The world of Septimus Heap and the Castle will always be precious to me, and it was a delight to add these three books to the world. To see the heros of the original series all grown up, and to meet some new characters, was so fun.

I will always prefer the original books, and I think these books are written with a less exact hand, but I do enjoy them and I still love Angie Sage's writing. Tod to me is a less compelling character than Septimus or Jenna or any of the original gang, but that is alright.

StarChaser was definitely my favourite of these three books. I was glad we returned to the Pathfinder lore and got to spend more time exploring the ways. I love Princess Driffa and I liked the story with the lapis. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and this series, and while I won't return to it as often as Septimus Heap, I know this won't be the last time I read this.
