  <default_description>&lt;p&gt; There's trouble at the Castle, and it's all because Merrin Meredith has returned with Darke plans for Septimus. More trouble awaits Septimus and Jenna in the form of Tertius Fume, the ghost of the very first Chief Hermetic Scribe, who is determined to send Septimus on a deadly Queste. But Septimus and Jenna have other plans&amp;#8212;they are headed for the mysterious House of Foryx, a place where all Time meets and the place where they fervently hope they will be able to find Nicko and Snorri, who were trapped back in time in physik. But how will Septimus escape the Queste? &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;i&gt;Queste&lt;/i&gt;, like all the books in the Septimus Heap series, is filled with nonstop action, humor, and fantastical adventure as Septimus continues his journey of Magykal self-discovery. &lt;/p&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[While this book was good, I didn't think it was as well done as the other <em>Septimus Heap</em> books.

    <body><![CDATA[So of course I finished the series.  I think this author has talent, but these books were too much like Harry Potter.<br/><br/>Just a side note, I love to read YA fiction and Middle Grade fiction, and whether you want me to or not, I'm going to tell you why.<br/>I've read books like Les Miserable...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75035461">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really enjoyed this fourth book in the Septimus Heap series and can't wait for the fifth to come out next month. The plots keeping getting better and better as the series progresses. My only complaint is Jenna. She's getting to be very bossy and it's rather making me dislike her anymore.

    <body><![CDATA[I was ok with the first three books, but now I'm starting to like Septimus.  I think I'd actually give this 3 1/2 stars if I could.  I'm looking forward to the next book!  Apparently she plans on writing seven, if I've read her web site correctly. <br/><br/>I am still waiting to hear about the dra...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57480817">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Not sure what it is about this series that fascinates me so much, but despite the writing meant for readers at a much lower level than the books I normally read, something about these books keeps me coming back for the next installment. Could it be a really good story? Probably. Or maybe it's the hu...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74368739">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I’m excited about this series.  It has become more complex.  There is more then one villain to deal with.  Simon coming to see his wrongs and wants to be forgiven.  The story of Simon and Lucy’s story is a love story.  How can you not want them to live happily ever after?  Now there are loose en...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68781516">more...</a>]]></body>
