Explanation To Books The Final Formula (The Final Formula #1)
To a master alchemist like Addie, impossible is just another word for challenge. When a fiery explosion destroys the Alchemica, the premier alchemy institute in the United States, she’s left with nothing. No home, no colleagues, and no memory. Learning what happened seems impossible, but she still has one strength, and in her opinion, it’s the only one she needs. She hasn’t forgotten a thing about alchemy.Addie brews a potion to restore her lost past, but remembers only the flames of the Alchemica’s destruction—and a man among the ashes. A man with the elemental power of fire, who just happens to be the leader of the magical community. He might know what happened, but getting him to tell her will require some…creativity. The magical aren’t fond of alchemists. Some say it borders on hatred, but Addie isn’t one to back down from a challenge, even if that challenge happens to be a man who can turn her to ash with a thought.

If I had one word to describe this book, it would be fun. The plot revolves an alchemist's search to figure out how she lost her memory in an explosion and why. But, the book is filled with humor and characters who love to poke fun at one another. I thought the world building could be a bit better to explain the magic and elements and alchemists. But, if you are looking for a fun book with plot twists, humor, and mystery, it's well worth a read.I picked up this book due to an entry on a blog, and it's one of the better ones that I've read recently. In fact, it's the first book in a while that I enjoyed enough to immediately buy the sequel as well as the novella that fits between the two.What would happen if magic returned to the modern world? If some people had the talents to command the elements, to become necromancers, or to learn alchemy? That's the world of this book, and it's a fascinating one complete with new and old magics as
I found my way to The Final Formula looking for a good summer read to help me relax and was pulled in, reading all of the installments one after the other! The romantic elements were fun, but it's the feisty, imperfect heroine who caught my attention, I'm also fascinated by the writer's examination of self. Who are we? Are we the sum of our memories and experiences or can we be anyone we feel like being? Exciting and fun, I will be keeping an eye out for more works by this author.
4.5. I hadnt heard of The Final Formula but decided to take a chance anyway. I was very pleasantly surprised. Great plot. Great characters. Heartbreaking ending.(Pre-review note: I do a lot of cutting and pasting in my reviews, so Im truly sorry if I leave details from one of my previous books.)Plot:Addie was attending Alchemica, a school for alchemists, when it was destroyed by an explosion. She lost most of her memory during the accident, but she does still remember most of the formulas for
The heroine tries to survive in an unfriendly world. She has to find out about her mysterious knowledge. Of course there is a lot of adventure, romance and mystery.The story reads fast and is never boring. I loved the book and I am looking forward to tom 2 of the Final Formula by Becca Andre.To be recommended.Aybi
The Final Formula is a break-neck ride through a parallel Earthworld where much of contemporary life is the same, except alchemy is a recognized profession and "Old Magic" has just returned (about 20 years prior to this story). Having a base of common knowledge between author and reader allows Andre to play with the changes that define this different Ohio. We meet several alchemists, "elementals," and those who are dead (or lack souls) such as hellhounds. Credit Andre for a well thought-out
I personally found the start a little slow, which is why I only rated this a four, but that is completely justified as without the initial groundwork the rest of the book would have crumbled. Once the scenario was set the story was fast paced and well written. Addie (short for Addled Alchemist) is a strong willed, intelligent young women with one major problem - she has no memory of her past, apart from alchemical formula, hence her new found name. The tale follows the adventures she endures in
