I liked Tod and the Pathfinders, but this book wasn't the thrill that I was hoping for. It didn't have the humor that I've come to expect from Sage, the little plays on words or funny insights into the characters that always made me chuckle aloud as I was listening to the books in the Septimus Heap series. The narrator, Nicola Barber, was very good though, and she had big shoes to fill with the men who read Septimus Heap. Allan Corduner, who read book one, is tied with Jim Dale as far as I'm con...

This new book from Angie Sage is set in the world of Septimus Heap with new characters. Seven years after the end of Fyre, we meet Alice TodHunter Moon (Tod), learning about her heritage as a Pathfinder. Soon we are pulled into a world of adventure as the evil Garmin take away her friends and then come for her. Many of our old friends from the Septimus Heap books join us for the ride.The book starts quite slowly and has the feel of a middle-grade read. As the adventure with Tod progresses, it fe...

So excited about this spin off series to Septimus Heap! The series starts off great, with all of the great adventure and fun I've come to expect from Angie Sage's books. We also get a reappearance of some of our favorite characters from Septimus Heap, and a whole new group of people called Pathfinders. I loved this element to the story! This was such a fun read, can't wait to read the next one!

WHY DID I NOT KNOW THAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE A THING? IT'S GOING TO BE A THING. OH MY GOD. I NEED IT. I NEED IT LIKE I NEED AIR.

This is going to be SO awesome. Fyre left me pining for more, and while it's not exactly Septimus Heap, at least I still have something to look forward to in the Septimus department! I absolutely, positively, cannot wait. But somehow I have to.

I really love Angie Sage's novels! The only sad thing is that I listened to the audiobook (which was good), but it didn't have the whimsical pictures that the actual book would have. So I might look though the actual book next time I'm in the bookstore. It was so heartwarming revisiting old characters from the Septimus Heaps books. I love that series, and now I want to reread it!

Not bad, but too teen-oriented for my tastes.

I read the Septimus Heap Series quite a while ago but realized that I have never read the last one. What I really like about Sages books are the worlds that she creates. In Septimus it was very whimsical and fairy tale like, the perfect series to read to kids as good night stories. The Pathfinder is a little bit darker compare to the Septimus Heap books but again lots of great ideas and imaginations. It is set in the same world and starts when all the characters are adults. I would highly recomm...

I'm a huge fan of the Septimus Heap series, especially on aduio. When I discovered another series, I immediately decided to listen to it. There is a new narrator, which makes sense since the primary character is a girl (Alice TodHunter Moon) instead of a boy (Septimus Heap), but was also disappointing because pronunciations changed. For example, Marcia's title was always read as "Extra Ordinary Wizard" - but now it's "Extraordinary Wizard." At least she kept "Mar-see-uh" instead of "Marsh-uh" fo...

I thought this was a new series but it is a mixture of the Septimus Heap characters with newcomers, Alice TodHunter Moon, nicknamed Tod, and siblings, Oskar and Fergie. Tod is at an initiation of PathFinders, a group of children that have the unique powers of being able to breathe underwater. Not everyone has this ability and the only way to find out is to risk drowning. When Tod observes her aunt eavesdropping on the secret meeting, she talks to her dad about it. He says he'll ask the aunt to l...

I was unimpressed by the writing style and felt their was an over abundance of characters as many from the Septimus Heap series made appearances. Overall, unsatisfactory. Might be enjoyed by a younger reader, but I found the "she was this" and "he was that" writing style combined with the point-of-view jumping to make for unlively reading.

It's been too long since I've read a juvenile fantasy, but what a great book to re-enter the realm. Angie Sage continues the Magykal series with a new heroine, Alice Todhunter Moon (Tod) a young Pathfinder. Tod's mother died before Tod learned all about the land from which she came and her father just passed on the secrets of the Pathfinder when she turned twelve. But now, he is gone, too, never returning from a fishing trip. And she is left with an aunt she both fears and detests when monsters

2016:Well, finally did it. It's been 2 years since its actual publication but I finally went ahead and bought the book (after having to accept that no edition without those really annoying unevenly shredded page edges was going to come out and no way was I passing up this gorgeous cover) and finally read it. I told myself I'd refresh my memory and reread Fyre before starting on Sage's new sequel trilogy to one of my favorite series, but I'm in such desperate need for new books to read every year...

When I discovered that Angie Sage was writing a second series based in the Septimus Heap world, I was pleased. When I realised that this book was basically a sequel to the entire series, and would feature almost everyone we've come to know and love after the past 7 books, I was even more pleased! This book is a great start to a new series, introducing a new tribe of characters and opening up the world beyond the Castle with promises of even more to come. The story takes a little while to get goi...

It was more than I hoped it would be. I'll write more once I've sorted out my feelings...!!!

I loved Septimus serie, but I guess I've outgrown this one. I read it super fast and everyting was kinda ok, but I know that if I have had another possibility, I would have chosen another book.Anyway, had only this one at the beach and I am happy I read it. Tod is sweet and it was fun to read about Septimus again, but even he felt... somewhat different ://

"You choose between two courses. And that is the trouble with choosing-there is always the one you didn't take. It may have been better, it may have been worse, but that's not the point. You could not choose both. And sometimes, when the tide is running fast, you have only one chance to decide. You do your best at the time, with what you know then. It's tough, but that's how it goes." It's Septimus Heap, what did you expect?Twice I was hit with vicious pangs of feels while I was reading Path

This book has been poorly marketed -- it is a sequel to the excellent Septimus Heap series. However, the protagonist is a young girl named Alice TodHunter Moon, who prefers to be called Tod. After her father goes missing, and her village is burned, she goes off to the Castle following the wishes of her long deceased mother (poorly explained.) Meanwhile, Tod's friends and William Heap are kidnapped by the evil Garmin. Much of the Heap family are involved and together they go on a journey to liber...

TodHunter Moon, Book One: PathFinder (World of Septimus Heap)ByAngie Sage, Mark ZugWhat it's all about...I must say that it took me awhile to figure this book out. I think I should have read the series before this one...you don't really need to but I think it might have made the characters and their magical actions more clear to me. The book summary says the events of this book take place seven years after the original Septimus Heap series...but I never read those books. But then again...maybe I...

That was fun. It was so refreshing to see all my favorite characters again. After reading a bunch steamy YA books, it was kind of nice to read a really fun middle grade book. Firstly we saw Septimus Heap, who is supposedly very handsome and a total flirt ( according to Jenna). I think we met all of the Heap brothers, but I can't be sure, I lost count... Also Marcia was there and she was just as kickass as always. However the new main character Todhunter Moon is also pretty amazing. She actually
