(Alchemist Academy #1)
Allie Norton never believed she was anyone special, why would she? She was an outsider on all accounts, even her stepfamily didn't want her. But when Allie meets her new next door neighbor, Mark Duval, he opens her eyes to the hidden world of alchemy. When a recruiter for the Alchemist's Academy comes calling, Allie is more than thrilled to answer. With Mark in tow, she bra..more

Alchemists Academy Definitely two thumbs down. I have read a few alchemists books and this one does not come up to any standard. Just taking a bowl and mixing a few ingredients along with an emotion does not a stone make. I could rant on and on but at 66% I had to abandon ship, so I will leave it at these comments.
Read this b/c was in discussion about whether or not Alchemist Academy Book 1 is age-appropriate for a 4th grader [NB: it's not!].. and it's 99¢ on Kindle. It is like a dystopic version of Harry Potter, complete with mean step-family, etc, and far more explicit sex & violence. Although I would certainly have put Alchemist Academy Book 1 down had I not promised to read it, in the end it was better than I thought it would be. It concludes on a cliffhanger [meh!] and I don't think I'll rea..more
Ah, where to start with this gem? This book was by all accounts my least favorite novel written in a fantasy setting, and the only reason I have to include the word novel, which it's to short to really be, is because I don't want is herded in with The Cursed Child, which has taken away my love for Harry's universe. At least this book doesn't taint something I loved and enjoyed. This book was a funny piece of work. It's, well, not enjoyable per say, but it's got some good jokes in there. Honestly..more

Alchemist Academy tells the story of Allie, the main character, who discovers she has the ability to focus her anger to create powerful stones when she mixes certain ingredients together. She’s excited about this ability and the fact that she can go to an academy to hone her skills. There are several characters that create difficulty for Allie, including her stepmother and stepbrother. While at the academy she is faced with having to deal with a world and people she was not prepared for. I was h..more
I have mixed feelings on this book to be honest, I really want to like it but it has a lot of problems. For a book dealing with alchemy we get very little insight as to how the process works other than a vague notion of anger plus random chemicals equals magic. And the main character never seems to be bothered by this for more than 2 minutes despite constantly saying she is eager to learn. I guess you could say it is presents a twist on the tradition. It does cross a line for me with the implied..more
Interesting story I enjoyed this book enough to read it straight through! It was not what I expected at all. I was thinking something closer to Hogwarts and this academy was definitely not at all like Hogwarts. It is very much a Part One requiring further books. You can’t read just one. Way too many things have been left hanging! I can’t wait to get into Book 2 and see if there are answers to all those loose ends! The characters are all still developing and learning about themselves as we learn..more
I feel that the story of the book was really good, but the writing not that much. I didn't felt that much empathy as in other stories that I have read. I feel it is very original, and will suggest it for young adult in the genre of fiction. it has a little bit of a love story, but we don't get to feel the love that occurs there. I feel the story is not taking that much into account Mark and we never get to see his feelings.
Cliffhanger ending Starts off slow but improved as you near the end. The action picks up, the characters become more real and after reading the first chapter of book 2, I look forward to the rest of the book. The Academy is definitely no place you want to be and the teachers will give you nightmares. Even your parents may be the bad guys in this YA romp.

Loved it!!! I love this interesting take on a school for talents.....Not a fun school at all. We follow poor Allie.. forgotten abused mistreated stepchild..who learns that not all have had or who they seem. When a simple experiment turns to a change in living...but is it for the bette..or worse? Love this first book from a New author to me

Did not finish. I was really getting into this book then:one person's trigger was his down syndrome sister being called the r-word the book said these people can't even be passed or counted as human beings because of this I am not going any further with this book.

Shaking my fist That was very captivating. I really loved book 1 and book 2 seems to be great as well. I just finished watching the full metal alchemist and when I read in the book about the philosophers stone, I knew I had to keep reading. I look forward to finishing this series.

What a fun read.. I just read the Preston Six books by this author and really enjoyed them. So I thought I would give this new series a chance. I'm glad I did! Heading to the next book.
Really nice, simple book, it did not blow my mind but I liked it. And i will buy the next one for sure.
Fun read I liked the teenage characters. It was a little turkey on the alcamey but was quick passed and fun.

The entire series was fun and engaging to read and left me anxiously waiting for additional books to be released to discover what was going to happen next to the main characters. This was an easy read so if you are into fantasy and mystical, magical books, this series is a great one to get your mind off of everyday stressors and allows you to loose yourself in a world of make believe that even adults can enjoy,
Mar 03, 2017Rebecca rated it it was ok
Too much unresolved in end. They got out but nothing satisfying at all really. Parts were okay but nonending and so excessively dark.

Original topic for me.. I'm a huge fantasy fiction fan, and thought I'd read about almost everything, but..NOT!!! Alchemy is something I've heard little about. Weave it with interesting characters, social issues and mystery?! You've got this mix!
Jan 28, 2017Shipofools999 rated it it was ok
The book was ok to read but at the end I was left with the feeling of 'why bother?' The magic system is not thought out, which isn't a big deal but it doesn't add anything either. I would have been ok with all of the ick if the book came to a conclusion rather than being the first leg of a series. Ick = hate, vilifying other people, classes that don't teach anything, a budding romance that has absolutely no limitations and still goes nowhere, and more. It was an ok story to pass time but the cha..more

Warped Revenge on a Bully/Tormentor Story I couldn't even come close to finishing this book, it was so terrible. There is a warped theme of hate and torment and taking revenge on bullies and tormentors and the MC having been bullied in her previous high school accepts and even justifies to her potential boyfriend why it's all okay. It's sick, and never ever how I would want someone to learn to deal with a bully or not fitting in at school. Violence and hatred and revenge are never the answer.

Exciting from word one! This book is a non-stop thrill ride! Although this is a YA book, it would be an enjoyable read for anyone. If you loved the Harry Potter series, you'll be sure to enjoy this. The author resurrects alchemy into something interesting. I would have liked some more of the history of alchemy just as a source of reference, but you can get by. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a fun read.
A slow read but interesting enough to keep me reading. Believe-able characters. Will I continue in the series..no
Pretty good book, pretty decent 'magic' system. I'd like to have seen more of the gritty details of how it works. The characters were pretty interesting. Interesting concept, luring young teens into what is essentially a magic item sweatshop. Interesting to see what they end up doing with all of the stones that get made.

Great Read Matt Ryan is a great example of a new breed of Sci-fi adventure writer. This is the start of a second of his series that I am reading and I am sure it will be as good as the other.
I got to have the next one I got angry and slammed my kindle down but I had to pick it back up to find out what happened next. It drew me in and before I knew it I read the hole book.
Good book This is a good book. I have already read the second book. It is a good book as well. I actually can't wait till the third book. I like how there are no clear good or bad guys. Well I better not type anything else.

Interesting series I enjoyed thus starter...it had a different vibe if typical alchemy.Well written.looking forward to more of the same from series
Decent It was alright; a little to slow for my liking but decent enough. Definitely targeted towards a younger group of readers.
Captivating I enjoyed this book immensely and could not put it down. The characters were interesting and I am going to get book 2.

I really wanted to hate this book with all the hate, but with that ending.. I'm hella juiced to read the next one!

Captivating This book kept me interested because it wasn't the usual theme. Captivating the whole book. Looking forward to the other books.
