Flyte (Septimus Heap, Book 2)

My husband reads to our daughter every night and they both love this collection. My husband says he would read the books on his own without reading to my daughter because how good the stories are. Our daughter is 10, and they are on Quest currently.

Books in good shape looks amazingVery good.

I wasn't quite as enthralled with the second book as I was the first (some of the inventiveness and cuteness seemed lacking just a smidgen) but it was still a good story.I felt it continued the story and plot well, holding fairly true to the characters and flavor of the first book.I only have a few... not complaints... but rather things that weren't quite up to 5 stars:I'm still awaiting further explanation of the magical world (though as it's only book two, I'm not too concerned). I think it's all there, it's just not entirely explained and I think it would be very interesting to learn.A few times I feel Sage has her characters act too young for the rest of their actions. Yes, the cast mainly consists of people under the age of 20, so it makes sense that they would act "young," but sometimes it seems a little out of place (but, not often enough for it to be distracting overall).Finally, (and yes this is super picky!), a few character traits were a tad annoying: i.e. how unbelieving the Heaps are to one of their son's actions, or how it appears that telling someone what to do firmly is all it takes to be a leader. I'm pretty sure that those weren't the intentions Sage had in mind - I'm guessing that she was trying to show more the undying love of a parent, and that leadership comes with maturity not age, but I'm not sure that it came off quite as well as some of her other messages.I was very pleased by some of the new characters and the growth of some of the others. I give Sage credit for not manipulating a plot to get her where she needs to go. She seems to have things well set up and a good idea of where the overall story needs to lead. The book isn't very predictable (happily) in most cases, and I was very curious to see how the story unfolded and it kept my interest to the end. I'm anxious to read the third book, so that's always a good sign.:)It's another nice fantasy story and it doesn't feel like a rehash of many of the other ones. Worth the read!:)

I love this series. I recommend it for those who have a love for fantasy\mystical books. As one who is already reading these books twice, I am starting to appreciate Angie Sage's amazing and detail-rich writing style!

I discovered the Septimus Heap series last fall and I just devoured the series. It is a unique and beautifully written series about a colorful group of characters that you quickly fall in love with. The character development is absolutely wonderful, full of unpredictable twists and turns. This sequel focuses on the beginning of the apprenticeship of Septimus Heap, and his oldest brother Simon's jealous decision to become apprentice for the evil and ultra creepy villain, Dom Daniel. This book has lots of graphic descriptions of Dom Daniel's evil powers, and many frightening scenes of Simon's kidnapping of his adopted sister Jenna, so I would recommend parents' previewing this book before allowing their child to read it.

Angie Sage writes a compelling story in her second novel, Septimus Heap:Flyte. It is a delightful, imaginative, intriging story that takes you into a fantasy that is completely charming full of courage, danger, and Magic. Angie Sage's second novel Septimus Heap:Flyte allows us to continue the journey with the Fledging Apprentice Wizard, Septimus Heap, the young Queenling Jenna, and the wicked, vengeful Simon, among so many compelling characters. This second novel follows faithfully with even more exciting and imaginative writing than her first novel in this series: Septimus Heap: Magyk. Both books are wonderful and I liked them so much that I have purchased for my kindle Fire all 6 books. I even bought the regular books because the art work is wonderful and I would like to reread these books again and again. I look forward to her new Septimus Heap book next spring.

“Flyte,” book two in the Septimus Heap Series, is a fasted paced read with action, humor, and a clever cast of characters. This book is terrifically entertaining. Fans of the first book will love the page-turning sequel to Septimus’s Story. When the evil brother Simon comes to the castle from the badlands, he does not intend to do good. He had learned new evils while he was gone. Septimus and his friend must find a way to stop Simon from doing his worst in the castle.

This is a wonderful series. I’ve read it numerous times so finally bought my own copy instead of waiting on the library copies which are always out!Lots of magic, no swearing or sex. Start with book 1 “Magyk”

Loved the book and the series

Book was delivered in pristine condition. As for the story, it is very engaging and interesting. Read only after having completed the first book. Appropriate for kids.

ce livre fait partie de la série de livres tournant autour de la vie du petit magicien "Septimus Heap".l'auteur a un style d'écriture qui rend la lecture aisée en V.O.l'histoire contient un peu d'aventures, de liens humains, de mystères et tout ça dans un monde empreint de magie. Les rebondissements en font une bonne série, adaptée aux adultes aimant les romans comprenant du surnaturel mais ne maîtrisant pas assez l'anglais pour lire les oeuvres de Tolkien.adaptée également aux enfants qui ont acquis les bases de l'anglais (2 à 3 ans de découverte de la langue + un bon dictionnaire français/anglais suffisent)=> à partir de 8/9 ans environ.le seul point noir : je ne l'ai pas trouvé avec une couverture rigide comme les harry potter

Simon Heap ist auf die dunkle Seite der Macht zu DomDaniel gewechselt. Er möchte seinem neuen Meister helfen wieder an die Macht zu gelangen, damit er allen anderen beweisen kann das er viel mächtiger ist als Septimus. Sein erster Auftrag lautet die Prinzessin zu entführen, was ihm auch gelingt mehr oder weniger!! Nun ist es an Septimus und Nicko ihre Schwester Jenna zu befreien.Familie Heap ist wieder unterwegs!! Einer auf der bösen Seite, die Anderen auf der guten. Septimus begegnet auch endlich seinen anderen Brüdern, die allein im Wald leben und ziemlich verwildert sind. Hoffentlich kommen sie mehr in den nächsten Bändern vor. Septimus gewöhnt sich langsam an sein Leben als Magier und an seine Familie. Er trifft einen alten Bekannten wieder der ihm sehr viel bedeutet und findet einen neuen Kameraden, ich sag nur so viel groß, gefrässig, gefährlich und super niedlich und Sep ist seine neue Mama!!Ich bin total enttäuscht von Simon, er ist ein richtiges Biest geworden, so wie Draco Malfoy. Er ist ja so von sich eingenommen und er sollte ja der Lehrling von Marcia Overstrand, aber nein sein kleiner, gemeiner Bruder hat ihm ja alles versaut!! Hört Simon sich überhaupt selbst zu?? Marcia wollte ihn niemals haben und so toll ist er nun auch nicht. Ich hoffe er bekommt bald gehörig den Kopf gewaschen!!Fazit: Spannend, witzig und unterhaltsam das ist Septimus Heap "Flyte"!! Ich liebe den Schreibstil der Autorin!! Zu dieser Ausgabe bekommt man sogar eine kleine, niedliche CD, aber was drauf ist müsst ihr selbst entdecken!! Das Cover ist mal wieder der Hingucker!!

I loved this book and the set - the characters are great, especially Ullr. If you love stories about magic, dragons and adventures, then this is for you.
