Alternative Cover Edition of ISBN 9780552562539 other edition found hereAfter fleeing Ojai, Nicholas, Sophie, Josh, and Scatty emerge in Paris, the City of Lights. Home for Nicholas Flamel. Only this homecoming is anything but sweet. Perenelle is still locked up back in Alcatraz and Paris is teeming with enemies. Niccolo Machiavelli, immortal author and celebrated art collector, is working for Dee. He’s after them, and time is running out for Nicholas and Perenelle. For every day spent without the Book of Abraham the Mage, they age one year-their magic becoming weaker and their bodies more frail. For Flamel, the Prophecy is becoming more and more clear.
It’s time for Sophie to learn the second elemental magic: Fire Magic. And there’s only one man who can teach it to her: Flamel’s old student, the Comte de Saint-Germain-alchemist, magician, and rock star. Josh and Sophie Newman are the world’s only hope-if they don’t turn on each other first.

I still think of Michael Scott from The Office every time I pick these books up. These books are fine, but not at the top of my list for kids' literature. The character development was slightly better in this one for some of the characters -- St. Germain and Joan of Arc felt more fleshed out, and a little bit for Perenelle. Unfortunately, Sophie, Josh, and Flamel remain fairly bland, and Josh's jealousy over Sophie's "awakening" mixed with his fear of losing her has been beaten to death. Add in5 Magical Stars..... This book is everything I want from a mythical fantasy genre and I loved it to the core.Every new character from the myths and legends are extraordinary in their own sense and I love all the characters in it. I get to know more about the history of everything in a magical and detailed way. If you haven't started this series, then you have to definitely start this.
Okay, well I gave two stars to The Alchemyst which is book one in the series and basically thought that it was a bit childish and I probably would not read book 2. The I saw book 2 has a group rating over 4 and thought "well it can't be that bad". So I read it and it was certainly better than book 1. It still wasn't really good though. The story is okay. The magic is that irritating kind where people can do incredible things but then they have to eat or sleep before they can do anything else.
Some magical young adult adventure and excitement...
I think this is the most interesting book series I've read so far. The author has created a whole new universe based on real historical figures, history and ancient lore, in such a way that reading it makes you think it could be actually plausible !The character development is one of the finest I've seen in books of this genre, the plot is brilliant, almost every chapter ends on a cliffhanger or a very important part of the story and the plot twists as so well made that you almost never guess
Actual rating: 4.5 stars
