#not to mention Angie Sage is a MASTER of comedy

[starryarchitect]

Septimus Heap has the ultimate found family. You start with the core seven-son family, which is already guaranteed to have at least nine members. Not to mention they have a crazy aunt and at least six uncles, as well as a tree or two.

Throw in an adopted daughter, 1.5 ducks and 0.5 of a cat, the youngest son's adoptive mother/mentor/BFF and semi-adoptive father/kidnapper, the adopted daughter's biological dad, the youngest son's best friend who will someday be the adopted daughter's boyfriend, a ghost uncle, the youngest son's first best friend/adoptive brother from his childhood in the army who is probably also the second oldest son's boyfriend, the youngest son's dragon, and the oldest son's wife.

Oh, and don't forget the ghost uncle's ghost girlfriend, the mother, father, and brother of the oldest son's wife, the second youngest son's girlfriend and her transforming panther, maybe a couple witches (or maybe not), the adopted daughter's ghost mom and ghost grandmother, the oldest son's pet tennis ball, the adopted daughter's pet rock(s), and a centuries-old magical grandpa who you can only see by exiting time.

And we haven't even gotten to the sequel series yet!

#and yes I would count these all as part of the Heap family #which is funny considering at least three of them have said on multiple occasions that they dislike Heaps #tell me that doesn't make you want to read the series at least a little bit #it's got the most chaotic yet loving energy of any media I've ever consumed #not to mention Angie Sage is a MASTER of comedy #it's a talent she doesn't hesitate to use to make every element of the book better #cannot recommend this series enough #septimus heap #the heaps #heaps found family #found family #alright I'm done talking about septimus heap now #my rambles
