YA Adventure and Magic

 The Necromancer by Michael Scott

This series is so insanely fast. From book 1 to this book has been one week.The Flamels decide Josh needs a second magic so they take him to Prometheus and he gets fire magic. This is after Sophie has been kidnapped by Scattys twin sister. She gets rescued and they all, including said twin, venture to Prometheus. He gives Josh fire magic. Then, John Dee and Virginia Dare, who have teamed up, get Mars to possess Josh and he comes to them. Once there Dee tells Josh he is going to give him a power that even Nicholas doesn't have: necromancy. Josh agrees and tries to summon a really bad lady; he doesn't know that Dee and Dare are going to sacrifice him to her. But, Sophie and company show up right on time and Scattys twin sacrifices herself to send the bad lady back to her prison realm. Josh picks Dee and leaves Sophie and that's where the book ends. I can see how this series is appealing to younger readers, but between the pace and the actions of the twins it irritates me.
