"One to save the world, one to destroy it." ("The Enchantress" Part 2)

Welp I just finally ended my journey with Josh and Sophie Newman and sigh I suppose it's time to reminisce and what not. Beware of spoilers that may or may not be included in this post.
Okay so I don't remember a whole lot of the entire series but enough that this series coming to a close kind of makes me sad in a nostalgic way like Harry Potter except not as intense. I started this series when I was 17 and remember becoming so fascinated by all these new things I was learning through storytelling. I honestly believe "The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel" has the potential to be held up against Harry Potter. It is as deeply complex and comes full circle in the same way. Ugh it's so beautiful I want to puke.
Now I absolutely recommend these books but there are some things you should be aware of before delving. There are a lot of characters. Like "Game of Thrones" amount (okay maybe not that many) and if you have a bad memory like me you might get confused sometimes. And, as I said in my last post about this book, the author includes a lot of obscure and not so obscure lore and mythology which you don't necessarily need to know but definitely enhances your reading experience if you do. Ugh and let me just say I thought I was going to be insanely heartbroken by the end of this book. So many people were dying and it looked like the "twins" would be separated. But it's not all doom and gloom thankfully.
What I'm trying to say is this a beautiful series that will probably make you smarter. Just saying.

I know I'm late to the party but "If I Stay" is next from my bookshelf.
