Review: The Wizard Heir

The Wizard Heir by Cinda Williams Chima
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

To be honest I haven't read many books and I don't know if it's normal or not, but I assumed that it would continue on with the main character in the first book...it does not. However I do like the main character in this one more and the characters from book one eventually do show up later on.

This book is about a 16 year old kid who knows he is a wizard but doesn't know anything actually about wizardry or his parents. Through this book he learns about both.

The best thing about this book is that it is very self contained. It's about Seph and it sticks with him throughout the whole thing. Even when it introduces other characters it does so in a way that benefits him.

The thing I don't like about this book is what a lot of stories do which is when characters, for literally no logical reason besides revealing it at the end, holds back crucial information that could benefit the main character.

Also Jack(main character in book one) in my opinion is very unlikeable in this one. He acts like a dick to the main character even though he LITERALLY gone through the exact same thing he did. Even his aunt is pretty much like "chill the F-out...you're being moody for no reason." I get people betrayed him in the first book(or at the very least weren't honest) but he's portrayed as a stereotypical dumb jock that is one dimensional in this one.
