the main characters and all the side characters。 They were all really cool。But nevertheless they weren't my favorite books。 。。。more

I haven't finished the series yet， but these books have many twists and turns--so far！ Flemel's love for his wife is terrifically turned-out and makes me feel for them。 So many wonderful fantastical elements that just continue to spell me。 Alchemy has so many rich depths and historical realness; it's nice to see Scott use this in a creative fictional way。 It's a fun read！ I haven't finished the series yet， but these books have many twists and turns--so far！ Flemel's love for his wife is terrifically turned-out and makes me feel for them。 So many wonderful fantastical elements that just continue to spell me。 Alchemy has so many rich depths and historical realness; it's nice to see Scott use this in a creative fictional way。 It's a fun read！ 。。。more

I did not like the last book。。。 I'm mean like really？ Time travel？ Ahhh and also why did Michael Scott not make some of the character a bit less snowflaky I hated that the Twins where super overpowered and there was also no romance。 And why where there not more cool spells。 And why could Jody not learn Necromancy :（ I did not like the last book。。。 I'm mean like really？ Time travel？ Ahhh and also why did Michael Scott not make some of the character a bit less snowflaky I hated that the Twins where super overpowered and there was also no romance。 And why where there not more cool spells。 And why could Jody not learn Necromancy :（ 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 4。75， *SPOILERS FOR WHOLE SERIES* my favorite book in this series in the sorceress because they don't have to go through the awakening or whatever it's called， but Scatty's not in it as much as the first， but the second one pretty good because we find out about Joan and how Scatty saved Joan which I think is pretty cool。 And I love how powerful Perenelle is and how she more powerful than Nicolas and she beat macchiavelli。 And she's the seventh DAUGHTER of a seventh DAUGHTER so she can talk to g 4。75， *SPOILERS FOR WHOLE SERIES* my favorite book in this series in the sorceress because they don't have to go through the awakening or whatever it's called， but Scatty's not in it as much as the first， but the second one pretty good because we find out about Joan and how Scatty saved Joan which I think is pretty cool。 And I love how powerful Perenelle is and how she more powerful than Nicolas and she beat macchiavelli。 And she's the seventh DAUGHTER of a seventh DAUGHTER so she can talk to ghosts which makes her cooler。 And while Nicolas Flamel is the alchemist， Perenelle Flamel is the sorceress。 And Perenelle practiced magic in a time when women weren't very well respected and I researched the real Perenelle Flamel and it doesn't say much about her， so the author got to create a lot about her but he made her awesome and powerful。 And I like how this series includes so many different mythologies， like Greek and Roman， Scottish and Irish， and North and Central America。 I think the end is weird though because Josh goes and becomes Marethyu（don't think I spelled that right） how does he help create the book cause the author guys pretty much dead by then。 I think the swords are cool because they're based on real/mythological swords and not completely made up by the author like Excalibur from the Round Table and Joyeuse and Durendal are French。 But Perenelle， Scathatch， and Sophie are my favorite characters cause they're strong independent women！ And I still don't get the Josh betrayal in Necromancer/Warlock。 。。。more

This is a fantastic book！ I read the entire series and could not put any of the books down。 Each book had a great， fast-paced plot that keeps the reader involved and guessing constantly。

Heel meeslepend verhaal。 Jammer dat de volgende bundel pas in maart 2017 verschijnt。 Nog even geduld dus。

3。5As a whole， they fit together nicely。 However， I feel as though a single book could have encompassed the important bits， and the rest could have been cut out as fluff with no loss to the story

I read all of the current books from the Nicholas Flemel series。 I do wish that they made more books， I honestly do， they were really good， especially the twin prophecy。

This is what seemed to be an awesome trilogy。 I got through book one and could not bring myself to read more。 The concepts in this book are very interesting but the writer follows a formula and at the end of book one I already knew it and was bored。 The formula is as follows。。。1- Introduce character2- This characters tells main group of characters to go somewhere in order to introduce a new fantasy theme/ scene/ character etc。3- There is a battle。4- They find out that the introduced fantasy them This is what seemed to be an awesome trilogy。 I got through book one and could not bring myself to read more。 The concepts in this book are very interesting but the writer follows a formula and at the end of book one I already knew it and was bored。 The formula is as follows。。。1- Introduce character2- This characters tells main group of characters to go somewhere in order to introduce a new fantasy theme/ scene/ character etc。3- There is a battle。4- They find out that the introduced fantasy theme/ scene or character can not actually do what they needed them to do5- RepeatThings I liked :::- I liked the alternative theory aspect to this book。 It was interesting to see how different mythical creatures could come together to form an alternate history time line- And that was about it。What I didn't like :::- The plot was incredibly predictable。 - Characters were forgettable- Story lacked originalityThis book could have been something great but it fell well below its potential。 。。。more

Scott has absolutely no sense of pacing。 There are no ups and downs， no lulls， no breathers。 Its pedal floored all the way for three straight books with each chapter introducing yet more escalated bad guys， escalated danger， and escalated collateral damage。。。all of which takes place in just a few days time。 Pacing wise the book is pretty juvenille。。。its reminds me of the over excited announcer of Monster Truck Rally commercials SUNDAY， SUNDAY， SUNDAY。。。ALL ACTION。。。ALL THE TIME！！！！So why 4 stars Scott has absolutely no sense of pacing。 There are no ups and downs， no lulls， no breathers。 Its pedal floored all the way for three straight books with each chapter introducing yet more escalated bad guys， escalated danger， and escalated collateral damage。。。all of which takes place in just a few days time。 Pacing wise the book is pretty juvenille。。。its reminds me of the over excited announcer of Monster Truck Rally commercials SUNDAY， SUNDAY， SUNDAY。。。ALL ACTION。。。ALL THE TIME！！！！So why 4 stars？ Based on the quality of the narrative 3 would be more appropriate， maybe even 2。 But the redeeming feature is the world is pretty interesting。 Sure， it would appear to be a standard supernatural in the modern world urban fantasy trope。。。that's been done 100 times and usually poorly。 But in this case， the supernatural elements are not just pasted on Vampires！ or poorly modeled "tourist" quality Greek Myth。 The supernatural denizens are actually drawn from global myths and represent a cross section that cuts far deeper than most。 Many of the myths that were drawn from I had to look up。。。and was surprised to learn that they are， in fact， real characters and their qualities in the book are reasonable reflections of their mythological character。So there's some pretty decent scholarship underlying the story。 Additionally the plot is actually pretty interesting。 Sure it relies heavily on the over done "prophesized teenagers save the world" trope， but the villains are far more interesting （and the villains' bosses far more intimidating and mysterious） than say。。。Voldemort。So high marks for the scholarship， moderately high marks for the plot。。。but man。。。Scott really needs to learn that after a climax comes denouement。。。not another climax （or 3）。 。。。more
