Book review: "Magykal Papers" by Angie Sage

Warning: This book is not a complete novel. It is instead a beautifully illustrated compendium (i.e., source book) containing private diaries, journals, maps, guides, and flyers set in the fantasy world of Septimus Heap.

This book is ideal for those intimately familiar with the Septimus Heap novels (Books 1-4), Araminta Spookie novels (Sword of the Grotoo, Frognapped, Vampire Brat) and want to know more about the Castle, Wizard Tower, Palace, and surrounding areas.

Unfortunately, those unfamiliar with the series will be lost.

For those who play Magic: the Gathering CCG (game) will be pleasantly surprised to find several illustrations drawn by Mark Zug who also contributed to Magic CCG artwork. For those that play role playing games like Dungeons and Dragons or any fantasy type adventure games will love the lavishly illustrated pages.

Genre: Fantasy fiction
Age recommendation: 10+
