Its a great series for kids 10 and up.and adults 40 and up! ' - Todd, ' I read the entire Septimus Heap series after my sons just to k ow what they were reading. ' I really enjoyed this book, some elements of Harry Potter and similar 'Wizard' stories. Character personality and enviroment description is both detailed and well-done. Entertaining and attractive story wich unfortunately passes a tad fast. I might have given it 5-stars another time, but I'm reaching the end of a fantasy phase and wanting to read something else now.
