This series has definitely taken a turn for the better! I was starting to get a little bored at the end of the third book, but The Necromancer totally renewed my interest in this series. I can't wait to read the next book!

Meh. As this series goes on I'm getting sicker and sicker of the character of Josh. He honestly second-guesses everything. Between him and Sophie, I believe they've gone back and forth between thinking the Flammels are good/bad about 54 times in the span of 4 books and SUPPOSEDLY one week.

Perhaps it's also because Scatach and Joan (view spoiler)[went BACK IN TIME (hide spoiler)] at the end of book 3 and then, OH WAIT, NO!  Turns out they(view spoiler)['re actually just in a convenient shadow realm made to LOOK like prehistoric Earth. (hide spoiler)]

So, basically, this book series (view spoiler)[has jumped the shark. Twice. (hide spoiler)] Which I find astounding given that it is a book series in which we are fully willing to accept the existence of shadow realms, immortal humans, ancient magical beings, monsters, Billy the Kid and Macchiavelli being buds and all manner of ridiculousness... So... It takes a lot for me to say, "(view spoiler)[OH, COME ON! (hide spoiler)]"

I do not plan on reading any more of this series.

Oh, and if you choose to listen to the audiobook, I hope your player allows you to play it at 1.25x speed because that's what I had to do to make the narration bearable. He. Took......... So Many, Pauses.

This book was ok. I will continue to complete the series just because I never start something I can't finish.
