Flyte (Septimus Heap, Book 2)


#55
Title: Flyte (Septimus Heap, Book 2)
Author: Angie Sage
Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books
Year: 2006
Genre: Children's fantasy
532 pages

The second book in the Septimus Heap series. Flyte relies a little more on deus ex machina than did the first volume, but generally speaking is still an above-average children's fantasy. Picking up about a year after Magyk, the plot is perhaps both a little too complex and, at times, a little too obscure for its payoffs. As in the first book, older readers will quickly figure out the major plot points, but if you enjoy spotting foreshadowing you won't be troubled by this.
