The Alchemyst by Michael Scott
2.0

⭐️⭐️ didn’t like/was readable but didn’t enjoy it

There were elements of Harry Potter & Percy Jackson in this book, but somehow it still missed the mark. This book almost immediately jumped into the action scenes without allowing us to get to know the main characters a little bit first and that really set it on a bad path. From there I felt very annoyed and confused with decisions made by all of the characters. Most of their actions felt overly dramatic or just plain dumb.
