Product Description
After fleeing Ojai, Nicholas, Sophie, Josh, and Scatty emerge in Paris, the City of Lights. Home for Nicholas Flamel. Only this homecoming is anything but sweet. Perenell is still locked up back in Alcatraz and Paris is teeming with enemies. Nicollo Machiavelli, immortal author and celebrated art collector, is working for Dee. He’s after them, and time is running out for Nicholas and Perenell. For every day spent without the Book of Abraham the Mage, they age one year—their magic becoming weaker and their bodies more frail. For Flamel, the Prophesy is becoming more and more clear.
It’s time for Sophie to 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. Josh and Sophie Newman are the world’s only hope—if they don’t turn on each other first.

Great Book for Lovers of Magic July 25, 2008

The first book was great, the Magician is better. I can't wait for Book 3. I really like that most of the characters in the book can be found in Wikipedia. If you are upset like me that Harry Potter is has reached the end of his story, then these books will give you that magical fix. This is definitely one book that I will read again.

This is the first book I have written a review for . I loved it I couldn't put it down. I read the first book and was thrilled to find that there was a second. I immediately ordered it and read it in one sitting. I just couldn't stop. I can't wait for the third book to come out. There is lots of action a great plot to keep you going and lots of twist and turns. Itis a book I can let my gradson read and enjoyu together. This will be a great series
The real heir to the Harry Potter books July 17, 2008

I happened upon this and the first book in the series (The Alchemyst) just before July 4th and have quickly polished them off. For me the use of real historical characters alongside well-researched mythology is nigh irresistible.
The books move along smartly with plenty of action and a narrative that is propulsive and unrelenting. In many ways these feel more like Jim Butcher's Dresden Files books than Harry Potter.
Note that these books are clearly written to be "safe" for a younger audience. No sex, and fairly restrained violence. These are exciting and tense books, but still PG (or maybe barely PG-13).
I am intrigued by the ambiguity around several of the main characters including Machiavelli and Flamel and am eager to see where these books go. Highly recommended.
One of my favorite books July 16, 2008

I love how the author uses figures from mythology and history as characters in his books. This book was one of my favorites along with Eldest and the Harry Potter series. I can't wait to see what will happen. Will the Dark Elders come to rule the planet or will Nicholas Flamel's plans succeed? I will never get enough of this book series and I highly recommend it to anyone, child or adult.
Outstanding! July 14, 2008

This book was a roller coaster of action from beginning to end. I was very impressed with the first book and I'm amazed the author succeeded in making the second book even better. I highly recommend it for all ages, adults included!
