Best read of the year.
I had been waiting for the Magician since I read the Alchemyst. The author has captured my attention. History, fantasy, and mythology are seamlessly blended into a story that pulls you along in an exciting, action-filled plot.
The author rarely wastes our time, every chapter he brings to us new developments, some answers, and yet more questions to be answered in the next novel. The characters are all utterly believable, and the questions that surround characters like Flamel and Dee kept me hooked.
It is rather hard to believe that Scott managed to cram this book in a short time (a day or two,) but living through every second with the characters makes the story, their actions, and everything else more credible.
I simply cannot wait to get my hands on the next book.

Flamel
I ordered The Alchemyst to see if I'd be interested in this proposed series. Even though it is written for young adults, it is interesting to see how the author handles the rumors of Flamel's long life. It's a fun read.

SO much FUN!
Loved every word in this book! I miss the Harry Potter books terribly, and picked up the first book in this series simply because it mentioned Nicholas Flamel, a name I recognized from the first Harry Potter book. I was hooked and waited impatiently for the next book to come out, was so happy to see it! I just finished reading it, and found it better than the first!! I love the inclusion of historical places, and characters! I get thrilled "meeting" characters from the past! It is such a great series!!! I CAN NOT wait for the next one! Great story.
