Here is another book I've avoided reading for a while. I don't really regret not reading it, but I'm glad I did read this book. Seph, the main character I found really annoying at times and at times the story did get a bit dull, but all in all it was a pretty good book. Not one that I'll be rereading anytime soon, though. Also, I will make no promises on when I'll read the Dragon Heir. I have it in my possession but feel no strong need or want to read it. Seph and a girl build up a relationship in this book. I personally thought that the relationship was very rushed and the girl, too was annoying. I guess her and Seph were meant for each other. Ha. It also felt like their relationship was rather random. Like halfway through the book the author was just like oh no! I forgot a romance, let's make a random girl up who'll fit well with Seph. I totally forgot the names from people in the Warrior Heir. Never the less, I got really excited when they were mentioned and even more excited when they came into the story. Though, I was disappointed in Seph because of the way he treated the Warrior Heir people. For those of you who've read this book, you'll understand this. There's this one thing that Seph knows he's been lied to about and really wants to know what it actually is. Seph is a clueless dumb butt because it was obvious to anyone with one eye what the answer to his question is. In fact, there wasn't much in this book that surprised me. All the things that seemed like they were supposed to be shocking plot twists I already saw coming miles away. That was a bit annoying but at the same time satisfying. It's good to know I haven't gotten rusty at reading into foreshadowing and hints the authors leave.
I'm giving The Wizard Heir 6.5/10 stars. It didn't quite reach the 7 star point, but towards the end it got a little more interesting. A little. If you found the Warrior Heir mildly interesting I'd recommend this story. It gets interesting enough towards the end.
Synopsis:
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. But Seph's enthusiasm dampens when he learns that training comes at a steep cost, and that Leicester plans to use his students' powers to serve his own mysterious agenda.
