The Death of Joan of Arc by Michael Scott tells the story of Joan's death in France, 1431. It is extremely short, and I think that the book should've been read after the 4th one in the series. Unfortunately I didn't do that and quite honestly can't remember Joan and Scathach's story lines. I'm also a little confused because of the timey-wimey stuff, but nonetheless, Michael Scott's writing was as expected and followed on from the series. I didn't read the blurb, so the 12 pages were full of suspense and Scathach's appearance was a wonderful surprise. I also enjoyed that it wasn't from Joan's perspective, but I definitely wouldn't mind reading that too.
All in all, I think it must be read if you are already reading or will start reading The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series.
Short review: This is a very short story in the same realm as the rest of the Nicholas Flammel books. Doesn't really add much to the story and the basic are already hinted at in the books. But it is cheap and worth the read if you like the series.
