The second book in the series - Ranger's Apprentice - did not disappoint. I will admit, at first it was a bit slow going but to be fair...I think it was slow because I just stopped reading a different type of book that had a huge effect on me. Once I got into the reading, which happened rather quickly, The Burning Bridge moved along quickly.
First Sentence:
It was close to midnight when the single rider reined in his horse outside the small cottage set in the trees below Castle Redmont.
The Burning Bridge is full of action and adventure. However, the best thing about this book is the respect, obedience and discipline Will and Horace show towards their mentors. The mentors on their part show wisdom, courage, honor, strength and compassion. I really appreciate Halt and Gilan. They lead their lives in such a manner of respect that any boy who apprentice under them would be blessed. These two Rangers have a huge hand in Will's growth and maturing self. In this book, we meet another character-King Duncan. This character is in the story briefly but even in the brief time we read of him, we are shown he posses qualities of wisdom and compassion.

Well, this had all of the elements needed for a young adult novel - character from the previous book plus a few extra - fighting without too much violence - some characters felt forced into this book though setting up the next book, which the ending of this one most certainly sets up, and rather poorly I believe - I enjoyed the first book quite a lot, but this one felt lacking in completion and more like the set up to another book instead of a concise thought - I am not happy with this book, but it was not horrible, so it is a three star young adult novel

When I decided to reread this series i did not think that i would enjoy these books even more now. But that was certainly the case for this one. I absolutely adore this book! I’m so happy that I decided to reread this series

Enjoyed this very much. Will gets in over his head with Evanlyn and Horace while saving his world. Does a mild, children's version of the Lord of the Rings from a Ranger's perspective with a touch of a medieval James Bond.

Oh my god. I did not expect that ending at all, it killed me. I love the authors writing so much and there is so much plot to go along with it! It's the best and I need the third book now.
And so much character dev. Like Will and Horace have really grown. Not gonna lie, I'm still kinda iffy about Alyss, though she seems to have a good head on her shoulders.
