Criticism

"Unfortunately, the author succeeds quite some time not to build up the tension again, so that the story in the middle of the book pulls something. Cute successor of " Magyk ", but unfortunately the voltage gets a raw deal. "

" For fantasy fans - regardless of age - a real must! "

"To find fault is also the " superhero "character of the good. You will find everything always have something suitable, know a good shortcut, hit an ally. In particular, Septimus comes into possession of magic ever stronger and helpers so that he has actually nothing could be dangerous with a little practice. Although he usually can not win magic duels, this is unconvincing, given all the things he possesses in unusual artifacts. Criticism as the first part, there are also on the translation: " Charms " for loaded objects with spells is simple English, not German, and unnecessary - on the other hand, the retention is at least consistent (but why not just "Talisman "? ) ".

" Angie Sage has managed to create it again a perfect blend of adventure, magic and humor. "

Jenna finds down at the dragon boat a green stone she gives Septimus who wears it as a lucky charm in his pocket. This stone is in reality what nobody knows, a rare dragon egg. Now, six conditions must occur in order for the dragon hatches, which are normally carried out by the mother dragon.

• Permanent heat: Septimus wears the stone always in his pocket
• Permanent movement: Septimus is young and moves much
• A fierce bite into the egg (usually the bite of the dragon mother ) is carried out in the forest of Wolverinen, invaded the Septimus and try his backpack and its contents to eat. The "stone" is but too hard even for them.
• Dark Magic: comes in a fight with Simon to the attacks him with a black magic snake.

So Septimus brought the dragon accidentally hatch. As a newly born dragon always bites his mother, he does so beiSeptimus this time. Way, he developed and Septimus becomes his personal dragons.
