This series is getting better and better-and the first novel was already a must-read. I think the level of sophistication is getting above some of my students (grades 5&6), but I still encourage them to read this series. The plot twists are amazing, and each of the three principal characters is growing in his or her abilities. I particularly enjoyed learning Sally’s backstory, as she continues to become a strong female protagonist. Tom, too, is gaining confidence as he proves that he’s not just Christopher’s strong, less-than-intelligent, good natured ox of a friend. I can’t wait for the next installment to take me back in time to the Apothecary’s world. ( )

Another amazing addition the the Blackthorn Key series. This time after saving the King of england from poisoning. Christopher, Tom, and Sally are sent to Paris under fake names and titles to stop the assassins and protect the royals. Clues, codes, danger, and humor. The perfect combination.

I found this to be another great read. Where as I did start to predict some of the answers before hand. I think that is simply because I am starting to understand the way the author thinks, but I would not call the book at all predictable. There are more than enough twists and turns to make you look twice.

The character development is really coming together. Christopher who always sticks to his morals and would gladly give his life for his friends. Tom who is very loyal, but has no problem telling Christopher when hes being foolish, also easily appeased with food. Sally who always find the bright side of things. Where Christopher is book smart she is street smart. Making them a great team.

The book was impossible for me to put down. I found it hurt to put it down even for a few minutes while i went to get myself some coffee. I am so excited for the 4th book which I currently have on the way and I hope for many more books to come. ( )

After an attempt on the life of King Charles is thwarted by Christopher Rowe, the King sends Christopher, Tom, and Sally to Paris and the court of the Sun King, Louis XIV to protect King Charles beloved sister, Minette. Besides court intrigue and politics, Christopher meets an aging ally of his deceased master, Benedict Blackthorne, who provides key assistance in a centuries-old quest for the treasure of the Knights Templar. The three friends continue to delight, especially in their various roles in French high society, making this a great book of adventure and treasure hunting for audiences too young for Dan Brown. I look forward to book #4. ( )

So much fun, wish I had started with book 1 - dang it! But it was like reading a Middle Grade/YA version of the Da Vinci code set in the court of Louis the 14th (the Sun king). I loved all the puzzles and the characters! I'm going back to read the first ones! ( )
