This was an awesome ending to an amazing series. I picked up this book because it had the name Nicholas Flamel and I had heard that name from the Harry Potter series and wanted to know more about him. I am so glad that I did, this series has been a great series to read. I remember picking this book up and reading the first three in the series and then looking up when the other ones in the series would come out and thinking to myself that 2012 was never going to get here fast enough. Well it is now 2012 and The Enchantress has been released and quickly devoured by me. I have to give a hand to Michael Scott who gave such depth and life to these amazing characters who kept me guessing and completely dumbfounded me with the ending of the twins. I didn't not expect the series to end this way. The book kept me guessing all the way up to the last couple of pages, I was confused about the prophecy "One to save the world, One to destroy the world" but he neatly tied up those loose ends. It gave a wonderful ending to the Flamels and made me come to actually like Dr. Dee. He gave a conscience to those who had been working for the dark elders and for that I am very glad, he showed that though you have done bad things in the past that does not always make you a bad person you can change who you are at anytime. The time line of a week had have been the longest week I have ever experienced seven days spread across five years was crazy and the deaths in the book left me crying because I had grown so attached to the characters. The ending has left me speechless, so I tip my hat to Michael Scott for writing such an amazing series and sharing it with all of us.
