I didn’t realize when I decided to read this that it was middle grade. I am not sure if that is the intended, but it is definitely on the younger side of YA. Given that I give it 4 stars for the age group. Michael Scott does a great job at creative and inventive world building as well as working in famous real life characters (such Shakespeare and King Tut) into the story. I am interested to see where the story will take us next and will sprinkle this series in as time allows.

buku 1 dr seri nicholas flamel yg terdiri dr 6 buku. stlh baca menurutku ini jauh lebih menarik dibanding seri fablehaven ataupun seri percy jackson krn gk membuat ak bosan ataupun ngantuk. menarik idenya...

So unique premise... I loved the battle at the huge tree at the end. Flamel is so mysterious.

Don't listen to Deanna, this book is actually awesome.

I think it's an excellent choice for kids who started off reading Harry Potter but maybe the later books have a bit too much violence and stuff for them.

it was really good. can't wait to read the others.

Good enough that i'll be checking out the sequel but so far nothing mind blowing. just a nice read. which most days is all i ask

This book was okay. It was a little on the young side and predictable for me but I otherwise enjoyed it. I am hoping that the next one is better.

Ah... finally a little light reading!
