I give this book 4.5 stars. Good read especially for the third book in a series. I actually think it's better than book two.

This is the last book I remember vaguely reading as a kid. It was fine; the evil queen was a little too evil and frightening for a kid.
I liked the introduction of Snorri and Ullr. And the cliffhanger ending! I’m looking forward to seeing how they solve this problem.

BRILLIANT (as usual)
I won't lie, I forgot most of this book from when I read it as a child- so I thoroughly enjoyed it now that I'm 20. Angie Sage's characters are so lovable and I am so glad I got to grow up with her work.

because it became boring and I decided to read the first book (which I haven't read yet) instead.

Another fantastic installment in this wonderful series! This one contains the introductions of two of my favorite characters: Snorri, who I definitely didn’t give enough credit to in previous reads (she is a HERO) and Beetle, who is just as delightful as I remember.
I love the expansion of our historical knowledge of the Castle, but I felt that the entire plot of the Sicknesse (the main conflict, in theory) was barely present and skated over where it did exist. I also don’t think we really saw enough of a relationship develop between Nicko and Snorri to justify his decision to stay in the past at the end.
Also, I really wished that this book called Physik contained more…well, Physik, especially since we have a pretty good understanding of Magyk by now.

Three books in and im still loving the series. I found, magical and cozy middle grade that is still a pleasant reading experience for adults as well as kids. Kinda bummed that it took me so many years of starting reading the series. 15 years to be exact! But to my defense it's a book that hold a lot of significance due to who gave me it and that sadly passed a year after. But now I can cherish the memory of that person while reading the series
