10 years later& spies have found the queenling and plan to kill her at midnight. Will she escape?


I loved this book. I listened to the Audio tape and I found out that when I first read Magyk a year ago I missed a whole bunch of stuff. Anyone who loves Harry Potter or Charlie Bone will love the Septimus Heap series. I read the other books in the series and I love this one more than the others.

I loved the characters so much! My favorite character was Boy 412 and Jenna. They are so realistic. I loved the clearness of the story and how realistic it was (not counting the magyk). I cant wait to read the fifth book of the series called Syren. (Do not skip ahead in the series to books that sound better, read all of them in order!)

Look out for the Septimus Heap books!
