Fantasy {Eighth of 12 in [[[Ranger's Apprentice]]] series; fantasy, children's, young adult, adventure} Continuing on with this series; Will is a seasoned full-fledged Ranger with his own, if sleepy, fief to look after. The first few chapters contrast the enjoyment of his attending the annual Ranger gathering (where he doesn't realise that he is a legend to the upcoming Ranger apprentices due to his exploits) with the tension of Halt (who is missing the Gathering for the first time) reconnoitring a coastal village which has been targeted by a cult. When the cult leader seems to recognise him, Halt realises that there is a link to his past which needs further investigation which results in Halt, Will and their erstwhile companion Horace traveling to Clonmel in Hibernia to confront the cult, called the Outsiders. As much fun as the previous books. It could be read as a stand-alone although it refers to the previous adventure ([The Siege of Macindaw]) and, of course, continues the stories of the characters. We do get to see Jenny (from the first book of the series) in her element and though this adventure is completed by the end of the book, there are a couple of loose ends that hint at the next adventure. And the banter, as always, is fun (and similar to that in [[[The Belgariad]]] series which I just finished reading). Will and Horace, having served their apprenticeships, now dare to tease Halt, who has always been a figure of authority in these books. 'No, no, not at all,' Horace said, realising that he'd annoyed the Ranger but not sure how it had happened,I noticed that Halt became 'Michael' on occasions when he needed to conceal his name; the same name as Flanagan's son, whom he started writing this series for to show him that you don't need to be big and strong to be a hero. (February 2023) 4.5 stars This was a great tale to get to know more of Halt's history, and to see our boys working their best assets and ingenuity to overcome obstacles. The levels of story, wit, action, and character relationships were all spot-on. Flanagan combines these details flawlessly and creates such engaging stories! There was one part that was frustrating because the characters, with all their knowledge and training, would absolutely not have fallen prey to one certain deception. They handled most of the troubles brilliantly, though, and I all around loved this story. The book starts of very quickly, as my friend pointed out. She was caught off guard and she explained she needed a break and I can see why, but this book is fantastic! I absolutely love Halt coming back in this book and working alongside Horace and Will once more. This series is amazing and I am excited to continue it once more and begin the Brotherband Chronicles for the first time. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
