The Sorceress

Now here's a book that has so much stuff in it that it kind of feels like it's made up on the spot. There is lots of adventure, magic, and crazy (sometimes literally) characters. And as a bonus, the descriptions inside have me picturing the settings with great detail. With every chapter, new plot strands start and old ones are tied up. Also, the book follows the points of view of several characters, so there's more room for plot twists, cliffhangers, and other writing tricks. Which there are plenty of. In this series, the third book picked up right after The Magician. Like RIGHT after. The Sorceress is a very good book to pick up for legend fanatics, although you most definitely need to read the first two books before you even think about this one!

Imagine that there are two very powerful immortal men trying to capture you and bring you to your death, your new best friends just got swallowed up in the age of the dinosaurs, and there is a huge and dastardly evil monster, Cernunnos, hunting you down. Then imagine that the person you trusted to find your destiny told you that he killed countless pairs of twins like you and your sibling, doing just that. That is what Sophie and Josh Newman, possibly the all-powerful Twins of Legend, have to deal with at the moment. So now they hardly know what to do in their new world of magic and myth, especially when the intrepid (of a sort) Nicholas Flamel recruits more of his famous, immortal, and just plain insane friends to teach Josh and Sophie Water Magic.
Not to mention separate them even further away from the family and life they knew just days ago.
