I read this series for the first time back when I was ten or eleven, shortly after I read Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. And this series is similar to those two in a lot of ways. Though it’s technically categorized as YA, and the main characters are fifteen, it reads like a middle grade despite the occasional complex word and the glossary worth of names. It’s very interesting coming back to it seven years later, having read so many other books since then and being such a different person. I have a lot of thoughts, and this is a review of the whole series, so buckle up, this is gonna be a long one.
The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel is a six book fantasy series that combines several different mythologies - the author even said in one of the author notes that all the creatures and non-humans in the books are from mythology and all the humans are from history, with the exception of the two main characters, twins Sophie and Josh.
Like your stereotypical fantasy, Sophie and Josh stumble into a situation one day where they realize that magic exists and they are the chosen ones at the center of a prophecy. One of them is destined to save the world and one is destined to destroy it. Nicholas Flamel, legendary alchemist, rumored to have discovered the secret to immortal life (yes, he was an actual person and not just a character from Harry Potter), takes the twins under his wing and embarks on a journey to train them and keep them away from the evil John Dee.
Right away, a thing I noticed is how simplistic the writing is - another reason these books seem like a middle grade to me. The writing quality overall wasn’t that great; when it wasn’t too childish sounding, it was confusing, and it really subtracted from the experience. Also, the whole exposition was so common. It’s like the author looked up “fantasy exposition template” and followed that.
Second of all, the way the magic works is so cool! The author does a good job of describing how it looks and smells. That’s right, smells. Each person’s magic has its own specific color and odor, which I thought was very cool. Also the way all the mythologies are woven together is very clever, even if that means it doesn’t follow the actual mythology very closely. (For example, Hecate from Greek mythology lives in the Yggdrasil, which is from Norse mythology).
The first book goes slow compared to the other ones and does a good job of making sure you’re not confused by the magic or the world building, but really is the least interesting and worst written. The second book gets better with the introduction of chapters from the perspective of the villains John Dee and Machiavelli. The author does a good job of making our villains seem well fleshed out. We can see why they are doing what they are doing, even if we don’t agree with them. Scott said in an author’s note somewhere that John Dee was originally going to be the one mentoring the twins and I can totally see that in the way that he seems more real than Flamel, almost like Scott spent more time characterizing him. It’s also in the second book where the twins really start to doubt who are the “good guys”. That’s something that YA or middle grade books rarely do and I like to see. This theme carries throughout the series: the twins always questioning what they think the right side is. However, they don’t go as deep with it as they could have.
My biggest problem with the whole series is how robotic the twins seem. They act like poorly programmed AI, believing one person, changing their minds, then believing in another person, never really making the choice to just do their own thing. They seem incapable of thinking for themselves. And I don’t know if this is a problem with the author not knowing how to write teenagers, or the fact that these are the only two characters he invented entirely out of his head and that’s why he’s struggling with their characterization, or what, but they just seemed cardboardy. They didn’t seem to have much personality either. And they always were mentioning how much they cared and loved each other. I don’t think siblings do that, even in life or death situations. It really bothered me because these are our main characters that we were supposed to care about and follow through the series and they really weren’t likable. The way I remedied the problem was by focusing on other characters. By the last few books, there were plenty of other chapters from other points of view so I didn’t have to focus on the twins and I could focus on characters that were more interesting and were better written. My favorite duo was definitely Machiavelli and Billy the Kid. Their banter was hilarious.
As the books went on, the plot became more complex, more characters were introduced, and more was happening. These were the same reasons that the last book was my favorite. What started out as a very simple save the world plot became very complex and grew into something that no one would’ve guessed. A lot of characters changed and grew which was cool to see. The ending was pretty amazing, though relatively open-ended. However, throughout the many plot twists, I couldn’t help but feel that something was lacking. Maybe some of the plot twists should have been hinted at better or maybe we should’ve heard more of the twin’s thoughts and emotions, I don’t know. I just felt strangely detached the whole time. Despite the non-stop action, I could put any of these books down at any time. It’s like eating a piece of pizza and knowing it should taste like pizza but instead it tastes like saltines. Maybe it was because there was so much high stakes action the whole time and then the author didn’t do a good enough good of ramping up the action even more towards the end so it just felt anti-climatic. You know, I think that’s it. I think I solved it. The ending was just anticlimactic. Still, I remember liking these books a lot more when I was younger. They never compared to Harry Potter or Percy Jackson, but they were good. Maybe they are just meant for a younger audience. It was good, I enjoyed it, don’t get me wrong, I’m glad I reread it, and I think it will stick with me for a while, especially that ending. It was just not my favorite.

