In Flyte however, Angie separates the main characters, so that we are forced to switch between them in the plot (*1). The plot in Magyk is very focused, the majority of the characters are in the same place at once, and we follow their progress without much interjection. Angie shows us more of her world in this one, as in Magyk our knowledge of where things were was fairly limited (in fact, we only really knew about two places we move between the castle and the port) – we enter the Badlands, a desert like place where DomDaniel had haunted after Alther (didn’t) push him off of the wizard tower. Again, this makes for a real page turner as we try to pre-empt and predict the plot – once again, this is no mean feat. What more is in store for tribe Heap? Well, don’t let me tell you.įlyte follows in much the same fashion as Magyk the plot is fast moving and snappy, with many things going on at once. Simon seems to have discovered the lost art of flight (he’s a bit wobbly though). Septimus and Nicko set off to find their sister, with a bit of help of course. However, he makes a quick return home to kidnap his sister, like you do. Simon has run off after an argument with his mother. Again, nothing series, just for my own pleasure and a will to share the brilliance of some of the books I have read.įlyte follows the newly acquainted ExtraOrdinary Apprentice, Septimus Heap, a year on from the events of Magyk. The second book in my re-read of the Septimus Heap series.
