A renegade knight has captured Castle Macindaw, poisoning the royal family and conspiring to overthrow the Kingdom.

The fate of Araluen rests in the hands of two young adventurers: the Ranger Will and his warrior friend, Horace. Yet for Will, the stakes are even higher. For inside the castle, someone he loves is being held hostage. Now is the time to become the hero he was trained to be . . .

孩子看得废寝忘食的,一天一本的速度。

这款系列书,非常好看,值得购买。

The first 6 books of the series including this one are fun reads. They are perfectly good fantasy for a variety of readers. However they are written with younger readers age 10-17 in mind. That is the target audience. As such they are perfect books for the target audience 5 stars, but for older more experienced readers of fantasy the story will be extremely predictable, for this reason I took off 1 star. Which would means I liked it, but knowing what was going to happen and predicting every single attempt at plot twist made it a bit mundane.

Now while I personally would give this book 4 stars as an experienced reader, who reads 100+ books a year every year for the past 20 years, I had to take off 1 star for price. Some might think that is silly, but for those of us who buy a lot of books and read a lot of books price starts to factor in. Reading is far more expensive than cable, netflix, amazon prime, ext. When a series of 12+ books cost 8-12 dollars per book, and each book is short enough to finish in a single day, the price adds up really fast.

I have spent $58 on this series so far. Having read the first 6 books, and one prequel book. I read them in 7 days. If I always paid this much for books I couldn't afford to keep reading. Part of the problem is the Dollar value per word just isn't there. These like I said before are written for younger readers, and they are about a 1/2 shorter than 17+ oriented books. Even by book store prices, for physical additions these prices are high, let alone for digital versions with no real overhead.

In summary:
1 star off for being extremely predictable. That takes into account that it is for young readers, if it was meant for older readers I would have taken off 2 stars. Unless this is a beginning foray into the fantasy realm, even most younger readers will predict what will happen, as even the "plot twists" are really nothing more than is expected.

1 star off for price. Really these books are very short and there is no real discount for buying as a set. If you are like me and buy hundreds of books you know price has to matter, reading for fast and avid readers becomes a very expensive form of entertainment quickly if you over pay too often.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book but there are some things I would like the author to consider. First of all, your editor has an odd way of spacing his words in some places, leaving four or five spaces in between some words. Second, during moments f battle, I feel as though it is not absorbing enough and more as though it is a bedtime story being told by a narrator. Lastly, there is some repetitive parts in the story where you say a describing word too many times. Other than that it was a joy reading your book. Thank you.

John Flanagan mixes a exciting combination of comedy action and mystery in this book. The author creates a mysterious atmosphere that makes predicting events in the book so challenging. His surprising plot twist makes you want to read the entire book instead just skimming through it or giving up in the first couple of chapters. Although I would recommend reading the entire series, the author fill in background information that would be found in previous books. What is also interesting is the some what relatable characters that deal with problems that we may face in everyday life. What may make this book the most interesting is its humorous remarks , comments, comebacks, and events. I highly recommend this book and believe that you should read the entire series.

Our 12 year old son adores these books. It's challenging to find literature that's appropriate for young adults that's not filled with worldly garbage, but that holds the attention of reluctant readers, which my son was until we found these. After finishing the Eragon series on Audible, we wondered if we'd be able to find something that would keep him enthralled. We did. I love that there's so many in the series. It makes it simple to order him more. We buy in sets of 3 and he looks forward to each shipment! It's a great way to keep him motivated and engaged in reading. Children love getting mail. And we save a small amount of $ on each book!
