Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Husband loves this series

⭐If one has read the first two books of this planned hexad, one can already surmise what is in this third book. If one has not read the first two, then he has come to THE SORCERESS prematurely and should go at once to THE ALCHEMYST followed by THE MAGICIAN, only then coming to THE SORCERESS. None is really a complete stand-alone book. Think of each instead as chapters in a single very large story–and one that is not finished even after this third volume. Scott, perhaps inspired by Rowling’s Harry Potter books, has announced his intention of writing a total of six books in this “Nicholas Flamel” series, so THE SORCERESS should mark the halfway point in the saga. Thus far, both the second and the third book have built upon the preceding volume, and the reader will enjoy (and understand) each much more clearly if he has read the preceding work, so, by all means, read the books in the intended order!In this third book, Scott continues with the same story line, with immortal humans, pre-humans (Dark Elders, Archons, Second Generation), and, of course, the hero and heroine, two teen-age “regular” human twins endowed with magical powers, all locked in battle for the future of the earth. Machiavelli and Dr. John Dee continue their nefarious schemes to capture our magical teenagers and continue to be thwarted in their attempts. In fact, the reader begins to wonder just how patient (or how impotent) their Dark Elder masters are to permit these two supposedly powerful but bumbling henchmen to continue their constantly failing efforts to apprehend the teenagers.Scott does include some really nifty characters in this book. I especially like Aerop-Enap (Old Spider), Gilgamesh and Palamedes. On the other hand, making William Shakespeare an immortal who appears in mechanic’s overalls doesn’t seem to work very well. And throwing in William Bonney (“Billy the Kid”) as another immortal living in San Francisco is really over the top. Heretofore, Scott’s characters have all been either from myth and legend or from the mists of little-known history, making them much easier to accept as other-than-normal beings. Shakespeare and Bonney, on the other hand, are well-studied, widely-known historical persons, and resurrecting them as immortals living in modern times puts a real strain on the reader’s credulity. Scott would have done better to have continued to seek his characters in ancient legends.The book also shows some flaws that suggest haste in its writing and a lack of competent proofreading. There are not many of these flaws, but there are certainly more than in the preceding two books. Once (page 332) Dr. John Dee is described as becoming nauseous as he retrieves the sword Excalibur from the noxious sludge into which it had fallen. Now, “nauseous” describes something or someone that is sickening, that is, something that causes nausea in others. It is not synonymous with “nauseated,” which is the word called for in this context. It is astounding that any competent author would confuse words with two utterly different meanings such as Scott has done here. But there’s more:Later (page 424), referring to a photograph, Machiavelli says, “It served it’s purpose.” This sentence is pure nonsense, for it is saying “It served it is purpose.” The contraction “it’s” is a combination of the pronoun “it” and the verb “is.” What Scott should have used, of course, is the possessive pronoun “its” with no apostrophe. The two forms are totally different and have no similarity at all beyond their superficial spellings. This might be passed off as an anomaly except that it recurs on page 443 when Nicholas, reclining in the sun, lets “it’s warmth embrace him.” Again, the possessive pronoun “its” and the contraction “it is” are in no way synonymous and one cannot be substituted for the other! Has Scott’s publisher hired a new (and inferior) proofreader?One last quibble. At one point, emphasizing his fatigue, Josh is said to have encountered the cat-headed goddess. Perhaps I missed something, but I believe that Bastet never left her car and that only Dr. John Dee had the pleasure of her proximity. I cannot recall that Josh ever encountered her at all. Hasty writing?The story continues apace. As in the previous books, the action is left incomplete to entice the reader to continue with the next book in the series (when it’s published). In this case, we are left with Alcatraz full of monsters, Joan of Arc and Scathach the vegetarian vampire trapped a million years in the past, and Nicholas and Perenelle rapidly aging. Am I going to buy the next volume, which will be entitled THE NECROMANCER, to find out what happens next? You bet I am! However, I sincerely hope that it will not continue this disturbing new trend of grammatical errors and malapropisms, not to mention the fictionalizing of well-known historical figures. It is precisely such blatant errors in the text and the ineffective use of characters such as Shakespeare and Bonney that have earned THE SORCERESS no more than three Amazon stars.

