Time has passed since the apprentice and his master, Will and Halt, led the Araluens to victory against invaders, and Will is now a full-fledged Ranger with his own fief to look after. The fief seems sleepy— boring, even—until the king is poisoned. Joined by his friend Alyss, Will is thrown headfirst into an extraordinary adventure propelled by fears of sorcery, and must determine who is trustworthy to the king and who is trying to take his throne. Will and Alyss must battle growing hysteria, traitors, and most of all, time. The king is fading, but when Alyss is taken hostage, Will is forced to make a desperate choice between loyalty to his mission and loyalty to his friend. Adventure abounds in this absorbing installment of the New York Times bestselling series. |

 Written on November 7, 2008 Summary: Half a Book! I suggest others wait to buy the paperback,its cheaper. The story is great,that only half of it is there,stinks! Wait the six months,buy both books so you will get the whole story!  Written on November 6, 2008 Summary: An Excellent Read John Flanagan moves the Ranger's Apprentice series forward in flawless fashion. While our young hero, Will, is older now, Mr. Flanagan has aged him believably and Will continues to be a vibrant and rich character. Anyone that has read the previous books in the series knows Mr. Flanagan is a master at ending a book with an old style cliff hanger that is reminiscent of the nearly forgotten pulp stories of yesteryear. This book is no exception. The ending leaves you hanging and wanting more. For me, that's the sign of an excellent storyteller, and John Flanagan is one of the finest in this genre. A well imagined plot, believable characters, and witty humor rarely seen in today's storytelling are finely crafted within the pages of The Sorcerer of the North. I highly recommend this book as well as the entire Ranger's Apprentice series. Written on November 6, 2008 Summary: Not a complete book This is not a complete book. While I expect a cliff-hanger in a tv show I watch. I don't want it in a story I paid for. It is understandable to break a long story at points of resolution as in Harry Potter. I find it very irritating to have a book end in the middle of the action like this one did. Mind you I like the story but I don't like it being cut off in the middle. If the author wants more money they should just charge more for it and make the book longer, at least then the book will be complete! Written on November 5, 2008 Summary: 5th book in the Ranger's Apprentice series Will is now a full Ranger, with his own posting. But it isn't long before his friend Alyss arrives with a secret mission for him. It seems that a king of a critical fief has been poisoned. And the king's people believe a sorcerer is to blame. Will and Alyss must investigate the claims and discover who is really behind the king's illness. Things aren't what they seem. Set years after the last book in the series, Will has finally come to his own. But he still gets some help from his friends in this latest adventure. The mystery and suspense are heightened in this latest installment. With edge-of-your-seat excitement, this is the most thrilling story yet. Though also ends with a cliffhanger, which U.S. readers will have to wait a bit longer to read the conclusion of this particular adventure as it isn't scheduled to publish here until next spring. The author has just finished book 8, so we're a little behind. (According to [...]) |
