Ranger's Apprentice Series Review

READ THIS!!! This book is amazing for all fantasy lovers, full of medieval adventures. About a boy who becomes the apprentice of a ranger, this book is AWESOME. I would recommend it for anyone who likes adventure. Will, the main character, goes through many challenges, and I like this book because the way out of challenges isn't too easy. If you're not insanely stupid, read this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another great book

I thoroughly enjoyed this book as I did the first 2. I felt it was very fast paced. Halt's humor was a very nice change. Kind of feels like the reader gets to know him a bit more. I too had a feeling of dread for Will due to his drug addiction. However, I did feel like the ending was a bit too quick. But as with the other 2 books, it leaves you wanting more. This is defiantly a winning series.

An awkward speed hump...

I love the Ranger's Apprentice series. It stands right up there with other fantastic fantasy favorites like The Symphony of Ages and The Lost Journals of Ven Polypheme by Elizabeth Haydon, The Icewind Dale by R.A.Salvator, The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R.Tolkien and Dragonlance: Chronicles by Weis and Hickman. But with John Flanaghan's newiest installment in the Ranger's Apprentice series, The Icebound Land falls short of what we were expecting. Sure, this book does nicely as a sequel, but I felt Flanagan could had done a tad-bit more, such as Will being a drugged-slave. But overall, this book was a great read!
We have Halt and Horace traveling into the country-side, right into danger. Stupid men who claim themselves as gallant knights by beating up helpless travelers with mest-up amour and poor weapons to earn a living challenge the two left-and-right, holding up there search again and again for the lost ranger, Will. All the while Will and Evalyn are fighting to stay alive against the Skandians and the cold of winter.
I truly enjoyed this book. Halt's raw humor and Horace's jokes kept me laughing, while Will being drugged by Warm-Weed kept me feeling dread for the beloved character. If you enjoyed the first two books of John Flanagan's Ranger's Apprentice series, The Ruins of Gorland and The Burning Bridge, your guaranteed to like reading The Icebound Land. I'm already looking forward to reading The Battle for Skandia. Can't wait! Keep sending these Australian Treasures over John!

Where's the action?

I thoroughly enjoyed the first two books in this series because of the wonderful mix of character development, action, and storyline. This edition continues to expand on our connection with/understanding of the characters while further exploring their adventures but falls short in its action sequences. I still look forward to reading book four and hope for a return of great action!
