A really great book about magyk, friendship and family!
I think, the plotttwist with Boy 142 aka Septimus was really well written and I suspected nothing. I am excited to read the next one
I really liked it. Quite different from what I expected. I really liked the characters and the interesting world they lived in. I was surprised it took so long to find out who Septimus really was, but I could tell who it was going to be right away. After a certain point I figured that reveal was going to be at the end.
