thought_the_sailor 's review for:

The Ruins of Gorlan by John Flanagan
2.75
adventurous lighthearted mysterious relaxing tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Definitely worse than I remember it being as a child. The characters are kind of flat, the headhopping is bad and the prose is a bit boring. The story, however, did live up to my memories.
If you did not like this book please do give the second one a chance. As of writing this review I am about a third of the way through The Burning Bridge and the prose and storytelling have improved significantly.
