The Magician by Michael Scott
5 out of 5 stars

The Magician Book Two in the The Secrets of The Immortal Nicholas Flamel series by Michael Scott was a great, fast-paced book.

Nicholas, Scatty, and the twins, Josh and Sophie, have just arrived in Paris, France. But this is no vacation. Two days prior they were normal fifteen year old teenagers whose biggest problem was were to get a job. But now Sophie has Awakened and become even a bigger target to the Elders. While the twins are being chased around the city, Joshs strong doubts about Flamels trustworthiness, grows greater. His decision making starts to cloud when a new feeling of loneliness fill him. Not only is he being chased my powerful, magical people, he feels a wall grow in between him and his sister, Sophie. As motives are uncovered and more secrets gather, the twins start to doubt and lose faith in the few protectors they have.

The Magician was a riveting read. The chapter, though fill back and forth between different side stories and the main plot, ran smoothly. It was easy to stay interested and glued to the book. For any other book, five hundred pages would feel like forever, but for this book it went quickly. Its fast-paced storyline and each perfectly ended chapter, made you take deep breath and didnt force you but drew you into the next chapter.

Michael Scott wove a creative and intriguing world in The Magician that you couldnt help but be pulled into.
