The Enchantress (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel #6)
San Francisco:
Nicholas and Perenelle Flamel have one day left to live, and one job left to do. They must defend San Francisco. The monsters gathered on Alcatraz Island have been released and are heading toward the city. If they are not stopped, they will destroy everyone and everything in their path.
But even with the help of two of the greatest warriors from history and myth, will the Sorceress and the legendary Alchemyst be able to defend the city? Or is it the beginning of the end of the human race?
Danu Talis:
Sophie and Josh Newman traveled ten thousand years into the past to Danu Talis when they followed Dr. John Dee and Virginia Dare. And it’s on this legendary island that the battle for the world begins and ends.
Scathach, Prometheus, Palamedes, Shakespeare, Saint-Germain, and Joan of Arc are also on the island. And no one is sure what—or who—the twins will be fighting for.
Today the battle for Danu Talis will be won or lost.
But will the twins of legend stand together?
Or will they stand apart—one to save the world and one to destroy it?
(CONTAINS SPOILERS)After 6 intense and action packed books, I was really expecting the Enchantress to blow the series out of the water. Unfortunetly, it didn't. The book was incredible and enjoyable, but I expected a bit more because this ending had so much potential. But the good stuff first. I really did love what Scott did with Billy the Kid, Virginia Dare, and Machievelli. I just couldn't imagine Billy being evil, and Machievelli was heading towards the good side throughout the book.
Seeing as how this is the last book in the series, Michael Scott was probably under a lot of pressure to make it end with a BANG. He probably felt that he had to do a GRRM and knock out a whole cast of characters, which he did. It was a fucking massacre. The whole process practically screams "I'm trying too hard!" Perhaps he was just trying to induce some sense of emotional response to the characters' deaths, but meh, I didn't feel anything. Especially considering how cheap he made them feel to
"When in doubt, we follow our hearts. Words can be false, images and sounds can be manipulated. But this...' He tapped his chest, over his heart. 'This is always true Michael Scott. YOU ARE A FREAKING GENIUS!I cannot BELIEVE what I have just read. I would have never imagined ending the series with that! From the final battle to the end, waves of continuous chills swept through me. It left me breathless. IT WAS THAT EPIC.If you haven't read this or the 5th book (Matt, Ashley, Stella: I'm looking
My god, what a clusterfuck. I am so unbelievably disappointed in the direction this series has gone, and particularly how it ended. I have no problem with this as a children's series, I am an adult and I love my YA/children's stories, but I'll be damned if my childhood self could keep track of half the shit that's been going on and adding to the massive pile of poop that's been gathering since the second book.The increasing number of characters, the many many places/times/dimensions to which
Gosh, so much to say about this book. The ending left me satisfied, but I am so unimpressed by Scott's writing that I will likely never pick up a book of his ever again.This series fell prey to every fantasy cliche that drives me nuts, starting with Michael Scott trying waaaaay too hard to impress us. In the first two books, we established a hierarchy of immortals, Next Gen, Elder, and Great Elder. But Scott keeps trying to one-up himself - before the Great Elders were Archons, and before them
This is the first time Im going to review a final book in the series and reviewing the entire series. So here it goesRating: ★★★★★1. Story: Michael Scott has given himself a challenge: write a series of 6 books that only happened in the course of less than 10 days. The outcome, a wonderful series called the Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel. This series was very-well constructed. There were so many twists and turns here and there, Mr Scott was genius to have crammed them all into 6 books.
