So I just picked up The Alchemyst (Michael Scott not The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho) again, and Jesus I forgot how wild this book is. It threw me right into the action with magic, alchemy, and a bunch of random historical figures like Nicholas Flamel and Dr. John Dee, except they’re immortal and cool and warriors in an ancient battle or something
I remember loving this series a decade ago, but I don’t see many people talking about it anymore. It’s got that fun mix of mythology and weird kinda crazy fast-paced adventure, kind of like Percy Jackson, but with a different more serious doom and gloom vibe.
Has anyone else read this? What did you think? Does it hold up years later or?

I had a friend recommend it to me last year, and I listened to the entire series at work. I really enjoyed it!
Yess I read these books when I was a teen. I loved them, me and my sister were so excited when the rest of the books were released. I don’t really recall much other than that there was a LOT in them and book 3 was my favorite
It’s been a few years, and there’s several different versions. Are you talking about the one where the two kids got caught in a Time Loop?
Edit: just googled it to be sure. Yes I got the right one. I didn’t see the author at first.
I always got these two books confused
