My Review:
What a great conclusion to an awesome series! I started reading The Secrets of The Immortal Nicholas Flamel six years ago, and I have to say that this one was the best of all!

One of my favorite parts about this book was the plot! Michael Scott does a fabulous job of really wrapping things up and answering all the questions that were previously unsolved in earlier books! I also love how he was able to blend different types of mythologies together to make them all work. This book definitely has a lot of action and suspense! Also, I love how the author was able to keep the reader on his/her toes and not know what was going to happen next! I will say that at times this book was a little bit confusing because their were so many different characters it was hard to keep track of them all! The twist at the end of the book I didn't see coming at all which was great because I love when unexpected things happen in books!

The two main characters, Josh and Sophie, really progress so much throughout this novel. They really balance each other out and you can see how much they care for each other. I do wish that we got to see a little bit more about what happens to both in the future (because this is the last book) and I was a little bit unsatisfied with the ending. Michael Scott also does a really great job of showing the progression of the other minor characters such as Scathach, Joan of Arc, Shakespeare and Saint-Germain. I really liked seeing how each character was able to grow from book to book. The other two main characters, Nicholas Flamel and his wife, Perenelle also were great in this book! I feel like I know them so well as characters because I have seen them grow throughout the series.

Overall, Michael Scott does a really great job of wrapping up this series! I am sad to say goodbye to The Secrets of The Immortal Nicholas Flamel series, but I am glad that this book ended with a bang! If you love different types of mythology, and action, this series is for you and I highly recommend that you check it out!!

My Rating: Four out of Five Stars

  2. Great review. I just finished Warlock the other day and I am so tempted to jump into Enchantress and see how everything is going to play out with the twins and the prophecy. That ending, WOW, what an ending. I would have never guessed. Michael Scott is kick ass with those surprises, I can't even! I'm glad you enjoyed the final book to this wonderful series C:

  4. I just heard about this series yesterday. A coworker said her son thought they were better than Harry Potter. I definitely put these on the TBR list!

  5. OMG! I've read the first three books in this series, and I bought the fourth. I can't believe I've already missed the fifth coming out, and now the sixth is coming soon! That's incredible! I can't believe the series will be over! I'm going to have to reread the first three that I already read, because I can't remember much of what happened. I'm glad you enjoyed the end! That makes me feel safe to read the rest. Thanks for the review!
