Great book! December 1, 2008
This is the fourth book out of the series and the best yet! I hope there will be more to come!
entertaining and light November 28, 2008
As another Amazon customer put it, the Septimus Heap series is "entertaining and light" and "not as intense as the Harry Potter series" - I couldn't have put it better. I have enjoyed following the adventures of Septimus Heap, and _Queste_ is no exception. The first half of the story drags a bit, as the plot is unfolded at a much more lesiurely pace than in the other books in the series. The last half, however, makes up for the plodding start, as the questions raised (what *is* the "Queste"? What happened to Snorri and Niko?) are answered, and more information is provided regarding the history of the castle and city, and the connection between alchemists and wizards is clarified. While _Physik_ remains my favorite, this is a fine installment in an entertaining series for young adults.
 Hmmmm October 26, 2008
The reason that i'm giving this book a three is because i honestly don't know if i would recommend the series. I have enjoyed all of the previous books and i enjoyed this book but there is just something missing... After each book i feel so unsatisfied, though i'll exempt the first one from this. The books tend to be a bit predictable and the plot is pretty simple, which doesn't really bother me as the characters make up for it. I even don't really mind the bits of detail that she leaves out here or there.
I think my main problem is that there is no general goal for the series and the characters have virtually no development. Just an example of a disappointment (from Physik). She could have had a great plot twist with the bullet with the initials I.P. if she would have planned a ahead a little, but instead she probably thought of it after the fact and tried to make a plot twist by squeezing it in there. In my opinion I lost trust in her writing because now anything is possible if she so decides to flick her pen in the right direction.
Septimus has pretty much been the same character for the last several books and his relationships with his friends/Jenna are pretty much the same. Though there is a bit of development between Jenna and Beetle... Also there is nothing really obvious that is building up for the story of the series. Though there are a couple people in the world that would like to see Septimus hurt. A good series should build up individual books while slowly unraveling the big picture and conflict... Dom is pretty much out of the picture, though he might be brought back again but who knows?, Simon is out of the picture as well, and there is just dom's apprentice... Nothing is really connecting the dots, every round there is just a new conflict. Perhaps these all may be connected somehow and the history with Fume may become more significant. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
I flew through this book and enjoyed it, and i plan on continuing, but if you haven't started the series yet, I would give it another book or two before starting, to avoid unnecessary frustration. I'll make sure to comment on the next book to let you know if she's turning the series in the right direction.
