Michael Scott's series The Secrets of The Immortal Nicholas Flamel proceeds with The Sorceress...and I remained hooked! (Wishing I had book four!)Sophie and Josh, the twins who are destined to save the world (maybe?), and several other main characters, including Nicholas and Perenelle Flamel and others we meet in this novel (Shakespeare! Yes, the Bard!), continue their epic adventures.
PAUSE: This series makes me tired. These people, creatures (monsters?), never get a break! Three novels and only a week has passed! Ah, but not tired enough to quit, to lay the novel aside, for my senses are being awakened. A THOUGHT: I wonder if this term awakening might somehow connect to Kate Chopin's novel The Awakening. (this book is on my to-read list for one of my book challenges).
Did I mention that Shakespeare...as in the master writer who wrote Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, Macbeth...and many others...is a character in this novel? Yes! I do truly love Scott's explanation of historical occurrences in this series. (No, I do not agree with them, as in the literal sense, but I sure appreciate them in the fantastical sense.) Very interesting character is Shakespeare!
This week, one of my students questioned me about the cover. The cover! I have been so busy reading that I had not taken the time to analyze the covers. Please remember to do so when you begin this series...please say when and not if.
Promise you...this series you will enjoy!
