  <default_description>&lt;p&gt; It's been a year since Septimus Heap discovered his real family and true calling to be a wizard. As Apprentice to Extra Ordinary Wizard Marcia Overstrand, he is learning the fine arts of Conjurations, Charms, and other Magyk, while Jenna is adapting to life as the Princess and enjoying the freedom of the Castle. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; But there is something sinister at work. Marcia is constantly trailed by a menacing Darke Shadow, and Septimus's brother Simon seems bent on a revenge no one understands. Why is the Darke Magyk still lingering? &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Bringing fantasy to new heights, Angie Sage continues the journey of &lt;i&gt;Septimus Heap&lt;/i&gt; with her trademark humor and all of the clever details readers have come to love. &lt;/p&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This one was better than the first, although it still had the occasional slow pace and overabundance of description.  I look forward to finding out what happens to Septimus and friends in the next book!<br/><br/><br/>Spoiler:<br/><br/>One thing that really bugged me in this book was the number ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71089551">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[More of a fun, creative world in book 2 of the Septimus Heap story, but I found myself not caring at all about the underdeveloped, stereotypical characters.  It feels like the author spent so long coming up with this clever world that she forgot about everything else that makes a novel worth reading...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61543331">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Flyte is an enjoyable book continuing the Septimus Heap series.  In this installment the young Apprentice must rescue the young Princess from an evil plot by _____. (No, I'm NOT going to spoil it for you!)  Like the first in the series, the heroes and villains are appropriately loveable and contempt...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73630357">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was a good follow-up to the first book, Magyk.  You see how Septimus has now become the apprentice to Marcia, the ordinary wizard.  I like this book because it focuses more on Septimus himself and the growth he must go through to achieve some of his spectacular powers.

    <body><![CDATA[The second volume in the Septimus Heap series picks up some of the loose threads obviously dangling from the end of Magyk.  Most of your favourite characters are here but I was most distressed to discover that Petroc Trelawny doe snot feature.  <br/>More humourous adventures ensue, with a somewhat ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/47774509">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is kind of like Harry Potter-Lite. An enjoyable, although far less developed, version of it. Not for anyone looking for an intense, meaningful read. If you enjoy the occasional light-hearted fantasy and need a break from the adult genre's, this is a very enjoyable pick.<br/><br/>As far as the...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77785195">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is Angie Sage's second book in the Septimus Heap chronicles.  I probably would have given the book a 3 1/2 star but bumped it back to three for a couple of reasons.  Although I love the series and find it fun and magical--which of course seeing as how it is all about magic that is fitting--howe...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71789529">more...</a>]]></body>
