Rating: Three Stars
When I started this book, as it was the last book in the Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flammel series, I had a picture in my mind of what I was expecting. Oh, boy, was I wrong. When I finished the book, I wasn't quite sure what had happened. I'm pretty sure I was in shock.
It all comes down to this book. Will the world be saved?
There were many things that I liked about this book, especially how much the ending surprised me. I was thinking that the series would end with everything turning out perfectly, everyone all right, the world is saved and all that. Sure, some of that did still happen, I won't give anything away. But how some characters turned out, especially in the last sections of the book, really changed everything I thought about them and flipped the story completely. Turns out that certain characters were hiding their real personalities, their back stories, and in general what they really wanted out of life. Or, in some cases, their appearance.
That's not to say there weren't parts of this book that I didn't like. The book ends, but there are still characters that you don't know what happened to. The major plots ended suddenly, but I think that there should have been more before the final page of the book to sort of tie it all together. But then again, I did like it like that, in a way. It left a mystery behind, for the reader to wonder about.
The partof the book that bothered me was some of the conversations between the two main characters, Sophie and Josh. I just couldn't picture them saying what they said.
But, in all, I did enjoy reading this book, and I liked the ending of the series.
