The final adventure in the thrilling Potion Masters trilogy, which tells the story of a secret society of elixirists, B.R.E.W., whose members are responsible for most of the greatest inventions in history and who are battling a covert organization determined to overthrow the potion-making community and control the world.
Gordy’s grandfather, Mezzarix, who is a powerful, evil elixirist, stole the Vessel, the source of power for all potion masters. He fled to Florida to establish a headquarters, declare his manifesto—No More Prisons. No More Rulers. No More Secrets—and launch his final attack. Gordy, an apprentice elixirist, has been hiding in a safe house with his family and friends, but his mom has become increasingly concerned for their safety. Despite her worries, Gordy and his friends enter the underground network known as the Swigs, a haven for renegade potion masters and black-market potions to secure support in the fight against Mezzarix.
Scourges, the name given to potion masters imprisoned by B.R.E.W but who have recently been freed by Mezzarix, attack the Swigs, and Gordy barely escapes with this life. He has to leave his family behind. He heads to the house of his best friend, Max, where his other friends, Sasha and Adilene, join him in making a plan to help find Mezzarix’s secret location.
As the fight intensifies between B.R.E.W and the Scourges, it falls to Gordy and his friends to find Mezzarix and prevent him from corrupting the Vessel, which would plunge the world back into the Dark Ages. With some help from new friends, Gordy realizes it will take a new way of thinking about magic and the art of brewing potions in order to stop his grandfather, save the world, and unite the potion-making community.
The world of Potion Masters is full of fantasy and adventure as Gordy and his friends learn the power of friendship and loyalty, and to trust in their own individual talents.
Caden's Review:
The final book, its finally here! It just seems like yesterday that the first one came out. While it's not the best in its series, it certainly should be on your to read list. The only bad things I could find in it is that the beginning is a little fuzzy and it doesn't do a very good job at explaining where the characters are and what they have done in the space between book two and three. Also, I didn't reread the second book before reading this on so I might just be confused, but I think that some of the character backgrounds are unclear and while it adds to the mystery of the story, it doesn't help me as the reader. But beside this, this is a very good book. It perfectly blends humor with a taste of excitement and adventure.
I love how Frank Cole incorporates inanimate objects like the motorcycle, Estelle. It added to the feel of fantasy and magic. It was also kind of a twist to have some of the bad guys (the swigs) in earlier books to become allies to stop Mezzarix, which was very fun to watch unfold indeed. Just like several great series like Harry Potter, this one ended with a lot of battles which kept the reader hooked. Frank really knows what he's doing doesn't he?
Braden's Review:
This book is even better than the first. I love the ideas and the story line. Frank L. Cole has amazing ideas and is an awesome author. He puts another great part in the Potion Masters series. Here is a book I would suggest to anyone. My favorite character is Bolter. He is funny and great.
Collin's Review:
The third and final book in this series was a fun read. Gordy and
his friends, allies, and "frenemies" all have to work together to
overcome the impossible in this book. The Vessel has been stolen by
none other than his Grandfather, Mezzarix, who wants
to turn the world into a place where no governments/laws/restrictions
exist. With the power of the Vessel, he has the power to do just that.
There will be no electricity, or modern conveniences, and utter chaos
will rule. The most powerful elixerists in
the world are powerless against the vessel. Gordy even has to work
against his own mother, who wants to ship him off to a safe place,
rather than be in danger when the world as we know it ends. What will
Gordy and his friends do? I enjoyed reading all about
Gordy's new challenges, and how he extends himself to meet those
challenges. His Friends and frenemies also have a lot of learning and
working together to do to defeat Mezzarix. For me, the best part was
when Gordy had to make the decision on whether to
join his grandfather(a very tempting thing, as he has all the cards in
this game), or to find a way to defeat him against all odds. I highly
recommend this book.
