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. 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? Bringing fantasy to new heights, Angie Sage continues the journey of Septimus Heap with her trademark humor and all of the clever details readers have come to love.

Septimus Heap #2.
Septimus Heap, Apprentice to the ExtraOrdinary Wizard faces yet more challenges as he settles into his apprenticeship.
Evil DomDaniel continues to attempt to take over the Castle as ExtraOrdinary Wizard by having Jenna, the rightful heir to the throne, killed. Simon Heap is the necromancer's new Apprentice. Fueled by anger at his family and determined to make a name for himself, Simon chases Jenna, determined to capture and kill her.
DomDaniel's plot doesn't end there. He and the Darke Shadow that follows the current ExtraOrdinary Wizard, Marcia Overstrand, are in league to get rid of her.

A worthy continuation of the Septimus Heap saga. May 4, 2008
Magyk succeeded as a great coming of age story extremely well suited to young readers - crackling with action and danger but with a buoyant hopeful quality that didn't cause nightmares in young readers (my son read it in the second grade). Flyte continues this tradition and advances the central narrative in an entertaining and compelling way. Angie Sage's well realized fictional middle-earth style world is still teeming with magical creatures and the action takes us to new places (the slate mines and badlands) and we meet new monsters (wurms) and also revisits familiar places and monsters (the forest and the Wendron witches and the swamps). We also finally get to visit the port - and although we only visit a few places it proves to be a wonderfully dangerous and weird place.
The story of Flyte brings Septimus Heap to the fore at last (Jenna rather dominated the first book, Magyk). He's a great combination of vulnerable and talented (like a lot of 11 year olds). The main adversary is now a sibling - so often the case in real life too. There's plenty of action and the pacing is similarly relentless to Magyk. This, too, is a real page turner. Things wrap up with more weird and satisfying magyk and more development and new abilities for Septimus - laying the foundation for the 3rd in fine style. It's a worthy sequel - building strongly on the well-realized world of the first - but adding new layers and enough new action to keep it fresh. Like Magyk - the balance of gentleness and danger is best suited for kids around the age of the protagonists - but adults in touch with their inner children will enjoy it too. Readers of Magyk will blow through this and be hungry for Physik.
