This book was a definite improvement over the third book, and the ending was pretty decent and showed what they would be doing moving forward. I thought it was interesting how he showed what would happen when Allie controlled the stone and how it would still control her. The path to get there was interesting and full of adventure that wasn't too fast like book 3, but I still felt like the very end of it was a bit rushed. My advice for the author moving forward is that he can come up with a pretty good story and series, but he needs to slow down the pace of some of these books and put in more transition, details, and for some of this, maybe a little more character emotion and dynamics. That did stand out as the characters never really changed or grew, but stayed mostly same based on their inner thoughts. PS. I thought the step mom's name was Janet, not Karen.

I'm going to miss this world, I'm so happy I read the Preston 6 first. I loved how the last books in the series had characters from both series interacting . Kylie, Eve. And the two soul stones in the box in Preston 6 if I'm not mistaken were labeled Mark and Allie. What an awesome series they both turned out to be. I even read the authors note at the end, he mentions authors he drew inspiration from...some of my very favorite as well. No wonder he can write stories I love. So far this was a very unique series about other worlds for me. I'm sad I don't know what to read now, I just demolished both series 10 books total in about 3 days...yes I binged A LOT. I guess I should shower now....lol
Book 4 in the alchemist academy series brings lots of action and excitement. Allie and Mark have returned and are ready to take on the Queen but times are different and there are many obstacles to get past including some old enemies.
This has been a good serise up to this one It took me forever it seems to finish this book. lot of stuff was just same old done in other in the series just current locations
Wow! Each one of the books in this series are great. It kept me interested in the characters, while still moving the storyline. Looking forward to more from this author.
