The short stories are a wonderful accompaniment to the series that Micheal Scott wrote on Nicholas Flamel. Even if you haven't read "The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel" series, these stories will delight.
These can be read as a standalone but you will be drawn in to reading the series. While these books are cataloged as Young Adult; They can be enjoyed by adults too.
I totally enjoyed reading each entry and wish there were more!

Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel is a short stories book collection which is written by Michael Scott (Nope. Not 'The Office' one). It contains 8 short stories that are filled with all these mythical characters like dwarfs, vampires, werewolves, etc.

The stories were fun to read as well as short, so they made quick reads. I enjoyed dwelling into the Nicholas Flamel realm and this book surprisingly for me surpassed my expectations. Each story has a well-developed plot that made sense and was not rushed. Overall loved it.

For anyone who is a fan of The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series, this is a must read! Whether you are a recent or 'read many years ago', you will discover the delightful stories that revisit the wonderful mythical characters in the series.

Never read the series, but a fantasy fan? Dive in anyway and sample the world of the Flamels and their cohort. before you dive in to the series. You will not be disappointed.

Gorgeously written, and wonderfully connected through the idea that every legend holds a grain of truth.

It has been years since I read The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series. I adored the series when I was younger and so when I saw this book I jumped at the chance to read it. I wasn’t sure how much I would enjoy reading this collection of short stories since it had been so long and some books do not stand the test of time.

I am very happy to report that I loved these stories! Stepping back into the world of Nicholas Flamel, Scathach & Aoife, Machiavelli, Shadowrealms, and the Elders was so delightful. Each story was engaging and this book pleasantly surpassed my expectations. I love how short the chapters are. It makes for a quick read, despite the size of the book. It’s also nice that they are all compiled together in one volume. I had read one or two previously, and wanted to read the others, but it can be hard to track down a single novella.

For thise who enjoyed the series and want to explore more of the Flamels’ world, I highly recommend this book.
