The third installment of author Angie Sage’s Septimus Heap saga finds Septimus finds himself thrust back in time and apprenticed to an Alchemist. Meanwhile, the ghost of Jenna’s great (several times over) grandmother is trying to kill her and resume the throne. The same fate of the late queen’s own daughters.
Definately not as good as the first two, as it lacks Some of the freshness and wonder. Still, it has the same tone and Sage keeps the the plot moving, so it is not dull. The ending sets the reader up for the no doubt forthcoming forth installment.
