Well the story now comes to end. It is rather bittersweet for me. I have invested a lot of time with these characters and this world. On the other hand I really liked how it ended, everyone and everything in its place. Lots of adventure and excitement for the Heap family and friends. I have to say that I really enjoyed the this adventure with Jenna, Septimus and Beetle. Such an engaging story. And all good things must come to an end.
In this installment Jenna becomes Queen and Beetle is now our Chief hermetic Scribe and the crew must stop 2 darke wizards from running amuck and causing problems for all. Many obstacles get in the way and it comes right down to the wire.
The world that Angie Sage creates in this series is simply amazing. From ice tunnels to dragon boats it is all so colorful, vivid and magical. It is created with so much depth that you feel as though you could plunge right into the middle of this world while you are reading. It is definitely a place where I could imagine living.
Our characters are all beautifully created, and I love to see them grow in their trades. Jenna fashions herself into a Queens life while Septimus learns both Alchemy and magic. Beetle strives to be recognized for those things he is quite capable of doing to be a chief hermetic scribe. I also like seeing our adult characters grow as people too. Marcia learns to be more accepting of others, Marcellus learns to trust and Silas and Sarah celebrate their time together with their family. So many wonderful characters to laugh with cry with and celebrate with.
I recommend this to anyone that likes the Harry Potter series. Although this one does not really grow on a yearly basis like Harry Potter, and it stays more middle grade, it is still very enjoyable and very engaging.
