A review by fullybookedpenguin
The Ruins of Gorlan by John Flanagan

adventurous emotional funny fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? N/A
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

The characters, the plot, the pacing, I loved it all. Will is a likeable character, Halt is a perfect mentor, and all the other characters have soul of their own. I personally loved Baron Aralds jokes and humour as well, dunno why his audience is so unreceptive!
5 Star, an excellent beginning to the series.
