- My lack of energy in this video has to do with both my apathy toward this book and the lack of coffee in my system when recording.

I read the first book 9 years ago and it was truly amazing. Couldn’t quite get my hands on the rest of ‘em thereafter. (Also, life got in the way). Fast forward to the present day and I’ve successfully collected all the books in this series. I’m excited to read it all. My life is complete.
this series really changed my life
I must say in my opinion it gets even more amazing and more is explained so you should definitely read the rest of the series but I thought that the first book was very good so my opinion might be wrong in your case
Yeah I understand why someone would like this book, especially if you enjoy mythologies.
So I started reading these books very early on in my life, I was around 11 at the time... I really liked them and finished the second one too but life got in the way and couldn't keep reading the rest. Does anyone know if it's worth reading the rest of the saga now that I'm a little more mature? I'd appreciate any review :)
I really recommend u to read the rest of the series, I promise it'll be worth it no matter what your age is. This whole series bring us to the best imagination world we could ever ask. And for me there's a little twist that makes people who read it will never forget the story even for years. So I suggest u read the whole story. Happy reading btw
@@dyaszil3698 thank you so much for the recommendation! I'll really take it into consideration, probably won't regret it :) happy reading too haha
I can definitely say that the books can be appreciated when we are older. I liked them and shared these books with my mom, who was about 75 years old at the time. She loved them! She really enjoyed the mythology. I hope you enjoy them, too! The series has a lot of twists and turns. Sometimes, I don't always like what happens, or a character I like does something I don't like. But there are so many characters to appreciate. It's a great series for travelling the world from a book.
I enjoyed reading this book about 2 years ago. I have not finished the series but I did read the next book which I have forgotten the title. I like the series so far but that might be because I love reading fantasy and anything to do with Mythology.
just started the first book and I must say it's really interesting. so I googled it and found that it's a 6-book series! amazing! now I have to order the second one on amazon before I finish the alchemist.
+Red Villafuerte Enjoy!

Ratical_Link lol
Ooh, I like your new intro. Very cool! :)
hmmm... maybe I will give it another chance. But only after my book buying ban is over :)
the series do get better, we get introduced to much more characters and the world building explains in the second and third book with much more plot and character development-DANIEL:)
I also didnt like it. The writer is dumping so many myths and historical characters together, and a lot of the times it doesnt make sense. Also the characters are inconsistent. However, i am finishing the series because my local library has so little to offer for english readers :(
Perenelle worked in the book shop with Nicholas not in the coffee shop.
I love the series, and yes, it does get better; at least I thinks so. I believe i was about 24 or 25 when i stared the series. I agreed with what you said about knowing the myths and legends. It's like fanfiction based on them. Lol! I also agree with what you said about Josh. Ugh! I hate him. (>.
josh was annoyingly dim witted
Those aren't the only true people in the books also Nicolo Machiavelli was a real person
+Abdullah Ebrahim Billy the kid was also in there which I found funny.
not to mention Shakespeare
Dr. John dee
I didn’t really enjoy the alchemist that much it took a while for me to get through the book
Well I liked an they were fun good but not great
*facepalm* You are correct. I deserve to get my booktuber card revoked for that one.
May this be a PSA to everyone out there, don't booktube without your daily dose of caffeine.
I've been listening to the series the audio version of all the books the narrator is quite good what the storyline is so tedious repetitious and boring it is so so slow it could have been done with in one story or book and that might have been acceptable listen to it at your own discretion I personally would not recommend
Most of the characters are annoying as hell.
I think I would have liked the books more if the author had used fictional characters instead of historical figures.
I believed the twins were fictional
But I see why it can,be annoying
