Great story. ( )

While there is less action and drama than Books 3 and 4, Book 5 is where the plot stews and the drama builds in intensity to prepare the reader to the climax of the final installation of this series. I built more insight into the characters and the nuanced drama. It also ended on a jaw-dropping cliffhanger. The Warlock is the Two Towers or Empire Strikes Back of the series if you will, in a good way. ( )

I enjoyed the series! Very interesting to see the different relationships and perspectives of the different characters. It makes you question how right and wrong really are relative based on experiences. ( )

Alcatraz.
Los planes de los Oscuros Inmemoriales se siguen cumpliendo: dejarán sueltas a las criaturas de Alcatraz en la ciudad de San Francisco para acabar con la raza humana.
Danu Talis.
El Mundo de Sombras es mucho más peligroso de lo que nadie nunca llegó a imaginar, pero el grupo se ha reunido porque debe viajar a Danu Talis y destruirla. La isla también conocida como Atlántida debe desaparecer para que el mundo moderno llegue a existir.
San Francisco.
El final se acerca: Josh Newman ha escogido un bando y no es junto a su hermana Sophie ni a Nicolas Flamel. Peleará junto a Dee y la misteriosa Virginia Dare.

Michael Scott didn't disappoint with this book nearing the end of Josh's and Sophie's adventure. In bringing everyone together with constant action, explanations galore, and releasing monsters, we wait with anticipation the final book in the series. At lot is at stake, actually, everything is at stake. Each twin has chosen their fate, but which of them will save everything and which of them is destined to destroy? Can't wait to find out! ( )
