This week's Waiting on Wednesday?
The Warlock
by Michael Scott
by Michael Scott
As far as I can find, this book doesn't have a cover yet, so I posted the cover from the first book in the series!
Release Date: May 24, 2011
Before I first started reading this series I thought, "Oh great, something else profiting off the success of Harry Potter... blah"
I quickly realized this book offers something totally different from the Harry Potter series, and to think of it like that was wholly unfair. Michael Scott is an expert in faerie tales and mythologies, and you can tell that his background is rich in these topics when you read these books.
They play with being immortal, and with being at historical events and possible even being the cause of them.
This sounds intriguing. Nice pick!
ReplyDeletei haven't read any of these books but they look really interesting!
ReplyDeleteHP is one of my all time favey faves! I saw this recently, and at first, I thought the same thing you did. I agree with you that it was unfair to think the author was just trying to make money off the HP series. I really enjoy stories about alchemist. They are a strange and fascinating group of people.
ReplyDeleteGreat pick! Thank you. =)
I keep seeing The Alchemyst at the store and keep passing it up! Next time, I'm totally going to get it. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteI have seen this one in the bookstore and wondered if it might be good. I'll have to pick it up! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOoo..so excited to see this, I had no idea there would be another in this series. Hubby will be thrilled!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, thanks for sharing. I thought the same when I first heard about this book. Thought maybe he got Rowling's permission or something.

Sounds intriguing, I've seen the first one around, so I guess I'll have to pick it up at some point. Sounds like a good book though :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog!
You really made me want to check this series out. I think I've seen this book around, but you've made it sound very intriguing...and you were big enough to admit you rushed to judgement. Good for you. I'm putting it on my TBR list. Thanks for visiting me earlier.
ReplyDeleteSounds good, I've seen these books around but haven't picked them up yet.
ReplyDeleteMy friends have the first book in the series. I haven't had any interest in it. Yet, my friends are raving and I might check into this.
ReplyDeletehmmm... thanks for sharing.. this goes to my tbr pile..
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great WoW pick. I haven't read The Alchemyst yet but I want to get to it soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog earlier. This is what I'm Waiting On this week. J x
I forgot to stop by! My bad...I haven't read any of these books yet. But I wanted to let you know that I ordered the first book in the Tiffany Aching series from Terry Pratchett! I can't wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteHi Julie!
ReplyDeleteI think you'll enjoy your choice XD I think this was one of the few books that I actually found myself laughing out loud at... it's one of those ones that, if read in public places, gets you funny stares because you just start guffawing!
Haven't heard much of this - perhaps it's only me - but happy waiting!:)
ReplyDeleteGreat choice!
