Magyk

Sorry I haven't written for a while. I just haven't thought about my blog lately.

Magyk by Angie Sage starts out kind of slow, but once you get to the middle it starts to pick up.
Silas Heap is trudging through the snow coming back home to his family of six children and a wife. But then he finds a baby girl in the snow and takes her with him. He opens the door to his home and is surprised as the Matron Midwife rushes out carrying a small bundle. Turns out, that small bundle was Sarah's newly born baby, Septimus Heap. But luckily, Silas has the small baby girl for his wife Sarah to take care of. But sometimes they wonder who the baby girl they named Jenna is, and where their son Septimus is. Sarah suspects that Jenna is the Queenling... but what if she's not?
This book consists of wizards, magogs, witches, and necromancers. The people don't really think much of wizards anymore, but Silas makes sure the Heap family all learn to become wizards, or at least know some spells. All wizards' eyes turn green... all except Jenna's.
I really liked this book, and I'm really enjoying the second in the series (called Flyte).

I also just recently finished Ambush, the last book in the trilogy called Pillagy. It was as good as ever. And, of course, I already finished book two and three of the series Leven Thumps (The Whispered Secret and The Eyes of the Want) and am reading the fourth book, The Wrath of Ezra, all of which I've enjoyed reading. And, thankfully, the second book in the series called Keeper of the Lost Cities is waiting at the library for me. I'm going to try to finish it quickly.

Thanks for reading!
