Meh. Just another generic, "people who don't know magic exists are thrown into a magical world and must become the heros". It's sad how many of these books I've read that aren't really unique at all. There wasn't much to the plot, everything I could predict from a mile ahead, and it wasn't very i...
I felt myself losing interest through portions of this book -- yes there were new monsters attacking, but it seemed like the same plot repeated over and over again. I'm not sure how many more days I can take of the twins and Flamel facing Dee's latest challenges, using up almost all their streng...
Double cliff hanger!! Its all lead up to this point and the middle of the book wasn't all that great. This book is what I would call "A Transition Book". A transition book is a book that an author writes to get the readers up to spead when he could have just added a couple more books to the e...
So, I'll preface this saying that the last two books I bought from BOA on sale I didn't like and this seems to be a continual thing so maybe I should stick to non-sale books. The writing is GREAT, honestly the word usage and descriptions are fine, the only reason I finished it was because the wri...
I picked up this book at the library because we own the 3rd in the series , and I wanted to start at the beginning. not sure how we ended up with the 3rd in our library, but anyway...I thought I would love this series, but unfortunately, I couldn't wait to get to the end of this book. The storyli...
Are the legends of Nicholas Flamel true? This book The Sorceress by Micheal Scott, has a suspenseful story line by using the characters and events to show what is about to come. Another element is the way the writer builds up the characters relationships and there meaning to each other, for examp...
I was torn over the ending to the Alchemist series. Sure, it was a wonderful series, and I'm glad I read through it all, but it wasn't my absolute favorite.On one hand, I feel like most of the plot lines received satisfying conclusions and most of the major questions were answered.On the other ha...
La historia comienza con un homicidio doble. Continua con otros asesinatos, más sangre, estan buscando 13 reliquias, mas sangre, todos recibieron las piezas cuando eran chicos en la 2da guerra mundial, mas sangre. Sara (22 años) salva a Judith (77) de un supuesto asalto, mas sangre, Judith es la ...
me rompió el corazón y lo volvió a armar en segundos The ending really disappointed/confused me was hoping for a much better ending. :(
Really enjoyed reading this series. Light reads, interesting characters & twists, and lots of fun. I totally freaking cried here because the ending was freaking awesome;>
I've loved Billy the Kid since he first appeared in the series, and I have to say I loved this short story even more. It is longer than The Death of Joan of Arc, which I enjoyed as well, and it is every bit as much as I expected of it. Billy is such a fun character, and him teaming up with Scatha...
This is a short story telling the rescue of Joan of Arc by Scathach. If you've read the books than you'll be familiar with the rescue, but Scott hasn't gone into detail until this short story. While it was a good addition to the series it was kind of disappointing that it was told from an obser...
This short story had a bit more meat to it and even though it's Billy's name in the title, the story is really Scathach's. In the second to last book in the series (or maybe the 3rd to last!) we find out that Aoife & Scathach had a falling out that revolved around a man they both loved. Here we...
I love Billy the Kid in these books. Again, a "lost chapter" rather than a novel. Quick & easy like snack food - no substance.
Really only a chapter left out of the previous books, this short (12 pages), short story that doesn't really add anything to the series which I really enjoy. It is told as a deathbed confession of William of York recounting events he was sworn to never tell about the day in 1431 when Joan of Arc...
