I LOVE ❤️ THIS BOOK! Of course, I didn't understand half of the battle tactics but it was still great!!! There is such a HUGE SURPRISE AT THE END I WAS SO HAPPY ABOUT IT! I love the story! There are such incredible characters and they were sooo deep. I am sad though because I am almost finished with the series!

I really wasn't into this one :/ such a bummer since I've really liked most of the books in this series.

Maybe I’m just biased because a love this serie but I really liked this book (even if it took me a long time to read it)!
I love the setting, it was so unique from the other books and we got to see many of the characters we know and love! The plot was interesting, I love the country, Nihon-ja, and all of the new characters from Nihon-ja.❤️
I just want to give a shout out to Alyss! I love her and she’s so underrated.

If I were to give 1 book of the Rangers apprentice series 5 stars, it’s this one. This is just simply a work of art, how Flanagan describes Will racing north to raise the army and defend the fort almost Troy-style. I found the girls going to the far north to recruit the soldiers a bit less interesting which makes it a 4.75 for me

While finishing this book late into the night, I could help but think how far these characters have come from the first book. Bullies turned into loyal heroes. Dreamers turned into doers. I believe the author did a fantastic job of making these characters so real to readers.

While this book isn't my favorite in the series, I really enjoyed it and If I remember right, there was NO language in this one! :) Even though this is my second time reading the books, I still got creeped out during Alyss and Evanlyn's hair raising adventure.
