Publisher's summary

Acclaimed author of The Warrior Heir, Cinda Williams Chima delivers this riveting sequel - a VOYA Perfect 10 and a New York Public Library 2008 Book for the Teen Age.

Booted from one exclusive school to the next since his foster mom's death three years ago, 16-year-old Seph McCauley knows he's different. But he doesn't understand why he can summon menacing ravens, freeze summer ponds, and torch all he touches. And then Seph makes the mistake of trusting his new headmaster. If you like Harry Potter, you'll love Seph McCauley.

Critic reviews

"Chima uses her pen like a wand and crafts a wonderfully rich web of magic." ( VOYA)

throat noises in my earbuds

please stop with throat clicking and swallowing! review and edit your performance!!!! made me sick!

listen closely at 7:44:30 chapter 14

you can hear laughter in the background in chapter 14 lol guess the guys narration made them laugh as he did me.

Great book. Ok performance.

On this go around, the reader still has a tendency to swallow audibly and make other such distracting noises. Over all it was a great story.

great book good story

Love this book good author great characters with love, loss, and mystery. can wait for the next book.

Okay overall but

Like the last book, I can hear the narrator swallowing. Not as much as it could be heard in the first book but enough to draw my attention from the story.

Great Book

I love these books. The narrator was okay not the best. Had a lot of pauses but it is a great story.

Reader got in the way of a good story

I am not sure why the production team of this book did not edit out each time the reader swallowed, or took a deep breath.
It was distracting and took away from an otherwise decent story. I will be reading the next books in the series.

Intro teenage wizardry....

Decent book for a teenager who wants to know the beginnings of wizardry. Behavior problems to self identity with discovery of family love. This book has it all.

great book but really don't like the narrator

If you could sum up Wizard Heir in three words, what would they be?

I love it!!!!!

What other book might you compare Wizard Heir to and why?

Warrior Heir. They both have the non-stop action that allows you to suspend reality and live in the world of characters.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narrator didn't switch characters. He used the same voice and cadence for each character and to make it worse when he aped the accent of the English schoolmaster it worse than the worst. He used extreme pauses where they just were unwarranted. He needs to listen to all four volumes of Eragon.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

This series should be picked up for a film. Its non-stop. Exciting and leaves a huge amount of room for diverse characters beyond the skinny blonde with boobs and Justin Beverfelt look alikes.

Any additional comments?

I love this series but please ditch this narrator, he ruins the story.

Great story. Lousy reader

I have enjoyed reading several of Chima's books. I am TERRIBLY disappointed by the audible version, however. The reading and the directing are AWFUL. The mouth noises the reader makes (smacking, gulping, etc) suggest an amateur reader and director. The noises are so bad that my son gags and cannot listen. And the heavy breathing into the microphone is terribly distracting. Listen to Hunger Games or Percy Jackson to hear a good reader! I hope future books from this author are NOT read by this reader.
