Product Description:

There's trouble at the Castle, and it's all because Merrin Meredith has returned with Darke plans for Septimus. More trouble awaits Septimus and Jenna in the form of Tertius Fume, the ghost of the very first Chief Hermetic Scribe, who is determined to send Septimus on a deadly Queste. But Septimus and Jenna have other plans—they are headed for the mysterious House of Foryx, a place where all Time meets and the place where they fervently hope they will be able to find Nicko and Snorri, who were trapped back in time in physik. But how will Septimus escape the Queste?

Queste, like all the books in the Septimus Heap series, is filled with nonstop action, humor, and fantastical adventure as Septimus continues his journey of Magykal self-discovery.

i bought this for one of my grandsons for christmas and he loves it. he had been wanting it for some time. he's 13 yrs in case anyone wants to know what age group it works for. i'm sure it's geared toward adults too.

- entertaining and light
As another Amazon customer put it, the Septimus Heap series is "entertaining and light" and "not as intense as the Harry Potter series" - I couldn't have put it better. I have enjoyed following the adventures of Septimus Heap, and _Queste_ is no exception. The first half of the story drags a bit, as the plot is unfolded at a much more lesiurely pace than in the other books in the series. The last half, however, makes up for the plodding start, as the questions raised (what *is* the "Queste"? What happened to Snorri and Niko?) are answered, and more information is provided regarding the history of the castle and city, and the connection between alchemists and wizards is clarified. While _Physik_ remains my favorite, this is a fine installment in an entertaining series for young adults.

- Hmmmm
The reason that i'm giving this book a three is because i honestly don't know if i would recommend the series. I have enjoyed all of the previous books and i enjoyed this book but there is just something missing... After each book i feel so unsatisfied, though i'll exempt the first one from this. The books tend to be a bit predictable and the plot is pretty simple, which doesn't really bother me as the characters make up for it. I even don't really mind the bits of detail that she leaves out here or there.

I think my main problem is that there is no general goal for the series and the characters have virtually no development. Just an example of a disappointment (from Physik). She could have had a great plot twist with the bullet with the initials I.P. if she would have planned a ahead a little, but instead she probably thought of it after the fact and tried to make a plot twist by squeezing it ...
