Description As Books The Wizard Heir (The Heir Chronicles #2)
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.

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 theAwesome... so awesome!I still can't believe this simple, brilliant series.A friend sent me my own personal copy of this book. I retrieved it from the mail on Monday.I finished it last night.Those 24 hours are a blur.I cried in relief when, halfway through the book, Linda Downey announced her arrival. I had been waiting to see who it was from the first volume that Seph would come into contact with. I had absolutely no reason whatsoever to expect it would be her. I figured he'd escape the Havens,
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 companion
This sequel to The Warrior Heir was a decent, if somewhat predictable follow up. At the end of the first book, I had wondered whether Chima would use the same characters in subsequent books. The Warrior Heir didn't end on a cliffhanger, so I thought she might start up with an entirely new cast of characters. I was pleased to find The Wizard Heir did have many of the same characters, albeit with the focus on a new main character, Seph (short for Joseph).The Wizard Heir was, in certain sections, a
This was so amazing!I mean, The Warrior Heir was pretty good but this just kicked it up a notch.I literally didn't want to put it down on a night.The perfect way to finish off April!
I definitely enjoyed this more than the The Warrior Heir! I think I'd been so focused on the fact that this series is more urban fantasy that I didn't take the time to appreciate the story for it's worth. The Wizard Heir feels distinctly more fantasy since a majority of this takes place in a secluded boarding school. Seph McCauley is sent to Hayden's after he causing a devastating accident; however, things are not all they seem at Hayden's. Seph is desperate for a magical teacher and a way to
