( ) Once again, Septimus, Jenna, Beetle, Marcia and the supporting cast of Heaps have to battle the Darke. This time, two evil wizards escape their imprisonment in the two-faced ring, as alchemist Marcellus Pye is working covertly to rebuild the Fyre that will kill them. Aunt Zelda, Wolf Boy, even Hotep Ra, and the Dragon Boat all play important roles in helping our heroes vanquish the Darke. As always, Mark Zug's illustrations are a high point too. I'm sorry to come to the end of this series, though it was a satisfying end. Septimus finally settles into his role as a magic wielder, his family have been reconciled (including Simon, who has fully recovered from his time as a dark magic practicer), and even Marcia & Marcellus are reconciled to each other and to the way their two powers can work harmoniously with each other. I liked especially the glimpses of technology in this final installment. Due to popular request, this review is written by guest blogger, Flagon the Fierce and Friendly Welsh Dragon! YAY! THIS REVIEW HAS BEEN CURTAILED IN PROTEST AT GOODREADS' CENSORSHIP POLICY See the complete review here: http://arbieroo.booklikes.com/post/684242/fyre-angie-sage It feels like so many of my favorite series are ending :( I was so excited to get this audiobook because I love the world of Septimus Heap. I think Angie Sage has created an unique and creative magical world and her use of language is just terrific. She has some of the most intelligent humor I've ever seen in a book intended for this age of child. Sage assumes that the person reading her books is intelligent and never talks down to her audience. I love that. This is one of my top audiobooks so far this year. Gerard Doyle does a fantastic job narrating. I loved seeing Septimus and Jenna grow and take charge of their lives (even though they're just 15). At the end of the day, I was pleased where Sage ended the series (even though I still want more). If you haven't started these books, I highly recommend them. no reviews | add a review
Belongs to SeriesSeptimus Heap (7)
Septimus must battle the remnants of the Dark Domaine, which will remain until the power of the evil Two-Faced Ring is destroyed forever. To accomplish that, the ancient Alchemie Fyre must be relit -- a task that sends Septimus to the very origins of Magyk and Physik, testing both his skills, and his loyalties to ExtraOrdinary Wizard, Marcia Overstrand, and Alchemist Marcellus Pye.
