Author: Michael Scott

Lots of action in this third volume, plus some character development for Machiavelli, Dee, and Perenelle Flamel. There's also a reasonable amount of foreshadowing of what the implications of being the legendary twins may be for the twin Sophie and Josh.
More than the action, however, this installment is about maturing and questioning authority; in this case, Flamel. It is about seeing authorities/adults as human and fallible, balancing contempt for their weaknesses and faults against their good deeds and intentions. It is about balance, which parallels the books' pervasive concern about and symbolism reflecting the ideas of balance and harmony.
