Least fave of the three Nicholas Flamel books I have read. I'm behind on writing these reviews because I didn't decide to keep this blog until I had already read six books out of my goal of 48. This was the fourth. Anyway, this series is blurring together. I can't separate what happened in book two from what happened in book three. I just remember some of the different adventures Sophie and Josh went on and prevailed. Same old same old. Trouble finds them, they use their magical powers and something AMAAAAAZING happens and they're safe. Blah blah blah. They also introduce more historical characters which makes me laugh, really, Machiavelli? Joan of Arc? Psh. And they introduce new, interesting and disturbing ancient creatures ooooooooo! So yeah, I am not so keen on this book. But, I will continue to read the series until it is complete. I'm committed now!
I don't know if I'd recommend this book and I'd only give it a 2/5 starts. Sorry Michael Scott! I'm not in your target audience though! I'm sure those kids love the book!
