This book reminded me a whole lot of [book:Inkheart|28194] which I also only slightly liked. This series is for the very young reader. If you are a young reader, you would probably enjoy this rambling adventure tale involving all kinds of talking critters, magic, wizards and kids. As an adult, I must say that it was an adventure going nowhere. Sure Princess Jenna, Nicko and Boy 412 got in many pickles and found their way out without injury but I just couldn't see the point to the story. The series is supposed to be about Septimus Heap, yet he didn't feature in this book until the very end. This book was totally about saving the princess from the evil wizard who has killed the Queen and taken over the Wizard Tower. As I said, an ok story but definitely for the youngsters.
