Book 7 of the Ranger's Apprentice series actually goes back a little in time to before Will has completed his ranger studies. Readers are introduced to a new setting, Arridi. A desert country that poses new challenges for the rangers. Flanagan brings many familiar characters back to the story along with developing several new friends and foes. As with the earlier books in the series the pace of the story keeps readers engaged and his word choice allows for readers to develop a clear mental image of both characters and settings. I would have preferred to read this book prior to books 5-6 and would make that suggestion to others as it would help keep the suspense of the ending. Additional information about the series such as brief character descriptions and setting maps is available at the Ranger’s Apprentice Official Website.
5 of 5 stars. Highly Recommended.
