A follow-up to the Septimus Heap series, peopled with many of the same characters but championed with a new main protagonist, PathFinder is another journey into the magical world created by Angie Sage. And this time she got it dead on. This is a much more solid and enjoyable story.

I love Angie Sage I can't believe it's taken me this long to read the Todhunter Moon books

So Septimus may not have been the main character, but he and the rest of the characters from the previous books are all here playing their parts. And it's wonderful. It's not often that you get a sequel series that includes previous characters having grown up a bit and still being amazing.
I can't wait to read the next two.
But also, Tod is delightful. Following her story of going to be great.

I grew up reading Septimus Heap and now that I finally have a moment to myself, I decided to get to know Alice TodHunter Moon. And I must say, PathFinder is just as delightful as Magyk was. The familiar characters, all grown up (sort of) make this book feel like coming home, and the new characters (and places) set the stage for a most marvelous adventure. Highly recommend.

3.5 stars out of 5.
The book had me yearning for a true extension of the Septimus Heap series.

An excellent follow-up series to Septimus Heap. There are enough of the characters from the orginal books to keep interest, and I really enjoy the new main character Tod.

I wasn't quite expecting to love this the way I did. Everyone we loved before is still there --and now there is a whole new cast to get to know as well.

DNFed with 100 pages to go
I just really didn't vibe with this. The writing was fractured and uninspired and definitely worse than the original series. I did not care for the new characters at all (besides maybe Ferdie). Also the one page long chapters made me fume. Only highlight was seeing the Septimus Heap characters aged up but even that turned into a "why is /this/ character involved like this what the hell?" kind of in the same way you'd see random characters pop up in fanfic. It's a huge shame.

Everyone who knows me knows that I hate unnecessary sequels, and this trilogy certainly falls within that category. However, while I was reading this book I got genuinely hype every time a character from Septimus Heap showed up, so I actually enjoyed the experience for once. I think that says more about my love for the original series than it does about the quality of this sequel trilogy, because I don't care very much about the new characters or plotline introduced, but still, probably one of the better unnecessary sequels I've read.
