The 12th book of the Ranger's Apprentice series has been out for multiple months now, and I just now finally got around to reading. Now this book, it took me over for the three days that I spent reading it. Now for those of you who read every book you start within one or two days, I'm not like that. I normally take a few weeks to read a good book. I'm not really the reading type. I'd rather be watching TV or be out playing sports than read many books. The difference between this book and most others, even in the same series, is that there is so much that is unexpected, and it differentiates this book from others in its series. It just makes you want to keep reading all the time.
The author does such a great job including suspense, imagery, and sheer awesomeness in every part of the book, I feel like I am actually witnessing the events in the book in first person (not that I'd really actually like that. I'd probably be dead by now, but, you know...). The characters are so well defined and developed, and the plot is great. So, here's a little background. Will, the main character for the last 11 books, has a tragedy in his life. He gets upset, and his career as a Ranger gets put at stake. Gillan and Halt decide he needs an apprentice to cheer him up and give him a little responsibility to take his mind off of things. This book is about Will with his new apprentice. Now I'm not saying that this is absolutely the best book in the world. I'm not saying that this kind of book would be absolutely amazing for everybody. And I'm definitely not saying that you should read all 11 books before this just so you can too witness the pure euphoria that this book puts you in... Haha! Who am I kidding. Yes I am.
