Another enjoyable book by Sage. I wasn't quite as enthralled with the second book as I was the first (some of the inventiveness and cuteness seemed lacking just a smidgen) but it was still a good story.
I felt it continued the story and plot well, holding fairly true to the characters and flavor of the first book.

I only have a few... not complaints... but rather things that weren't quite up to 5 stars:
I'm still awaiting further explanation of the magical world (though as More...

Flyte picks up Septimus' story a year later than when the first book of the series ended. It's really Jenna's story, too, as we learn more about the Princess. In this one, Simon Heap (Septimus' older brother) is the villian as he kidnaps Jenna, attacks the Dragon Boat and tries to bring back Domdaniel, the evil Extraordinary Wizard. Good continuation of the series and nice introduction to more characters that I expect we'll see going forward. These are nice books for young adult readers - pr More...

quirky, most definitely something new to the children's bookshelves. these books show a lot imagination and creativity. dark with light humour in between the nasty bits. i like the way angie sage also uses the phonetic spellings of 'magykal' words to show a distinction between the norm and the wizards. her World is full of adventure, surprises and humour.

Here is the summary of Flyte and so Septimus Heap is cleaning his library. So he catches six small spiders and lets them out out of the window. Then Septimus finds a big spider and the spider bits his thumb and then Septimus got the spider and then went to Marcia and she gave him medicine and so then the medicine made his thumb worse. Septimus went to the doctor and had to stay in his bed and do nothing for a week. This is my summary of the book. ( only chapter #1) Izabella G.:)

I've finally broken my streak...I actually liked this (book 2 in the series) the best. This has absolutely never happened to me before! I'm going to have to review some of my other long held beliefs...

Anyway, this is an action packed book which continues the saga of Septimus Heap, long thought of only has Boy 412, but now the apprentice to the most powerful of all wizards. His newfound status, however, has some jealous, including his eldest brother, Simon Heap. Simon aligns himself w More...

In FLYTE we see Septimus as the apprentice to Marcia Overstrand the ExtraOrdinary Wizard. When Simon Heap, the eldest Heap brother kidnaps Jenna, Septimus goes out to search for her. He is assisted in his search by his friend Beetle. But Jenna runs away from Simon's observatory in The Badlands and makes her way towards The Port. Eventually Septimus is able to rescue Jenna with his elder brother Nicko's help from the Port but they are tracked by Sleuth, Simon's tracking ball.
They make their More...

No primeiro volume desta saga travamos conhecimento com os personagens da mesma e com a peculiar cidade onde vivem. A família real desapareceu completamente e o Feiticeiro ExtraOrdinário assume uma posição de comando e governo numa cidade que, ao longo da estória, se nos vai mostrando muitas vezes desgovernada. Quando se nasce numa cidade daquelas já se vem destinado, já se sabe qual o seu futuro e muito dificilmente este é alterado. Septimus é, supostamente, orfão e como tal é enquadrado no exé More...

I loved the first book, and rated it 4 stars because the characters were so three dimensional. I could really understand their motivations and believe in their personalities. This second book struck me as being put together more hurriedly than the first one. There were a lot of "holes" in the story (why do we never see into Marin's thoughts again after he leaves with Simon? Or even have any clear idea if he DID leave with Simon? why is so little mention given to the fate of the dra More...

In the book Flyte by Angie Sage magic was everywhere. Jenna was kidnapped and Simon Heap kidnapped her as she was adapting to her life as a princess in the palace. He kiddnapped her because he was jealous of Silas' place in the family. Silas Heap went to look for her. Silas found a "rock" and he brought it with him. The rock eventually hatched and out came a dragon. Jenna escaped from Simon. Silas needed to find a charm called flyte.

Angie Sage's second installment of the Septimus Heap series, "Flyte," is an quick and entertaining read that will surely engross its target audience of young adults as well as the adult fans of the series like me.

It isn't quite as good as the first installment, but I attribute that to the fact that it is virtually impossible to make a second installment that surpasses its predecessor in quality and shock value. The first book was a series of plot twists and turns that resu More...

The second book in the Septimus Heap series. Flyte relies a little more on deus ex machina than did the first volume, but generally speaking is still an above-average children's fantasy. Picking up about a year after Magyk, the plot is perhaps both a little too complex and, at times, a little too obscure for its payoffs. As in the first book, older readers will quickly figure out the major plot points, but if you enjoy spotting foreshadowing you won't be troubled by this.

