The two that are one must become the one that is all. One to save the world, one to destroy it. San Francisco: Nicholas and Perenelle Flamel have one day left to live, and one job left to do. They must defend San Francisco. The monsters gathered on Alcatraz Island have been released and are heading toward the city. If they are not stopped, they will destroy everyone and everything in their path. But even with the help of two of the greatest warriors from history and myth, will the Sorceress and the legendary Alchemyst be able to defend the city? Or is it the beginning of the end of the human race? Danu Talis: Sophie and Josh Newman travelled ten thousand years into the past to Danu Talis when they followed Dr. John Dee and Virginia Dare. And it’s on this legendary island that the battle for the world begins and ends. Scathach, Prometheus, Palamedes, Shakespeare, Saint-Germain, and Joan of Arc are also on the island. And no one is sure what – or who – the twins will be fighting for. Today the battle for Danu Talis will be won or lost. But will the twins of legend stand together? Or will they stand apart – one to save the world and one to destroy it?

This book. I don't even now where to start.
Lets start by this. If you see the progress I've made through all the series, you'll se that I have been constantly annoyed by the presence of Josh. I could find moment where I could stand him, but most times I just wanted to slap him in the face. That said, I didn't even felt a ghost of those feelings through the whole book. My image of him gave such a 180° turn. And that ending was killer. I have to admit, it did surprise me. Even though I had this idea that the death was going to be like part of the twins' family, I really didn't expect him to be Josh.
Also, all this people who died...wow, it was hard, and how all the things resolved after all that mess.
And Isis and Osiris. What the Hell!? That was really not what I expected.
Also, I'm kind of intrigued if the Flamels' lived to see another day, I mean, that's what I got.
I really loved how this whole series turned out to be. Not in a million years was I expecting to read all this, I just wasn't expecting it. I finally feel happy about everything in the story. Because every time I finished one of this books I was always so conflicted about something really important. I do have some thoughts about this book, like for example, of Sophie was something important and what character in history will she be. And then what happened to Virginia and the others. But I'm ok, I think I'll live without knowing.
I recommend this books to everyone. I hope you enjoy as much as I did.
Full review to come.
Swaying between 3.5 and 4. The above star rating my change later.
SO MUCH GOING ON IN THIS ONE. A bit confusing in the end as I was trying to connect the dots during the final plot twist but it does come full circle.
I just read a few reviews and I had to stop. A lot of people are complaining about certain things not being answered but they were. You just have to remember many many details revealed in other books.
Short Review: I like this series. But it is too long, has too much fighting, and has too many extra characters that do not add much to the book. This book was about 1/3 more than the rest of the series and just had more of the problems. But I like the way the series ended. It just would have been so much better if it were shorter and less focused on all of the fighting.
