I'm dying to read the next one ASAP! Highly recommend the whole series to everyone and I haven't even read all of them yet. The ending I knew was coming because of the title of the next one in the series but I refused to believe it until I was on page 262 even then staring dumb-fonded as I refused to believe it could end like that. I was actually really scared for them when they were left alone (won't tell you who but the point is I felt emotion and general attachment to the characters) The characters were all extremely likable except for the bad guys of course. The writing was very good, detailed but not repetitive. I can't really explain the plot without giving several things away so I'll just say that the Kingdom is preparing for a vicious war against Morgarath (Evil bad guy) and Will, Horace, and Gilan must stop his treacherous plans.Īlong the way they encounter everything from Wargals (creatures that work for Morgarath) Skandians(actually pretty chill group of men but also working for Morgarath) and a girl who goes by the name Evanlyn. But there's a lot more action in this one and Gilan got a bigger role in it. Don't get me wrong though, the 1st is incredible as well. I have to say I like this sequel better than the 1st.

So this is the 2nd(epic) installment in the Ranger's Apprentice series by Mr Flanagan. Okay I have returned more emotionally stable. I will go get a snack and do a proper review after I gather my thoughts and mop up the sea of tears that have splattered my floor. Me immediately after reading The Burning Bridge: OH MY FUDGE GOSH WHAT? NO WTH THERE HAS TO BE MORE THERE HAS TO BE MORE AHHHHHHHHHHHH *scream that lasts for 10 minutes then slowly transfers into sobs* NO NO NO NO I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THIS IS THE END AHHHHHHHHHHHH IT CAN'T END LIKE THIS MACARONI NOT FAIR NOT FAIR!!!!! I am honestly at a loss for words except for WHAT THE IN THE NAME OF KING DUNCAN JUST HAPPENED? Honestly THEE most torturing CLIFFIE in history of books. Me before reading The Burning Bridge: Oh my gosh I'm so excited to read this, ugh but I have other books to read but Im going to abandon those for this one because I miss Will's adventures.
