The Wizard Heir

My review the first time I read wasn't very revealing:
A great follow-up to The Warrior Heir! I love books that introduce new characters while still showcasing the original players. I can't wait to see what happens in the Dragon Heir.

Let's see if I can elaborate on that pitiful review....

The Wizard Heir takes place a some months after the events at Raven's Ghyll. Seph is a wizard without any sort of training. He knows what he is, but he's an orphan brought up by a sorcerer with a mistrust of wizards so his knowledge is very limited. He lands himself at Haven, a school for boys with issues. When he learns there's a wizard there who will train him he's thrilled, until he starts getting glimpses of something terribly wrong at Haven.

He meets Jason who wants nothing more than to escape Haven and find The Dragon, a mysterious rebel who is turning the Wizard Council against each other and strengthening the Anawizard weir.

Basically, we're introduced to Seph, Jason & Madison and eventually the major players from the first book come together. Cinda Williams Chima is awesome at creating characters like Dr. Gregory Leicester whom you just can't stand. The perfect villain to our stoic heroes! She did write an amazing follow-up and set us up quite well to be eager for The Dragon Heir. So I guess my review wasn't as bad as I thought!
