Ember The Magician

Este es el segundo libro de la saga de 6 de Michael Scott y es fantástico. Muy recomendado para los amantes de la fantasía. Mezcla hechos históricos con la historia de la saga de una forma brillante.

The twins have escaped to Paris with Nicholas Flamel and Scathach. They find the Comte de Saint-Germain, an immortal (and currently a rock star) who teaches Sophie to use the elemental magic of fire. Saint-Germain's wife, who happens to be Joan of Arc, helps Sophie learn to control her aura, and Josh is given the legendary stone sword, Clarent. Suddenly the house is invaded by three Disir, old enemies of Scathach who have brought along the Nidhogg, a ferocious monster released when Yggdrasil was destroyed. Sophie freezes two of the Disir but the monster drags Scatty off. A frantic chase takes place through the streets of Paris to the River Seine. Josh wounds Nidhogg, but is persuaded to leave with Dee and Niccolo Machiavelli, another immortal. Sophie, Joan & Flamel arrive to save Scatty, only to see her pulled into the river by Dagon, Machiavelli's manservant. Using her aura, Sophie tracks her brother to the catacombs, where Dee has convinced Mars Ultor to awaken him. After a battle, Flamel & the twins escape from the catacombs, straight into a trap set by Dee and Machiavelli; the gargoyles and statues of Notre Dame have come to life and attack them. Their combined powers defeat the statues and they escape to London by train. But what will be waiting for them when they arrive? Don't let young people have all the fun - these books are a great read for adults too!

I loved the storyline! Very good.

La serie l'ho incontrata per caso durante un soggiorno in Austria (il libro era tra le riviste). All'hotel non sapevano che farsene e me l'hanno regalato. Sono stato folgorato! Molto carina, con alcune idee geniali. Alla fine ci si aspetta di più, ma sono ore liete di lettura! P.S. non ho mai letto la versione italiana, ma credo che non cambi...
