Death Of Joan Of Arc: A Lost Story From The Secrets Of The Immortal Nicholas Flamel (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
Really only a chapter left out of the previous books, this short (12 pages), short story that doesn't really add anything to the series which I really enjoy. It is told as a deathbed confession of William of York recounting events he was sworn to never tell about the day in 1431 when Joan of Arc was (or was not) burned at the stake. When I was the target age of series like this this would have been a piece of promotional material given away at the bookstore or comic shop, now its an e-book that the publisher can charge a buck for. What would you do if the placed you loved and lived was all of a sudden put in a post-apocalyptic era? What if there was barely any food to survive? What would you do if all there was to eat was your best friend, husband, ore wife. Or even your pet animal. Would you kill them so you could survive one more day. This book had me thinking a lot of what I could possibly do to survive. And even now, I wouldn't know what to do. The plot was fast-paced and had me hooked from the very beginning. I could tell this book would grab me after reading the first chapter. We were able to see a lot of growth in the characters as they made their way through the ash to reach their destination. My favorite character had to be Jack, the rabbit, but sadly he reaches a point where he could no longer go on. I felt tears constantly pick up whenever I read the death of a character. Filled with action, death, sadness, adventure, and the things a good dystopian novel should have. Ashfall will only leave you wanting more. So come give this book a chance and decide what you would do in a situation like this. I give this book 4 souls!
