Because I read the Cane Chronicles, all to read my favorite Baste is a bad guy is disheartening. NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Sob...it's okay. Give me a moment. :(
Okay, on with my review. It peaked my interest if I can get over some of the notion that some of the gods are now bad guys. The characters are very engaging and there is definately good development. Josh is the one to watch. We get sparks of him going to the dark side.
Pherenelle get captured by John Dee, another immortal and she is a powerful magician. Her husband, not so much. He is a genius Alchemyst. While it does have him deplicted as the star of the book, you find yourself, or at least I do, more interested in the twins and their journey. I do adore Schatach, the little dynamo warrior.
John grabbed the last two pages of the Codex and Dee wants them back. He sends a morgan and Baste to rain hell on the twins and Nicholas Flammel just to retrieve the last two pages back. He serves the Dark Elders. Question is...who does Nicholas and Pherri serve? Hmmmm, that's the question he poses to Josh and now, Josh always has that in mind and starts to mistrust Nicky. Can't blame Josh because Nicky never tells anyone everything.
For instance, Nick takes the twins to Heckete, to awaken the twins magical powers. Turns out, by doing so, she might kill the twins. Nicky firmly believed their aura is so strong, they would have survived but he neglected to tell them that. Heckete only had the chance to awaken Sophie's power and now, Josh suddenly feels left out and a sliver of envy bc they are no longer the same. This feeling is nurtured by John Dee.
