Editorial Review:

Product Description:
The seventh son of the seventh son, aptly named Septimus Heap, is stolen the night he is born by a midwife who pronounces him dead. That same night, the baby's father, Silas Heap, comes across a bundle in the snow containing a new born girl with violet eyes. The Heaps take this helpless newborn into their home, name her Jenna, and raise her as their own. But who is this myster ious baby girl, and what really happened to their beloved son Septimus?

The first book in this enthralling new series by Angie Sage leads readers on a fantastic journey filled with quirky characters and magykal charms, potions, and spells. magyk is an original story of lost and rediscovered identities, rich with humor and heart.

Customer Reviews     Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Amazing!!! **Spoiler Alert**
This book was great! I loved the well-developed characters and story-line, but most of all, it was the way that the magyk was portrayed. The magyk in this book was completely different from the magic in Harry Potter, seeing that in Harry Potter the magic is something that people are picked for and then taught, but in Magyk the magyk came from objects that had spells written on them. It was very different, but a good different.
The only thing that I didn't like too much was that, even though you know who Septimus is during almost the entire book, it isn't until the very end that we find out for sure. It was somewhat aggravating. Also, I didn't like how the book switched from character to character.
Well, I hope that this review was helpful and please, enjoy the book.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - great!
well great plot , good humor, but one problem, the spelling. they spell magic as magyk. harm as harme. please take notice that its not angie sage's fault, but the fault of the editor.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - A boring and un-original kids' fantasy book
Here is another children's book that I just could not get into at all. I read the first 75 pages, and even those were tough to get through. As a true Harry Potter fan, I found this book to be seriously missing the mark in the fantasy-magic genre. The characters were not well-written, and for me, when the characters aren't fully developed, I have a very hard time caring at all about any of them. The storyline just bored me to pieces, and a few elements seemed a little too familiar if you are an HP fan (i.e. a spiral staircase that winds its way up a tower, a character with the last name "Trelawney"). I think kids (probably ages 8 to 11) might enjoy this book if they already like the wizard/magic fantasy genre. But this book just did not do it for me.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - When I got Magyk for my birthday, I didn't think much of it ...
I totally recommend this book if you like magic, dragons, and ... WIZARDS! Silas Heap was walking down a path that led to the Castle when he saw a baby. He took it home and found out it was the queen's. Now it all starts.

I think this is a great book because I love magic and adventures. Some parts have more action than others, making those parts better. My favorite part is when they slide down the rubbish chute, because it sounds fun. -- Mitchell




Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - as a teacher, i implore you not to buy into this HACK series
Really Sage, try harder to be rowling and tolkien. You have failed. I only bought this book because it was cheaper on Kindle. The most boring book I have ever read. I was able to skip the last 45% of the book. Just to find out the answer to the mystery was what I knew as soon as the boy showed up. I dont know what warrented this series to go on so long, but I feel bad for those who should realize their time has been wasted.
