Queste (Septimus Heap, Book 4)
Date undefinedAs 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.
