Ratings and reviews

i love septimus heap, when i took interest in this series of wonderful books, quest had not released yet, i read quest my 3rd read through all the books, when magic papers was being talked about, adulthood took over my life, but now i have some time, and i am going to go through every book. possibly several times. i wish i could change our timeline to make septimus heap, ake the place of harry potter. the magic of septimus heap is palpable. it is an intoxicating world filled with story, and absolutely enjoyable throughout. i love these books, they are hands down my favorite pieces of fantasy across all formats. in the audio version, the voices clash with my imagination, but it was a good natation aside from Marcia overstrand sounding old. i would have used that voice in a later book for the wendorn witches. i am so excited physik is my favorite. can't wait to read that one again 😆😆😆

I really love this book. I read it to my children, after I finished reading myself. Well written, great book.

good book, and the narrator was amazing.