Didn't quite live up to my expectations (2 stars)
I enjoyed this series of six young adult fantasy books by Michael Scott reasonably enough. For the outset, it had great potential, given some of the creative ideas that the author Michael Scott has come up with.
Two 15 year old twins find that their lives turn upside down when they come into contact with the famous alchemist Nicholas Flamel, who is immortal. They quickly find themselves in an epic conflict that includes many other real and imagined characters, including famous names from history like Shakespeare, Joan of Arc, Billy the Kid, the Witch of Endor, and gods of legend like Mars, Bastet, and Odin.
Despite the great premise, the series didn't quite live up to my expectations. In some respects the story is Harry Potter-esque and might appeal to a similar audience. But it lacks the charm of J.K. Rowling's stories and setting, and you never feel as invested in the characters or action. The plot features a lot of fighting, and this becomes a main feature of the suspense rather than a well-developed story with a compelling narrative and interesting characters. This took off some of the shine for me and could have been handled better. Chapters jump constantly and confusingly between different characters, and at times this makes it hard to keep track of things, especially because the stories are peopled with a growing cast of one-dimensional characters and monsters. At times the lines between good and evil become very blurry, and this only serves to add further confusion rather than enjoyment.
Unlike other fantasy stories like Harry Potter, the premise feels somewhat less fantastic, since the story purports to give an alternative history to famous events and people, incorporating heroes of myth and history. I did appreciate the cleverness behind this, and the way that well-known names and events were brought to life as part of the background. But it also made me somewhat uncomfortable, especially when some characters are explicitly called gods that caused humans to evolve.
I was also a little disturbed by the amount of dark magic, eg necromancy, and other techniques that occults today actually use. I'd have preferred a more light and fantastic feel, with better developed characters, and a more detailed story that had more to it than constant fighting between an increasing number of characters. Compared with something like Harry Potter, this is definitely inferior fare.
So yes, there was lots of potential here, but in the end the storytelling and characters don’t live up to what might have been. I forced myself to read to the end, since I had invested in buying the books, but I will stick to better writers in this genre like Diana Wynne Jones.

this was great. lowkey forgot how great. forgot to go book by book cuz i read the complete set but honeslty like one of the best YA novels i’ve ever read. to start the choice to use human characters from history blended with mythologie from as many cultures as he could find is an incredible start. makes so much sense as a concept of this older species that then breaks down across cultures. for the actual books just all good. one of the only YA books i’ve read that actually understands like moral complexity. both to the other characters and you as a reader. the main characters are young and flawed and make mistakes. the human characters have lived for hundreds of years and therefore are obviously complex. and no being can be 10000 years old and not have done good and bad. the characters understand and act upon this, and the author shapes our understanding of the characters through this. the first book flamel is stereotypical like good guy guide protagonist and you as a reader come to district but understand him. their place in the story is as flawed people they state it out. they wouldn’t be where they are without their mistakes. the same for billy, machiavelli, even dee. the most “evil” character in the books. come to be redeemed. or tries to. it’s not that he is bad and became good or the bad supercedes the good. it’s that he is both good and bad. that is the complexity of humans. that’s reflected in the elder race. the ones most complex are the ones closest to humans. mars. prometheus. scathach. and less shown in the ones who view humans as lesser. they don’t understand the complexities of emotion, something more uniquely human. good all throughout man. so well planned. the twist at the end great. hinted but not understood till the last second. but you get ut. everything you need to know is explained without revealing anythjng. everything connects and slots and you just get it. this isn’t just some random event. this is a complex web of plans woven by multiple people. over the course of ten thousand years and beyond. just a good fun read that thought intended for children has actual complexity in character and story and growth and i reccomend to all.

