The Battle for Skandia by John Flanagan
The Battle for Skandia, Book Four in the Ranger's Apprentice series by John Flanagan, was an amazing new addition to the series.
The last thing you want to call Will and Evanlyn's predicament is an adventure, but how else would you describe it? When Evanlyn disappears, Will realizes something is amiss and looks for her. After following her capturers' trail, he arrives at their campsite in a very weakened state. Though Will's courage and bravery are strong, he knows that he by himself could never rescue her. But it turns out he isn't alone. In the nick of time Halt and Horace also reach the campsite following the same trail as Will did. After the initial joy of being together again, matters at hand trouble them. Why are the Temujai here? What is their purpose for coming this far north?
The easy to read and smooth, flowing style of author John Flanagan clearly shine in this book, and the whole Ranger's Apprentice series.
The authors uncanny ability to judge which scenes should be included and explored in detail is totally stunning. His knowledgeable decisions do nothing but the utmost good for the book.
I would recommend this book to everyone of all ages, especially to Robin Hood and Stephen R. Lawhead fans. 5 out of 5 stars
