smints 's review for:

The Alchemyst by Michael Scott

3.0

---

If you’re looking for good literature, if you’re looking for high art, this is not it, my dude. The characters are inconsistent and there are way too many books (I read this assuming that it was limited to just the one). However, its target audience is not discerning adults such as myself, and for the people it’s intended for, it’s fun, and cute, and if you suspend disbelief it can distract you from life for a bit. So rock on, kids, hope you defeat the looming fantastical issues in your world (we know you will).
Sincerely, reader who understands this is way too similar to Percy Jackson to be chill with copyrights, but would have enjoyed it a lot in middle school
