Septimus Heap: Syren
Oh, I enjoyed Syren so much more than Queste! I'm so glad!
I took this book with me to Guide Camp, but of course I only read a few pages. This week has been a bit ridiculous, so I was thrilled last night when J put herself to bed 45 minutes earlier than usual and I had a bit of time to do some reading.
This book had an adventure and introduced some new characters and new kinds of characters, but I felt like it also could have been the last book in the series if it wanted to be. The loose ends all seemed to be tied up at the end and there's a two year jump between Syren and Darke.
I love that the book developed Milo, Jenna's father, a bit more, but I wish there was more of Silas and Sarah Heap. The strong family relationship is often mentioned, but they don't get a lot of print themselves.
I'm curious about Syrah and what happens to her and I'm hoping that Darke will have more about her in it (the signs are good so far!)
And I've decided that this is a series that I'd like to read with J when she's older...which means I must like it!
