Book Review: Magyk (Septimus Heap, Book 1)


Magyk (Septimus Heap, Book 1)
by Angie Sage
564 pages


Summary:
The seventh son of the seventh son, aptly named
Septimus Heap, is stolen the night he is born by a midwife who pronounces him
dead. That same night, the baby's father, Silas Heap, comes across a bundle in
the snow containing a new born girl with violet eyes. The Heaps take this
helpless newborn into their home, name her Jenna, and raise her as their own.
But who is this myster ious baby girl, and what really happened to their beloved
son Septimus?
The first book in this enthralling new series by Angie Sage
leads readers on a fantastic journey filled with quirky characters and magykal
charms, potions, and spells. Magyk is an original story of lost and rediscovered
identities, rich with humor and heart.

I finished Magyk (Septimus Heap, Book 1) today and I found it entertaining. It's the first book in a series of 5 and I plan on continuing with the series. There were many similaritites to Harrry Potter but that's okay. I found it a quick and fun read.
