Terrible. Relying on virtually every fantasy trope available, this is the most pointlessly formulaic book I've ever read. The phrase, “Don't waste your time,” seems tailor-made for this tome.
Loved: I enjoyed the very clear hero's journey.
Meh: Ignoring the middle children! As usual!
What Will Stick: Your gut knows. It knows more about you than YOU know about you. Remember this!!!

My friend persuaded me to start reading this series... and I loved it! Even though there was barely a mention of Septimus Heap in the story except for the beginning and the end, it seemed to revolve around him. The ending was a great surprise (that I had been expecting all along) and definitely lived up to my expectations, and I can't wait to read [b:Flyte 355917 Flyte (Septimus Heap, #2) Angie Sage http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255925109s/355917.jpg 3245408]. The only cons about this book are its loose ties to the series name, Septimus Heap.
Fun read for those that like stories involving magical worlds and wizards. I didn't feel invested in the characters by the end, though, so will probably not continue the series.
