I really liked this book because it's not too like it's the end but it's not explaining too much.

This was a good sequel to the book magyk. I can't wait to see what the author comes up with next!

A good light read, if not slightly forgettable. The characters pull you in and you ride along with Septimus and Jenna as they try to save the people they love, and themselves, from the dark forces. Add a delightful new pet and the fun just keeps going. Who wouldn't want to fly?

It would be extremely hard to write a book that was better than Magyk, and in this second book in her series, Angie Sage does not quite manage that feat. But all the same this is an extremely enjoyable story, which again mixes an off beat sense of humour with a wonderful tale of danger, deception,

kidnappings, magic, friendship and love.

In this story, Septimus' eldest brother, Simon, is consumed by envy for the younger brother who he feels has stolen his birthright - to be apprenticed to the extraordinary wizard, and consequently he takes matters into his own hands to rectify the injustice.

The story is full of wonderful twists and turns, which leave you hankering after more of everything - except maybe Aunt' Zelda's cooking.

This is a great sequel to the first book, Magyk. Even when you're guessing what's coming up next, Angie Sage surprises you by taking the path less beaten. Wonderful book.

This is one of the best books I have ever read. A must read.

Flyte retains the charm first found in Magyk. Again the best part of Septimus Heap's series is the sense that everything will turn out well in the end. No matter what ills befall our young hero and friends, there is always a silver lining. When Septimus and Nicko is in danger of being eaten by

wolverines in the Forest, they are saved by their grandfather Benjamin Heap who had shape-shifted into a tree long ago. When Spit Fyre destroys the ShadowSafe meant to remove Marcia's Shadow, they discover instead the plot to put a Placement on Marcia and thwart it. When Simon harms the Dragon Boat, Jenna's desperation to save the Dragon Boat leads her to find the Queen's Room. And along the way we are introduced to more of Septimus's magical world of friendly ghosts, mischievous baby dragons and flying ships. And so, I'm off to read the next book in the series.

Another great story! Angie Sage makes the second book just as good as the first. Wonderful characters that you root for and well written bad guys that you just can’t wait to see lose. A must read.

Even better then the first. Looking forward to the next book in the series the set Really like this book.

I read this book at the recommendation of one of my students, and I found it an entertaining story. The characters were a bit flat, and there were some events (like the utter cluelessness of everyone other than Septimus) that made me raise an eyebrow, but I can see how this would be a world that

This is the second book in the Septimus Heap series. In this book, Jenna is kidnapped by her older brother, Simon. Septimus is worried because Jenna is princess and Simon is not the person he used to be. Septimus sets off to find her and asks for help, but nobody believes him. The only person brave

enough to go with him is his other older brother, Nicko. Nicko tries to take Septimus to go meet their other brothers, but Nicko gets them lost. Nicko and Septimus find their lost grandfather who became a tree because he is a shape-shifter. Nicko and Septimus travel to the Port and there they find Jenna. They go to their aunt's house and there Septimus gets a dragon. When Jenna, Nicko and Septimus go back to the castle, they find out that Simon has been trying to get rid of them forever. But Simon's plans went wrong and he left to go back to the Badlands.
I didn't like this book as much as the first book. I thought that this book was almost the same as the first book. I wasn't very interested in this book. The characters didn't do a lot of things in this book like they did the first book. I hope that the third book is a lot better than the second.

Audiobook - I am loving this series - Septimus Heap continues his adventures and i highly recommend this book!!

A wonderful book, carries on nicely from Magyk, the first book in the series. I like it because Simon is Septimus' brother but he attacks him, I also like it because of the end where it explains what happened before.

Not as 'magykal' as the first book, but still a fun listen. I was hugely disappointed that they changed the narrator though.

Septimus Heap has been restored to his family and become the apprentice to the ExtraOrdinary Wizard, Marcia Overstrand. His parents, Silas and Sarah, have moved into the castle with their foster daughter, Princess Jenna. When Simon, Septimus' oldest brother, arrives on a Darke horse and carries

Jenna off, no one seems to take this as seriously as Septimus does. He is determined to save his sister whether he has help or no.

It's hard for me to sum up my reactions to rereads. I have both current and past ideas of the story so wrapped up together that it's hard to make head or tails of it. For example, when I first listened the story, I remember being really taken aback by the change in narrator, and the resulting change in every character's voice. Expecting that this time, and remembering odd bits of the plot, I was not as enamored of the story as before. I still like the characters, but I find myself getting more annoyed with the narration, which tends to add tangents and unnecessary background to the story such as how Nicko learned to swim in a passage discussing his work at the boathouse. While I still think it's necessary for me to reread the books in order to remember what's going on when I finally read Syren for the first time, I often remember plot points just before the story reveals them, which takes the edge off any tension. Still, a series I would recommend.

Although I find these books by Angie Sage to not be as fluid and amazing in sentence structure as the Harry Potter books, I'm totally captured by the plot. After racing through Magyk and Flyte in my quest to find good fantasy series for my 5th grade class, I can't wait to run down to the library

Things seemed to be going pretty good for Septimus Heap. He saved the world from DonDaniel, reunited with his family for the most part, and is now the Apprentice to Marcia, the ExtraOrdinary Wizard. Not bad for someone who previously had no idenity.

I enjoyed this much more than the first one, but for its size the book lacks depth hence only 3 stars. Yet again I would recommend this for 10 year old child's bedtime story, plenty of things for a young imagination to play with.
