No, not the guy from "The Office." The OTHER Michael Scott.
Michael Scott’s bestselling series “The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel” has been called the series to fill the Harry Potter gap and has even merited a publisher-created online game. So does the third book in the series, The Sorceress (out yesterday), live up to the buzz? According to reviews so far, yes!
The sorceress in the story is Nicholas Flamel’s wife Perenelle, who finally gets a chance to show off her power and wit. Confined to Alcatraz since the beginning of the series, Perenelle’s new, more active role should have female fans cheering. Scott continues to bring in new characters from history, expertly weaving them into the action without confusing readers. See what reviewers are saying below, and check out Goodreads for enthusiastic reader reviews (the word “awesome” comes up a lot).
“Scott deftly manages multiple story lines and keeps everything moving pretty quickly, making this third book a real page-turner.” - Amazon.com review
“Immersively imagined, this series remains a great choice to fill the post-Potter vacuum.” – Ian Chipman, Booklist
“Ending in a welter of revelations, reunions and unresolved plotlines, this page-turner promises plenty of action to come.” – Kirkus Reviews
