by John Flanagan
A fun story with annoying writing...It's a good thing I'm a sucker for a fun story, because this would be a very unhappy review if the story were as juvenile as the writing in this book. A lot of people love these books, so maybe my standards are too high. And I get that it's written for 10-year-old...
This is the second book in the Ranger's Apprentice series by John Flanagan, and takes place some months after The Ruins of Gorlan. I enjoyed this book, the start is a bit slower than in the first book, but after they meet Evanlyn, the story really starts. Again there's a fight against big bad evil...
I really enjoyed reading this book and I have to say that I am officially a fan of the series.The ending really surprised me and I can't wait to read more.
This sequel to The Ruins of Gorlan continues the adventures of Will and his friends and what happens when they go on a mission to talk to a neighbouring country and find instead an army intent on invasion. It's pretty predictable but fun.

5/5 for the last 100 pages; I would give the first 155 pages 1/5. I'm really glad I didn't give up on this book like I so desperately wanted to--it came through in the end.
John Flanagan really comes into his own with this second book. The story is more involved, the characters more complex, the storytelling even richer than the first book. When I finished this book, I could see that this series was just going to get better and better.
Much better than the first, it actually has a girl in it! Still disappointed that all the perspectives are male, however.
Will really grows and we see part of what Halt has drilled into his mind put into action. We also see how Halt and Will have grown closer. And we also learn more about Gilan, Halt's former apprentice. The king, Duncan, his finally introduced along with his daughter. Although, we don't know that we'v...
