Blaze of glory

Merry Christmas everybody and today I'm will review a book named Blaze of Glory it is the first book of the series The Laws of Magic it was published in 2006 and it receive a lot of positive review but sadly I will not.

The good
.I loved Caroline
.A lot of mysteries and adventure

The bad
.I didn't like Aubrey and George.
.The story was very slow.
.I don't want to know about this magic or that magic,I mean this is the first book
take it slow you don't see J K Rowling talks about Hocrux or the forbidden spell in the first book,It's okay if you write about it just don't overdo it.

Quick summary
Aubrey is an expert in magic.He always feel that people expect something from him because he is the son of an ex-prime minister.One day he foolishly use a magic that can make him die so he had to use spells to stop death getting near him.Aubrey and George(his best friend)went to a shooting party held by Prince Albert.There Aubrey meets Caroline..................................that's all for now.

The conclusion
Blaze of Glory is a slow paced book filled with magic information and alot of annoying character(My opinion only).I felt really dissapointed because my friend recommend it to me,he even says that it is one of his favourite book in a way it is quite a great book if you don't mind reading it slowly.

Rating:5 out of 10

Oh yes I probably won't write a review for a while.I will probaly continue in the eight or ninth January.Happy New year everyone.

The Sorceress

The Sorceress is a book written by Michael Scott.It is the third book of the series The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel.It was published on 2009.Like the Alchemyst and the magician it receive positive review.

The good
.I loved the chapters about Perenelle,it was absolutely hilarious
.More readable than the first two

The bad
It gets a little repeatitive(They run away from Dee or something then they find an immortal or an Elder to help them,Sophie and Josh Learns something new,The Dark Elders tries to catch but fail,they flee to another country)

Quick summary
They have fled to London but this time itis more dangerous than ever because there are to many Elders and immortal beings working for the Dark Elders there Nicholas gets help from Palamedes a friend of Saint German and William Shakespeare.William once was a student to Dee so Nicholas doesn't quite trust him.The Dark Elders call an Archon a creature that has existed more longer than the Dark Elders themselves they tied to...........................................that all for this summary

The conclusion
The Sorceress is my favourite book in the seies right now it has plenty of humour,action and adventure.the book is fast paced fun to read again and again an a must read book.If the series still plays on the same type of story though it might lose sme audience but I think even though it gets repeatitive I think I will still enjoy the next book to come.

The Magic Thief is a book written by Sarah Prineas.It was publised in 2008.It is the first book of the treiology and it recieve a lot of positive review.

The good
.Very nice illustrations
.The diary helps us understand Nevery better

.some chareacters annoyed me

Quick summary
Conn a pickpocket tried to steal Nevery's(a very powerful wizard)locus magicalicus(a stone that givea a wizard power)it should have killed anyone else who touched it but Conn survived.Nevery was suprised that he was still alive so he decided to take Conn as an apprentice.Nevery is actually a banished wizard but the goverment decide to give him another chance if he can find why magic is dissapearing.Nevery hire a a guy named Benet to.........................that all I can say.

The conclusion
The magic thief is a very good book if you don't mind the annoying characters and some obvious plot but the illustration the secret code and thge diary make it a worthwhile book(I always like something extra I dont actually need it to enjoy a book but it doesn't hurt.It's not a forgettable book but not that much memorable
either.
