I expected a childish book about chemistry and alchemy, but it was surprisingly good and really well written. The story was full of action and it turned out to be a crime story actually. Strongly recomnended.

So good! Worth the buzz. Review coming closer to release date on papertraildiary.com.

I am interested to follow this series further.

Hodnocení: 3,5/5 ✩
I když se jedná o knihu určenou převážně pro mládež, rozhodně nezklame ani starší čtenáře. Příběh zaujme už jen prostředím, v jakém se odehrává. Děj příjemně plyne, a rozhodně nenudí. V mém případě jsem se netrefila úplně ideálně do nálady, ale to už se stává, určitě však dám šanci i dalším dílům. Tato kniha je taková fajn oddechová jednohubka.

Great story, different and unique. Liked it a lot but I don't know if I want to read the sequel. Nevertheless, I liked this book a lot and I have to say that Kevin Sands imagination it's pretty good, all those symbols and everything that was amazing.

3.65 Stars.

I read this as part of a middle school teachers’ book club. I thought it was a creative, fast-paced read!
