I don't want to give away too much so let's just say that this book is about a young wizard who has a really crappy life for a long time and things turn out well in the end (yeah I know not much of a review). It reads like a stand alone novel but there is just enough of a larger storyline to make this a series. It's a quick read and it's YA. Pretty basic but I really really liked the characters and at the end of the day I enjoyed reading the book and would recommend it to some people (but not everyone).
I'll keep reading the series but not right away.

This book upon the first one of the trilogy. New characters come into play and intermingle with the ones from the first book. Thrilling and enamoring right from the get go. A,azing

I was very glad when I came upon these books. The Wizards Heir wasnt quite as good as the Warriors Heir but it was still a very enjoyable read. Beleive the next book in the collection comes out in September. Can't wait. Very good book.

This book couldn't decide if it was the second book in a series, or a good place for new readers to join. And so I'm having trouble deciding how I feel about it. We go over the guilds of Weir several time and the events in The Warrior Heir are alluded to before being outright retold.
I am glad we have a new protagonist, but I never really connected with Seph the same way I did Jack. The evil guys are unbelievably blinded by their arrogance and make so many stupid decisions. We don't get nearly the same training montage so when Seph busts out his skills, I wonder where they came from. I guess wizard training isn't as interesting as warrior training, but it did make it harder for me to keep up with what to expect. There's also the things that were just glossed over
I may or may not come back to this series after I've read the more highly recommended books on my to-read list.

Ellen's not mad at Seph for making her forget about the attack at the picnic?I may or may not come back to this series after I've read the more highly recommended books on my to-read list.

Fast paced, heart pounding page turner!! So glad to find a YA fantasy book that still manages to relate to current social issues that youth face!! Loved it and will keep reading!!

I liked this one much better than the first. I read it in a day and thoroughly enjoyed it.
