This book is good, it just isn't that great & all the others are, so it pales a bit in comparison to them.

I honestly cannot fathom why I thought this book was boring when I first attempted to read it when it first came out. Maybe it was because I wasn't in the mood to read it. Maybe it was because I hadn't read a "Ranger's Apprentice" book in a while. All I know for sure is that aside from the first two novels, this is one of the best in the series. Filled with amazing description, culture, character and world development and so so much more, it's near perfection. Another thing I found amazing is that John had eased up on his over use of describing the Rangers' and Horace's skill - avoiding phrases he's used PLENTY of times in the past books (it was beginning to get annoying). Overall, I couldn't have loved this book anymore than after reading the last chapter and the epilogue. Yay!
Fabulous story of Rangers Apprentice. Love the growth in the characters of Alys, Evelyn, Halt, Horace, and Will. The best is the way Alys and Evelyn finally work together to help kill the monster. Great!

A fun book, but the "Araluens swoop in and solve another country's problems" story is getting a little stale. Also, Alyss's found less grudge against Evanlyn has lasted for years at this point and it's frustrating to see a supposedly intelligent character act so stupid.
