 Cant wait for the next book. Mar 19, 2010
All I can say is that Will has matured to be a great Ranger in this book. It is an awesome story line and very hard to put down.
great addition to the series, but read book 7 before books 5 & 6 Mar 15, 2010
Love the entire series so far!!
Book 5 actually takes place after book 7, so if you just read Book 4 (Skandia), I recommend reading Book 7 (Erak's Ransom) next. Then read books 5 and 6!
You won't be disappointed in this series!! I'm a 27 year old married mother and recommend them to everyone!!!!! As I've said in my original review for the series (books 1-3 review), I would raise the recommended age to about 12 years old due to some gory war descriptions and monster like descriptions.
 Little action + incomplete story = a HUGE letdown Feb 25, 2010
My son and I have been huge fans of this series, but I had to downgrade this entry on general principles: There is almost no action, and the story does not even conclude at the book's end. In fact, this entire book merely sets the stage for the next book. Flanagan obviously started out with enough story for one book, then decided to pad it out into two books.
Which is dirty pool as far as I am concerned. It would be like ending the very first "Star Wars" movie right after the scene where the heroes come across the astro-rubble of Alderan and, oh no, what are we going to do now?
So, I recommend you read a synopsis of this book and skip ahead to Book 6. You won't be missing much.
OK, that's where my "Star Wars" analogy falls apart because there was a LOT more action in the 1st half of "Star Wars" than in this book, in which, let's see, a guy holding a spear gets disarmed, and later the same guy gets hit in the leg with an arrow. The rest is all dialog and wandering around. Even the scenes with the good ol' fun-loving Skandians are boring.
review Feb 25, 2010
I found the 5th book to be very good. John Flanagan does an excellent job at pulling most of the loose ends together and yet still leave a good cliff-hanger at the end, making the reader yearn for the next book. I did like the rather large cliff-hanger at the end, and I love how Flanagan always has his next book nearly finished by the time the reader finishs readign.
hmmmm ok............ Feb 18, 2010

*SPOILER* kinda
i hate the keren guy for messing with alysse. it ticks me off XP but it was pretty good anyways
