I was very excited to see one of my favourite series had a new title! "Halt's Peril" by John Flanagan is #9 of the Ranger's Apprentice series and I devoured it in a day.
This is a continuation of "The Kings of Clonmel" where we have discovered that Halt is... well you have to read to find out just what, but in this adventure Will, Halt and Horace are still on the trail of the Outsiders, religious fakes who con villagers out of any gold they might have by offering protection. They have crossed the sea to Picta and head to Araluen to stop them. Will, Halt and Horace have just about caught up when the expected happens. Yes, the expected. They know the Genovesan assassins will attempt an ambush and even though they were prepared you cannot prepare for everything. One of our trio is seriously hurt with a poisoned arrow. Can he be saved?
The pace of this book is a little slower. But because of an impending death it is the relationships between the three that are intense and gripping.
What are you reading today?
