[Avanish Narumanchi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great series but honestly very confusing at times.

[Lara · Rating 3 out of 5]

A fun little middle grade series. It's a bit like Harry Potter, just not as much so, but still a fun read. Angie Sage is good with big reveals and unexpected twists, so they tend to keep you guessing a little, which is great. Queste, however, was terrible (see my review on that one), but the later books in the series are actually quite good (see my reviews for them, too). They start to get really exciting and suspenseful and complicated, so if you like the first three and can get through Queste, I'm fairly confident you will love them.

One of the best fantasy series ever. There are so many cool concepts and worldbuilding. Words can not describe how much i love this series. I've read it and listened to the audiobooks about 10 times, thats how much I like it.

[Katie · Rating 3 out of 5]

The books are fun and quick to read and have moments that are fairly suspenseful, as well as characters that are endearing and, if not well developed, are at least more developed than say, the hungry caterpillar. Some of the plot points were pretty obvious – for example, in the first book, it’s pretty clear from the start who Boy 412 actually is, but there are a few twists and turns along the way. Additionally, the books all end fairly happily, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing when discussing books marketed at younger people. Unlike Harry, Septimus doesn’t have a mortal enemy, so while the stories have a common theme, none of them end with what I would call a cliff-hanger (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing).

Basically, I’d recommend the books to people who, like me, enjoy every once in a while tapping in with their younger selves. The books are not challenging but they are enjoyable and a nice way to pass a rainy Saturday, which, as you know, happens pretty frequently in the Northwest.

Este libro de literatura juvenil, sencillo de leer, me recordó mis tiempos de adolescencia. Aquellas lecturas aventureras que me mantenían despierta durante horas: la magia, los fantasmas buenos y la intervención de los malos y la tensión que casi echaban a perder la bella trama, la reina y la princesa, las embarcaciones y dragones que echan fuego, los personajes inesperados con una apariencia espantosa pero con una bondad desbordante. Un libro casi infantil pero digno de leerse.

I loved all these books. I am a Harry Potter fan but they are sometimes dark and disturbing. the Septimus Heap books are just as interesting in the quirky characters and amazing landscapes, but less dark. Great reads all

First book in the series is not as good the rest. The author seems to get better with each book.
