The Enchantress by Michael Scott (Awesome)

This is the last book in a fairly large series, six books.  I don't think I'll ever post on the first five, so here's a brief description: Josh and Sophie are normal kids, until, during a routine day at the bookshop, a man comes in and starts attacking the owner, Nick Flamel.  The reason? A book.  Sophie and Josh must develop their potential powers to protect themselves.  For, the Flamels think they might be the twins of legend.  One to save the world, one to destroy it.

That is the insanely simplified version of the first five books.  I really would suggest reading it.  All you have to do is read the first paragraph, and you will be hooked.

Anyway, here's the cover of The Enchantress:


Correct me if I'm wrong, but I really don't think that the cover has anything to do with the book. *Spoilers in this review if you haven't read the first 5 books*

Sophie, Josh, Dee, and Virginia Dare are teleported to Danu Talis where they meet Sophie and Josh's parents.  At the same time, Joan of Arc, Shakespeare, Palamedes, and Schatach are also on Danu Talis, their goal is to make sure the human uprising happens and Danu Talis falls.  Back in the present, the Flamels and others are holding back the attack on San Francisco.  Will everything turn out the way it should?  Read it to find out.

I must say, the ending way AMAZING!!!  You couldn't guess it until they mentioned his hand...  Okay, no spoilers, but it was pretty amazing.  I have to admit that earlier in the series, I was getting a little annoyed with Josh.  It sucks when one of your favorite characters switches sides, but I'm happy to say that it's not a problem in this book.  (That didn't spoil anything, by the way.)  All in all, it was an amazing book.  I would definitely suggest it.

*Spoiler for this book*  However, I have to admit that on the Flamel side of the story, I have no idea if three characters died at the end.  Could someone tell me if Black Hawk and the Flamels made it.  Did they go to Paris to die, or since Josh is Death, did they just go to Paris?  Please comment if you know/ think you know what was up with that.

*Spoiler off*

I hope you give this book/ series a chance.  It was really good. 

Sorry I'm late, by the way. I try to be on time next week.
Bye.

UPDATE :  Someone commented with a cover description.  I'll post part of it below so you can see it easily.

The cover for the book is actually very descriptive into the book itself. lined with a silver book cover it has references to the enchantress "sophie" it has pictures of vimanas and ziggurats. the moon and sun in the center are the centerfold of the story once you know the secrets to the book.

  1. The book was FANTASTIC! but you are wrong on one aspect. The cover for the book is actually very descriptive into the book itself. lined with a silver book cover it has references to the enchantress "sophie" it has pictures of vimanas and ziggurats. the moon and sun in the center are the centerfold of the story once you know the secrets to the book.
