  • TITLE: Physik
    Physik Angie Sage Reviewed by: Ryan Lee Be the Star You Are!® Book Review Team, www.bethestaryouare.org In the third book in Angie Sage’s best-selling Septimus Heap series, the entire cast returns in a new nonsensical adventure that upholds the quirky, humorous style of the previous two books. Septimus Heap and Jenna are continuing their respective lives, but the comfortable atmosphere is disrupted when, in the process of acquiring a new colony of Counter-Feet, Silas Heap unSeals a Sealed room and releases the spirit of the old queen Etheldredda, a terrible and vicious woman. Her five-hundred year old plan to give herself eternal life has endured, as has her unpleasant temperament, and she puts it in play immediately, drawing Jenna and Septimus into her schemes and plots. The ExtraOrdinary Wizard’s Apprentice is promptly hurled back in time to assist Etheldredda’s son, the famed Physician and Alchemist Marcellus Pye, in creating a tincture of immortality that Marcellus wishes to drink in order to escape his fate as a ghastly, five-hundred year-old man. Etheldredda has plans for this tincture as well, and it falls to Jenna, Nicko, the former Young Army soldier Boy 409, and the Trader’s daughter Snorrie Snorrelssen to fix the whole mess and stop the evil old Queen. Physik continues the saga of Septimus Heap, and to my surprise I enjoyed it more than its predecessors. It has all the hallmarks of its predecessors, but expands the cast and has delightfully humorous scenes of an evil queen being repeatedly frustrated by her own plots.

June 14, Yes, she did it! Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. Email Address:. And I most definitely did not expect to see Merrin again — a — surprisingly — rather pleasant surprise. December 25, And Jenna was crowned QUEEN, and oh, my gosh, that was a tearful moment, seeing the little girl who found out her identity on her tenth birthday become the ruler of the Castle, and becoming so brave and strong but retaining that good heart that we had known her for. There is a LOT going on in this book. She also wrote the Todhunter Moon series, and the Magykal Papers, an additional book with extra information about Septimus' world. Marcellus starts tours at the Great Chamber. Interlibrary Loan. Lots of fun! And now that exam week is coming up even if I did find it I'd have to force myself not to read it until I finished studying. I found the prologue description of the creation of the two faced ring a bit tedious and, in general, I think there were far too many ExtraOrdinary Wizards Marcia Overstrand, Alther Mella, Julius Pike, Hotep-Ra, and Septimus Heap for a bit too I have nothing against any of these characters, but having them all around at the same time was a bit too much.

All in all, a satisfying seriesBy Maven of MortarAs an adult, I enjoy good juvenile fantasy and science fiction. The Septimus Heap series is well written and does not have the tendency to restate activities and character actions multiple times. Readers who enjoy references to passing gas and dragon poo will find plenty of that throughout the books. By book seven I hoped the characters would have matured and become better listeners and become more open minded, especially the adults (Marcia and Sarah). In this regard, they did not; all too often character interactions showed that individuals were still not as trustful of each other as you'd hope while developing relationships - even Jenna and Septimus were not clicking as they grew into their roles. I particularly like the fact that Angie Sage always ends each book with a wrap up about all the characters and/or events that were encountered throughout the story.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great ending to a great series. More than meets the eye!By A.

Courtesy of Teens Read TooPar TeensReadTooSeptimus Heap, seventh son of a seventh son, has settled into his life as the Apprentice to the ExtraOrdinary Wizard. Formerly thought to be only an orphan boy serving in the Young Army, it was quite a shock to the Heap family when they discovered that Boy 412 was actually their youngest son, who they believed had died after childbirth. Now that Marcia Overstrand has taken Septimus back to the Wizard Tower as her Apprentice, Septimus is truly learning how to use the Magyk that flows strongly through his lineage.Although DomDaniel is believed dead after the wreck of his boat, and, in fact, the end of the first book in the series saw his skeleton sinking to the bottom of the Marram Marshes, not all members of the Heap family are happy to have the prodigal son return. Simon Heap, the oldest of Silas and Sarah's sons, had always hoped to gain the apprenticeship to the ExtraOrdinary Wizard.
