Publisher's summary

Nicholas Flamel appeared in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter - but did you know he really lived? And his secrets aren't safe! Discover the truth in book three of the New York Times best-selling series the Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel.

The problem: Perenelle Flamel is trapped. What’s worse: Sophie and Josh might soon be as well.

Paris was destroyed by John Dee and Niccolo Machiavelli, but the missing pages of the Book of Abraham the Mage are still protected from Dee and the Dark Elders.

Except Perenelle is imprisoned on Alcatraz and now Scatty is missing, leaving a weakening Nicholas as Sophie and Josh's only protection in Lond, a city Dee has under his control.

The only hope of defeating Dee and escaping London is to find an Elder to teach the twins the third elemental magic - Water Magic. The bad news? The lone option is Gilgamesh the King, and he is absolutely insane.

Thrilling

While listening I often forgot all of these events happen within a few days in the story. There is so much action and amazing descriptions of the world I tend to get lost in the fantasy. 2 quick notes on the writing: 1. Scott loves to repeat words like dung, dung colored, and gossamer threads. 2. He also likes to namedrop famous people. If you listened to it you know what I mean, he still has me hooked though!

Limitless imagination

Would you consider the audio edition of The Sorceress to be better than the print version?

I'd say it's about the same

Who was your favorite character and why?

Nicholas Flamel since he's the one who leads the twins to be able to sort all perils

What about Paul Boehmer’s performance did you like?

he's ok

Great book, can’t stand the narrator

The last two books had great narration but I can’t stand the voice of the person reading this one. His annunciation, scratchy voice, and emotionless reading really takes away from the book’s great story. If he narrates the next one in the series I’ll be reading instead of listening. Very disappointed that the previous narrators weren’t brought back.

Great read and listen

Where does The Sorceress rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This whole series ranks in the top of my read/listen list. This is the 3rd book is series of 6 and all are equally as good as the next.

What other book might you compare The Sorceress to and why?

I found this series when looking for a replacement for the Harry Potter series. I was never a big reader when I was a kid and got into reading with the Potter series and the Dan Brown books. I like The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flemel is a good replacement for each. With is set in modern times and adding the history of the worlds Gods from ancient times and historical figures from real history wrapped into a magical story that spans different realms this series will keep you guessing and on the edge of your seat until the end.

Have you listened to any of Paul Boehmer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes. I have listen to several of Paul's other performances and this one hold to the same standard that I notice that Paul seems to hold his performances too.

Trust Flamel

I cant help but believe the distrust between the twins and Flamel was overplayed. I enjoyed the story but grew tired of that sub-plot.

Let down ... my own fault

First, the book is very good. I listened to the first two and waited anxiously for a few months for this release. My let down is from presuming this series was a trilogy. Arghhh! Three more books to wait for! It was the same with Harry Potter ... worth the wait but the time between volumes passes slowly.
