Rangers Apprentice 9

Rangers Apprentice 9

By John Flanagan                                                                   

This book is a close follow on from book 8 like The Siege of Macindaw and The Sorcerer in the North.

Anyway Will, Halt and Horace are in pursuit of Tennyson and his gang of outlaws, especially the two remaining Genovesan assassins. When they finally encounter the Genovesan assassins one of the assassins is shot, but Halt also is shot by their deadly crossbows and little do they know there’s poison on the bolt.

Later when it looks like Halt is ok (or is he?) he suddenly falls to the ground. Finally Will and Horace make the decision for Will to go get Malcolm the healer (remember him?). When Malcolm reveals that there is a highly deadly poison in Halt’s system they all don’t know what to do. Malcolm tells them that they have to make a decision, blue cure or white cure; if Will chooses white and Halt was infected with blue it’s all over and vice versa. But Will chooses to capture the Genovesan to find out what poison was used. Will the Genovesan tell Will or won’t he? Is the legendary Halt unstoppable? Will luck come around? Read to find out!

Well, that’s exciting or worrying? Anyway, ANOTHER John Flanagan book added to the shelf, well, they’re all good books. No comments.

I normally read the book that comes after the book I’m reviewing before I do a book review so not all the details will be correct - so don’t get angry. I have heard, and am assured by the Rangers Apprentice wiki that there IS a 12^th book coming out!!!! Really, wow, the title gives it all away, The Royal Ranger!!!

Who does Evanlyn marry? I know, you don’t! <<<SPOILER ALERT>>> this is the first girl ranger, I want to see how Evanlyn and her husband like this, I wonder if they know or not. The book is coming out in 2013 October, sorry don’t have the day but it is exciting as hell!!!!! Sadly it’s the last book in the series. It’s all so sad I wanted to be able to see more of the “The Royal Ranger” but the other series ‘Brother Band’ will continue - luckily. My rating for Rangers Apprentice 9  is 3 and a half. Because it could have been more exciting, although it was a heart-in-mouth time for me when Halt was shot.

The rate tec out.
