My Rating: 5/10Goodreads: 4.41
I was surprised to hear about this one as I thought the series was over. It is an interesting addition to the series however, since Will finally gets his own apprentice and you get to see him put in Halt's position. It bothered me, though, that throughout the book Will seems to go back and forth between acting like a copy of Halt and acting like his younger self. I would have preferred to see him acting just like an older version of his younger self. I suppose it does make sense that he would act like Halt with his apprentice since that's how he was trained, but you'd think in the thirty-or-so years in between this book and the first one he would have become a little more original. On the plus side, I did enjoy the addition of Maddie. She did help the book seem like more than just a rerun of the first book by having her own distinct personality and challenges. Other than that, the book was fairly standard for a Ranger's Apprentice book with lots of action and a decent amount of drama. It wasn't exceptional, but I'd say it's worth reading for fans of the series.
