Magyk (Septimus Heap)

Magyk (Septimus Heap) - ANGIE SAGE It a pretty typical fantasy story but well told. The Heap family are a pivotal family since the Evil Necromancer DomDaniel has taken over their city. DomDaniel likes things in a military fashion and he's determined to keep any opponents from getting any chance to beat him. He has made things more regimental and everyone in his organisation has a number and a designation. It's dehumanising his underlings and that's good for him because he really doesn't want people thinking about what he's asking them to do. When it's revealed that the youngest Heap is in fact the queen of the town that's when their lives start becoming complicated. It's interesting but a little too predicable for my taste, though I love the illustrations and some of the characters.
