Publisher's Summary

Nicholas Flamel appeared in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter - but did you know he really lived? And his secrets aren't safe! Discover the truth in book two of the New York Times best-selling series the Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel.  

The enemies: Dr. John Dee and Niccolo Machiavelli. 

Their plan: Steal the rest of what Nicholas Flamel has fought to protect. 

John Dee has the Book of Abraham the Mage, which means the world is on the brink of ruin. Except he's missing two crucial pages, pages that Nicholas, Sophie, Josh, and the legendary warrior Scatty have taken to Paris. 

But Paris is teeming with enemies - and old acquaintances like Nicollo Machiavelli. On the run and with time running out for Nicholas and his wife, Perenell, Sophie must 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. 

"The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel has everything you loved about Harry Potter, including magic, mystery, and a constant battle of good versus evil." (Bustle)

Wonderful story

Loved it. The book brings fantasy, myth and real life together. Not just for children, an exciting story for adults as well.

Amazing Story

Well written and a great plot that leaves you wanting more. The use of mythology and actual historical fact is brilliant, with a great twist on events.

The Magician

Reading these books for nostalgia sake, i never got to complete it as the series wasn’t completed then. The twins characters are nauseatingly unlikeable and unrelatable, it’s so hard to root for them. They’re just so perfect aren’t they? I like the world Micheal Scott has created but the two protagonists are terrible.

Convoluted amalgam of myth and legend

I found this to be a convoluted amalgam of characyters from myths and legends lazily introduced to present day settings. Characters are one dimensional and I couldn't get myself to care about any of them. The rather 'lecturing" performance of the reader didn't help this.

Voice acting was better in the first book

Bring back the voice actor from the first book, Erik doesn't quite get the ascents right.
