"So interesting and couldn’t put it down. "

"it was thrilling and adventure. I read this book in two days!! The characters are interesting and the detail is just the right amount."

"Loved the action and story line. Similar to rangers apprentice in the way it keeps a reader engaged without being nightmarish."

"I love that it's nothing you expect it to be. It has a lot of adventures and brings you in more to read the entire series "

"The characters were pretty cool and it was sort of like Harry Potter. I personally thought the book was boring and I couldn’t even finish it."

"8/10"

"Okay, it's definitely a juvenile fiction novel. So many things were cliché in the book, including the over usage of some terms. Like "aura", if i see that word again, it'll be too soon."

"It’s easier to read if you think about our Nicholas entirely different form J.Ks"

"It might seem a bit weird but... the way they describe how the powers make smells."

"I like the fact this book talked about the elders, the ones at the start of creation. "

"This was a very good book. I couldn't put it down and quickly read the others in the series too."

"I read this book for school, it was very good! I loved the whole set up and everything. Such a calming but exciting book!"

"This entire series was definitely my favorite! Got me wanting to learn more about gods and goddesses!"

"A great late elementary jr high read"

"i HATED the alchemist. it was such a boring read, and for what?? i don't know! i didn't finish it!!!"

"Loved this series!!"

"Absolutely loved this series! It’s a great series if you love Harry Potter! Lots of Magic and Myth!"

"@emily_mcmurphy yes! He’s such a good writer! What about you? "

"Humor magic "

"Oh god, I haven’t read this book in probably around 10 years. I do remember that I liked it. "

"This book is PAINFULLY REPETITIVE. It says things over and over and over and over in only slightly different ways. First Michael Scott shows you something; then he tells you the same thing; then he includes the same information in dialog; then he includes the same information again in the description of how the characters having the dialog are acting or feeling; then (just in case you didn't already get what he was saying) he says the same thing again in a multi-paragraph block of narration. Just in case you forget it, he does the same thing with the same information in the next chapter. And the next. And the next. And the next."

"I did not expect to like this book as much as I did. It is fast paced, interesting and gripping from the first page till the end. Looking forward to reading the 2nd book in the series..."
