I enjoyed this one. I’m not a massive fan of the 5 year time skip as I feel like there should’ve been another book of Will being an apprentice before becoming a fully-fledged Ranger. However, I did get used to it. The author does a good job of making a tonal distinction between young Will and adult Will while still feeling like the same character.

I love the inclusion of the dog. She is just so cute. Adding a dog makes every book better.

This book moved along at a brisk pace and kept my attention well. I like that we got to see some development of Alyss and Will’s relationship and I enjoyed her being in the story. I understand why Halt wasn’t including much in this book, but I missed him. However, a duel storyline probably would’ve taken away from the main storyline. 

This book feels like part 1 to the story and I am looking forward to part 2.

Althought a slightly predicatble plot, the story is a bunch of fun and always a good time.
