The Enchantress

The end. The end of one of my favorite series.
I believe it was my school librarian that got me started on the first book many years ago, and never before have I found a book that gets me so engrossed and so eager to learn more about history and the characters than The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel.
And now it has ended.
And my guess of who Marethyu was was right. That made me so happy. That made me spend an entire day reading a book (while I was on the beach) in order to see if I was right.
And that made me so happy.
The one thing that I am critical about of the series is that I don't really like Sophie and Josh. They never just struck me as normal. I guess that is because they weren't normal, but they didn't seem natural, like how twins would be, or siblings would be.

But other than that, great book. I finished it Wednesday and haven't stopped thinking of it.

The Warlock


Quick Summary: The Warlock is the fifth book in the series by Michael Scott and we find Sophie and Josh divided. According to the prophecy, one will save the world, and one will destroy it, but which one is which? Josh is with Dr. John Dee, a man who used to be his enemy, and Virginia Dare in San Francisco. Scathach, Palamedes, Shakespeare and Joan of Arc and her husband are trapped in the past on Danu Talis with death. Sophie is with the Alchemist and his wife, but Nicholas is very close to death, and Perry is right behind him. There is too little time left before the world, undoubtedly, ends.

My review: I, like all other books in this series, very much enjoyed it. It left me confused but I do like being confused and having everything straighten out in the end, it makes me think about it. It is so complex and I feel the need to research every character. I love this series!

My rating:
*****



This book is nominated for the Jack K Fiction Award for 2011!

The Necromancer

Michael Scott just keeps getting better and better in this next book in The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series. The Necromancer is about Dr. John Dee needing a Necromancer to raise one of the most powerful beings in his quest to conquer earth and by tricking Josh, he has one. It was definately the best book of the series so far and I can't wait for the next one.