The overall story is very entertaining, it is an adventure, with a lot of family themes in it. Each book has an engaging story and moves along very quickly, 2500 + pages for the entire series seems like a lot but doesn't feel that way while reading it.
The author has the most efficient method of leaving every scene on a cliffhanger sometimes small, sometimes large. The main story centers around obviously Nicholas Flamel and his wife and two teenagers who are central to the evolution of the story. There is a lot of character growth in the story. The characters at the beginning story resemble the characters at the end but have definitely matured and I found my viewpoint was different for each of them by the end of the story.
The author's world building is pretty neat. He uses a lot of alternate world history to explain minor an major plot points. It is fun but can at times feel derivative of other works out there right now, not really a criticism of this book in particular but of the current state of modern fantasy storylines right now.
I didn't find any content that was questionable. Language is clean, there is no drug or sexual references. The book describes violent scenarios but not in any detail that would cause concern. I read this as an adult but this could be recommended for younger audiences. There are episodes that can be intense but not necassarily scary. All in all its definitely worth a read.

I read this series back in highschool. At the time, it was absolutely astounding. So many cool characters, amazing twists, and a grand adventure set in the real world.
10 years later, I am going through them and I find the writing to be very messy. Things are repeated over and over and over. Character motivations are unclear a d underdeveloped. The cast starts strong and small but quickly grows to a huge ensemble, and the characters lose their sense of individuality.
Overall, I do think a younger person will enjoy these quite a bit if they like fantasy, but as an adult, it is not for me.

I loved this series…I couldn’t put it down. The immersion of historical and mythological figures within the narrative was right up my alley. Action packed and brimming with twists and turns, you truly never knew what to expect. I read the whole series in a few months and I even re-read them again last year. I highly recommend these books to anyone who likes fantasy or just reading in general. I think it is aimed more so towards a YA crowd but I imagine a broad range of ages would enjoy this.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this series. Full of historical and mythological characters intertwined with exciting and fantastic fiction. The layers are many, peeling away like the proverbial onion. Holding me back from a 5 star rating is my personal wish for just a little more detail in each of the characters playing their roles in this quick, easy but delightfully entertaining read.
December 6, 2024
I read these a long time ago but I don't really remember them strongly which for me indicates I really just didn't resonated with them really well. What I remember the most is not liking most of the twists at the last book but overall the books were enjoyable enough otherwise I would have not read 6 of them.

Not enough good to outweigh the boring. characters not bad, but to be honest I'm not inclined to read any more from this series.

This was a great series with very interesting characters. Sophie and Josh Newman are two special twins that are thrust into the magical life of the immortal Nicholas Flamel when an evil immortal sorcerer named John Dee shows up and steals the magical codex that keeps Nicholas and his wife Perenelle immortal. Nicholas Flamel soon discovers that Sophie and Josh may just be the twins from legend that either will save the world or destroy it. A fun and exciting series with magical action and adventures all around the globe that will definitely satisfy fans of fantasy and adventure.

The first 2 and the last book were great but the rest not so much
I liked this series because of the excellent world building, but I didn't like most of the characters. I wish they explored more of the magic aspect since we never get a good understanding of the twins powers until the end.
I gave it a 4 star because while I enjoyed the overall story, I feel like the story dragged on too much in the middle books.

Wanted to re-read some of my childhood favorites! Forget how many books were in the series so it took a while to finish. But I was reminded by the attention to detail and the satisfying wrap up of complicated subplots as to why I loved this series growing up! Fun read that’s a page turner even the second time around

If you love a series filled with myth, adventure, excitement, and amazing places. Then sit and open this book. After all the adventure only begins after you've turned the first page.

Novel fantasi-mitologi yang menurutku sangat layak dibaca. Memang tiap bukunya cukup tebal, tapi kisah-kisahnya begitu menarik. Aku suka bagaimana sang penulis mengombinasikan mitologi dan tokoh-tokoh berpengaruh di dunia nyata sebagai bagian dari ceritanya.

I LOVE this series! I have read once with a sibling, again with my daughter and I am waiting to read it again with my youngest. Every time I discover something new that I just didn't register the first time. I love digging into the characters outside of the series.
