Sixteen-year-old Seph McCauley has spent the past three years getting kicked out of one exclusive private school after another. And it's not his attitude that's the problem: it's the trail of magical accidents - lately, disasters - that follow in his wake. Seph is a wizard, orphaned and untrained, and his powers are escalating out of control.After causing a tragic fire at an after-hours party, Seph is sent to the Havens, a secluded boys' school on the coast of Maine. Gregory Leicester, the headmaster, promises to train Seph in magic and initiate him into his mysterious order of wizards.

A nice step up from the first installment, The Warrior Heir. To me, this was a more, surprisingly darker novel than the last book; it does have some hard to read scenes. I think Seph had some amazing character development, just like Jack had in his book. I like how instead of your usual series where it follows just a set of characters(usually a trio: two boys, one girl most likely), INSTEAD, each book focuses on an individual character, with the other characters as cameos. Not really companionThe writing was superb. Very imaginative and it was a fresh take on wizards for me but I just could not seem to connect with it or the characters. I don't know why. It took me till nearly the very end of the book to really get into it.

Honestly, when I started this book, I didn't have high hopes. The first one intrigued me enough to read the second one, but I wasn't too fond of it. Then I read this one, and I was blown away. It's was an amazing book, and the storyline kept me on the edge of my seat. It was full of twists and turns, and I loved it. Also, the fantasy was explained much better in this book than in the first one. I highly recommend.
I know I gave this a lower score than the original despite a better story and slightly better characters. The real problem here is the author either refuses to do a necessary final draft or writes that inconsistently. There are points in the story where she'll go from moments of vast detail to none at all. There is a scene where the main character and the antagonist are trying to overpower each other with magic. She describes their strain and struggle for about three paragraphs. Then out of the
Before getting to the review for The Wizard Heir let's jump back in time to when I first discovered Cinda Williams Chima. I had finished the Lumatere Chronicles by Melina Marchetta and I was in love. I still am. It's amazing. Anyway, everyone in my Goodreads group was talking about the Seven Realms series. It took me a long time to give in, I think close to a year, but I finally picked up the first book. I devoured it. Then I ordered the rest of the books and read them back to back. It was
It feels strange to have come to the second book in the series, declare I like it better than I did the first one, give it four stars, and yet still have a lot of similar complaints regarding the pacing. Chima did better with the pacing in this than she did in The Warrior Heir, and yet there were still so many times where it felt like she didn't really take the time to flesh out scenes or explain just a little bit more about why they were so significant to begin with that they would be worth
