Summary: It's
been a year since Septimus Heap discovered his real family and true
calling to be a wizard. As Apprentice to ExtraOrdinary 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.
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?
Review:
The second installment of the Septimus Heap series is as good as the
first or actually even better. Angie Sage has shown her indubitable
skill once again in Flyte. I enjoyed the plot of this story very much,
as it was devised exceedingly well. The depth of her characters has not
faltered or faded in the least bit, in fact it is quite the opposite.
Sage is truly a marvelous writer, successfully capturing the essence of
fantasy and shaping it into a delicious epitome of creativity. Bravo!
