Brilliant!!! well worth the wait! - By: Izzykins, 22 Jun 2006 
i was waiting for this book with high hopes as i hoped it would be as good as the first one, i was not disappointed i could even say it was better thatn the first.
We meet the characters againin the prologue,they have a fight with the wargals they were tracking & will misses his target twice as he panics after the fight he believes he can't be a ranger anymore because he thinks he isn't good enough Halt quickly reassures him. But, will is still ashamed.
Throughout the book you see will become more confident not to let Halt down again. Will then goes on a mission with Horrace & Gilan to the celts to discover them gone. Gilan leaves them to tell king Duncan leaving the apprentices alone to follow later. As events unravel things become more exciting & the book is full of suspense. In the end Will makes the ultimate sacifice to give Horrace time to flea to the king.
In this sequel you see more of the ranger's loverable side & you & the character release he loves his apprentice more than he relises.
This sequel is one of teh best sequels i have ever read & the ending is particulary annoying as he leaves it on an exciting cliffhanger!!
i recommend this book to those who love action, wit & suspense.John Flanagan has made a successful series & i can't wait until the next one!
As great as book 1 - By: Dean C. Ingham, 17 Apr 2006 We loved it as much as book one (Australian edition published earlier). This is a great series, loved by mother as much as by son. Fast moving, full of suspense & adventure, trials & triumphs, makes you wish you could really be a part of it.
