The Darke Toad by Angie Sage

5.0

I really liked this book, she has kept the characters the same as always, very likable, and the plot was great. I was happy that she redeemed Simon a bit in this book, I'm glad he kind of "saved the day" and has given up being one of the bad guys. In this book Septimus is about to start his Darke week. He wishes to rescue Alther from the Darke Halls, who at the beginning of the book is accidentally Banished by Marcia. But right before embarking on this rescue mission, the characters discover that Merrin has created a Darke Domain in the castle. This book focuses on stopping Merrin and recovering the castle from Darkeness. My favorite part of the book would definitely have to be the dragon and rider versus dragon and rider part at the end. I was very happy to finally get my hands on this book, and I am pleased to say that this book did not disappoint. Another great addition to the Magyk series, I am looking forward to the 7th book in this series.
