Queste (Septimus Heap, Book 4)

This book, 4th in the series,is as interesting and captivating as the first 3 books. I enjoyed reading all Septimus' adventures, and this book actually meets my expectation. I'll say, I recommend to get the series...

the edition we got in our country is totaly diffrent than the one on the internet we dont have any kind of offers such CDs cards and other..
that is not fair..
however i have no comment about this nice cool book ^^

I've read all the Septimus books and I hope that there will be more and more!

Queste is the fourth in a series that combines drama, horror, adventure, hilarity and above all magic. This book continues with Setptimus and Jenna looking for their brother Nicko who was trapped in a different time when they were battling the evil queen Eltheldreda. Overall this book was quite good, it still contains all the things you've come to know and love about the Septimus Heap series. Also, quite a few charecters are added such as Ephaniah Grebe the half-man half-rat. I personally liked the devious Merrin Meredith who returned to try to Darken Septimus's future. Although there were some drawbacks.

A few complaints I have about the book is that it is very confusing, because if you haven't read the first few books you are completely lost which would make it quite difficult for people who just want a quick easy read. Also, the new character Tetrius Fume is quite a mystery. He has no motivation to do what he does, I can't tell you what because it would be a huge spoiler, but it's just wrong in so many ways. Finally, there is the problem of having so many things going on at once. It's hard to follow, but it keeps you engaged in the book.

Of course there are many great things to say of the book such as it's originality and charecter develoment (other that Tetrius Fume) is fantastic. You can really relate to all the chatercters and events. Not only can it provide you with connections but it can bring into a new world which can take you away.

Overall the book deserves an eight out of ten. In order to fully appreciated this book however you must, I can't stress this enough, read the first three books which are:

1. Maygk
2. Flyte
3. Physik

I started reading this series after Harry Potter came to an end. I'm still trying to find something to take his place, and I have really been enjoying this series despite the fact that it is for young adults. All four books have been good enough to read in just a few sittings, and I have no complaints!
