jbridges3 's review for:
The Alchemyst
by Michael Scott
I am torn in this one as to if this is more of a 3.5 or 4 but halves aren't available so we'll go for 4. The book is quite well written from an authoring perspective. The story is definitely YA in that there are just so many different historically defined "Gods" mucking about that you really have to suspend disbelief to get through it all. The premise is sound (again, in a YA format) but not entirely awe-inspiring. So I guess all I'm saying is that for what it is Michael Scott did a good job. And I'm sure continuing the series would tie together many more stories that would enlighten this world even more. But for now I'm going to attack the rest of the TBR shelf and I'll come back to this series one day when I'm more apt to curl up with a distinctly YA story.
