It has been a hectic three weeks but I managed to read two new books in one of my favourite series "The Ranger's Apprentice". I borrowed them from VPL as they purchase them direct from Australia where author John Flanagan resides. Needless to say I loved them and am anxiously awaiting the next and the next and the ......Book 7 "Erak's Ransom" takes Will, Halt, Horace, Gilan and Princess Cassandra to the desert lands south of the Constant Sea to rescue their Skandian friend Erak. Treachery, fierce nomadic tribes and the harsh desert elements combine to make this an exciting adventure. Will loses Tug in a sand storm and goes after him only to find himself on the brink of death when he makes a wrong turn. The others go after Erak only to find themselves at the mercy of unforgiving enemies.
I turned immediately to "The Kings of Clonmel" Book 8 for a whole new adventure where Will, Halt and Horace travel west to Hibernia to try to oust the religious Outsiders from taking over the last of the country's kingdoms. Halt has a very personal connection - not only to the kingdom but to its king as well. But it is Horace who steps up to risk his life for his friends and this kingdom. This story is to be continued in Book 9.What are you reading today?
