Book2 in The TodHunter Moon series continues where we last left off but with more humor and more Spit Fire. 12+ Alice and Co must try to stop an evil wizard from releasing a creature that could make him the most powerful wizard in the world.

I got this book thinking it was the first of its series. I didn't look at the spine until I had already checked it out. There was nothing I could do about it. And I was thirsty for another Magyk book, so I took the plunge.

As an afterthought I realize that this was a mistake.
This book is about the fabled egg of orm, I suppose it might be in the last book. But I wouldn't know because I haven't read it.
It begins with the sorcerer, Oraton-Marr's (or something like that), point of view. It wasn't very confusing because it introduced the characters well. And I didn't need to have read the first book to figure out what was going on.

Then it switches Kaznim. A young girl living in the desert. The Sorcerer steals her baby sister and threatens to drown her if anyone interfears with the hatching and binding of the orm.
I became fond of Kaznim. And therefore hateful to everyone else. I didn't even like Tod. And Septimus has aged terribly. Honestly! He steals from little girls and then chases after them? In the end Tod was able to redeem herself. But I never liked Septimus again. Perhaps I'd like him better if I'd read the first book. Who knows?

I am going to read the first book and then maybe I'll change my comment.

UPDATE
Reading the first and third books did not help me like Septimus any more.

Which libraries can I find this book at?