Hey..
So, I just finished reading this book. It has been quite a long time when I first read Magyk. It`s really spells its name, as I was enticed to read the continuation of the series. Honestly, I was expecting the next book to be as good as the first one, if not better. But, I guess I have to suppress my disappointment in this sequel.
The story begins with the continuation of the life of Septimus Heap. For the Heaps, Life have been more than ordinary. Sarah Heap was greeted with t More...

These books are addictive! I won't add more than I had a "woah!" moment when I saw the picture the illustrator had drawn for Marcia Overstrand -- I'd pictured her all along as an older, heavier wizard! Boy was I wrong!

Cool book, great series -- on to book three!

I thought "Flyte" by Angie Sage was a great book which was packed with a lot action , detail and suspense that kept me interested throughout the whole book.

"Flyte" begins as Simon Heap , the older brother of Septimus Heap , leaves the Apprentice dinner for Septimus as he cant bear to see his brother get something he has always dreamed of. As Simon leaves , he crossed into the path of DomDaniel's , a necromancer , bones which he picked up and turned evil. Simon kid More...

Okay, I give up on this series. I was hoping it would get better(I was severely disappointed with the first book), but it only got worse. I even tried to give this series another chance by reading book 3, Physik, but it was turning out to be just as horrible to I had to put the book down.

The main character is way too imbalanced. First of all, he's the seventh son of the seventh son, making him someone who is naturally gifted with magykal abilities. He can even make up his own magyk s More...

This series is often compared to Harry Potter, but I think in many ways it’s much different. The only parallels that I see are that it involves a boy, who at one point is an orphan, and magic. Definitely written for a younger audience, the Septimus books have a tendency to be a little silly sometimes and the endings easily resolved. However, in contrast, Sage deftly creates an interesting world with often odd and humorous characters who have the ability to surprise the reader. The plot structure More...

Second book in Angie Sage's Magyk series ... this was even better than the first book. Magyk seemed to introduce so many characters that I had to really concentrate while reading or I got lost. Flyte continues to develop the characters from Magyk and I found myself pulled into their world. Think I'll read the rest of the series.

Flyte merupakan buku kedua yang bercerita tentang Septimus Heap. Setelah diangkat menjadi murid Penyihir Luar Biasa (Marcia Overstrand), ternyata hal itu membuat iri salah satu saudaranya. Selain itu, saudaranya juga ingin menghidupkan kembali DomDaniel, dengan mengumpulkan tulang belulangnya dari Rawa Marram.

My friends John and Erin turned me onto these books and I'm still really enjoying them. I'm listening to the audiobook for Flyte and the narrator is fantastic. The story is becoming more entangled and intricate in this second installment, but retains the readability (listenability?) of the first. I'm ready to go put the third book on hold at the library!

Update: I often find that second books in a series are a bit slow, spending lots of time laying foundational material for the book(s More...

Flyte is the 2nd book from the Septimus Heap series. We now know who Septimus is and we are following his adventures through his brand new wizard apprenticeship. This book is much more face-paced than it's predecessor Magyk and much more exciting. The action starts off right where book 1 finished off, but the happy ending we were left with in book 1 quickly becomes another complicated and long adventure with more magic, more danger and much less predictability. I could still guess the outcom More...

I enjoyed this second in the Septimus Heap series as much as I had the first. I love the quirky characters: Stanley, the message rat, Aunt Zelda, The ExtraOrdinay Wizard Marcia Overstrand, Septimus his brothers, and of course, the Dragon boat. for me, this series is truly an esacpe into a "magykal" world with twists and turns abounding. since I never really, truly, grew up (in my imagination!), the perils and adventures of the "crazy Heap family" and the wizards, Boggar More...

A very good follow-up that continued the cliff-hanger at the end of Magyk. WARNING: DO NOT READ THIS BOOK IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY READ MAGYK. Flyte has extremely good details and will give you a better idea of the setting than most books. It's main competitor is obviously the Harry Potter series, but it is unfair to compare Septimus to Harry because in Septimus Heap books the magic is more ancient and less based on real live, whereas Harry Potter lives in modern-day England and his adventures tak More...