⭐Good read

⭐I am a huge fan of this series. I have read the first book about 5 times, I believe? Also, I’ve read the second book about 3 times. Michael Scott is a very talented writer, and he knows how to keep his readers on the edge of their seats.The second book was a very good one, and ended in a way that made me want the third book right then and there. However, I had to wait…and once I discovered that the third book was published, I bought it right away!I got the book, and finished reading it very quickly. I did enjoy this book a lot, and it did have some pretty amazing events that occured. However, there was one problem that I, personally, had with it….I didnt like how it ended! I’m not sure if anyone would agree with me, but I like a book that ends with suspense. As in, the kind of books that when they end, you have to think,to contemplate, whats going to happen next, and I didn’t feel that with The Sorceress as I did with The Magician or The Alchemyst.Although this book had a kind of…boring, I suppose, ending..I still highly await the fourth book! This series has a very exciting plot that is full of suspense. I cant wait to figure out even more of the challenges that Josh, Sophie, and Nicholas enocounter.I hope my review helped all of those who are intending to buy this book. 🙂

⭐I was excited to feed my Harry Potter book worm with a spin-off of the series. ‘The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel’ series is based on J.K Rowling’s character of the same name in the Harry Potter books who partners with Dumbeldore. Nicholas Flamel creates the Sorcerer’s/Philosopher’s stone and he and his wife live to incredible old age–without aging. ‘The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel’, due to copyright infringements, does not enter the Wizarding World in any way.Having stated that, I need to stress that the only reason I searched this book out and opened the cover was because of it’s tie in with Rowling’s tales. I want to be very clear with others that may have the same impression that this work continues to delve into Harry Potter’s expanded Wizarding World, that it doesn’t.I’ve apparently touched a nerve with fans of Scott’s work with my review.I did read the entire series.I did not love it.I didn’t hate it.It was okay.I will mention the impression the author gives of Perenelle’s hair having human qualities when she’s riled, the tie-in with Yggdrasile, the life tree, that spans different worlds and myths woven within the series, and the various global, magical locations and their connections with lay-lines, have left an impression on me, just not an epic, Harry Potter impression. Which, was what I assumed when I learned the intentional tie-in.

⭐Amazing tale through several books. Enjoyed even more than Harry Potter and we’re big Potter fans. Can’t recommend this enough! I’ve given several copies to young friends. But I enjoyed it as an adult. We even visited the Nicholas Flamel restaurant in Paris!

⭐Just after finishing this book with my son and we are taking turns reading the chapters and I must say this is so much better then other Magical Fantasy books available out there and my son said this first as well. I cant really fault this book in anyway way, from characterization, story, pace and seen setting it is all near to perfect!I think the use of real historical characters adds a completly different almost realistic approach to this genre and makes it so much more interesting. Its also great getting the historical facts on some of the historical characters and my son has been interested in reading up on these people some more as well.With all other series of books that we have read together it was a case that we bought the next one when we were 3/4 the way through. But now we both agreed to stump up and get the last 3 remaining books, and now really looking forward to seeing how the story is going to evolve.Just pull the trigger and buy them all, dont wait to see if you enjoy it, you will!

⭐I was absolutely delighted with my order. Came super quick and the book was in excellent condition for the super cheap bargain price would highly reccomend x thank you x

⭐Brilliant author. Very interesting stories and good deep plots. Throughly enjoyed reading these books. I’ve got to book 5 I think and I’ve got board. It seems like one big story from book 1 that they’ve just had to split into a number of books because they’ve ran out of pages. There isn’t any real differences in plots or story when you start the next book, it’s like you’ve just started a new chapter where usually with books in a series, the next book is based months/years later. Hopefully I’ll pick up the next book soon as I’ve bought them all. Not rated it lower as I have enjoyed the books.

⭐I have read many books from this, my preferred Genre although increasingly there have been few which have ‘hooked’ my interest and have left me wanting to read each book and then move on to the next.Initially I purchased Book 1 (The Alchemyst) from a charity shop, as a cursory glance warranted a closer look. Once I started I sailed through books 1-2 and am just finishing this the third one in the series. I can’t think of the last time I have read a series of books at this speed with it being not unknown for a book to take several months rather than days as in this case.I particularly like the strong storyline and the link to historical and mythical characters. This adds to the undercurrent and main plot surrounding the main characters of Flamel Josh etc.Dislikes? – I can honestly say that so far I have none and am enjoying this thoroughly.Pleasantly this is in no way sterotyped or predictable and I am now looking forward to those further surprises within the remaining books in this lovely and unique collection.

⭐The series just goes from strength to strength. The sorceress described in this book is also just an all round badass. Really can’t recommend it enough for teens.
