Hello! I'm back. I apologize for not writing in a while. I fell into a bit of an updating slump. So far I'm breaking my promise of posting often! Today I thought I'd bring you a very nice series, The Secrets of The Immortal Nicholas Flammel by Michael Scott.
Sophie and Josh Newman are your everyday normal teenagers. Their parents are away on a work trip so the two find themselves living with their aunt during their summer break. The twins both find jobs, Josh at a bookstore and Sophie at a coffee shop. Josh finds himself working for Nick Fleming and Sophie finds herself working with Nick's wife, Perry Fleming.
One afternoon whilst the twins are on their shifts a man by the name of John Dee comes and attacks Nick Fleming demanding some sort of book. Nick and John have an insane battle in the bookstore, magic flying everywhere. And Josh, stunned, has no idea what to think.
As it turns out (no spoilers!) that Nick and Perry are actually the immortal Nicholas and Perenelle Flammel. The two are in grave danger and they believe that Sophie and Josh are the twins mentioned in the prophecy that will save them. Nicholas also mentions that he and Perenelle have a month to live and they desperately need the twins help.
So, Sophie and Josh Newman, embark on a perilous quest that unfolds throughout six novels to save Perenelle and Nicholas from their deaths and will later end up doing much, much more.
The series is actually quite good. We get some very good history lessons in the author's notes and very endearing characters.We encounter other characters from history such as Joan of Ark, John Dee and gods Isis and Osiris. The books contain magic, great battle scenes and show us valuable lessons such as loyal friends and how important bondage between siblings really is.
Another particular thing I like about the series is that it does mention that there is no good and bad. John Dee is our antagonist but Michael Scott does show us how immortality has turned Nicholas and Perenelle into rather somewhat selfish creatures. The two have ended up killing other twins in the past hoping that they are on the ones to save them.
I strongly recommend you to read this series and I hope you fall in love with our characters and adore them so. I will tell you one thing, DO NOT TRY TO ASK THE BOOK'S WIKI FOR ANSWERS! Terrible, horrid idea. It'll only get you wound up in an even bigger spoil. And I know how hard it is not to. I unfortunately made that mistake. And I don't care if you think your favorite character is dead or not. DO NOT CONSULT THE WIKI. Also, when you finish, don't try to comprehend the unclear finale. It'll come eventually but part of the beauty is not quite understanding it.
As always, thanks for reading. I hope I've helped you out and you to enjoy this fantastic series!
Remember to keep reading and be nice to others,
