And thus the two-book adventure in wintry Norgate comes to a close. Fair winds to the Skandians, particularly Gundar Hardstriker.

Excellent narration by William Zappo, but next time, no musical intrusions after each chapter. Please.

I've found these books to be sort of, "uneven". I liked the early books, but the sequence concerning Will's captivity lost me some what as I found my interest waning. A lot of this will of course be somewhat personal and subjective and apply to me, some will I suppose find it to be true for them others less so. I found my interest in this YA series picking back up somewhat in the last couple of books (aside from my annoyance at the blatant cliffhanger with which the book before this ended).

I found my interest in this YA series picking back up somewhat in the last couple of books (aside from my annoyance at the blatant cliffhanger with which the book before this ended). Let my say something here, and please bear with me....in other words I'm not trying to sound in any way pompous. I had a couple of complaints with this book and at least one may be explained by the fact that I have read so many books. There were times when I was going "okay, we all know what's coming next...just get on with your cliche and move the story along!" But I'm not really sure that everyone thinks that...so whether the books plot and the story's situations are a bit (as I said) cliched, is something to decide for yourself. Often I saw plot devices I recognized going in and knew the next events almost as if I'd already read them. I think each reader may need to think about this individually...it's a YA book. The second problem I had? In at least 3 places I "felt" as if certain events and confrontations drug out far too long. It was as if the author had planned out something and wanted to use every bit of work and every idea he'd had about it. I was so ready at times for this confrontation or that combat to be over. at one point I intended to rate the book 3 stars, then 4 stars, then 3 stars again. I've settled on 4 stars as I find this, on the whole an enjoyable read and a well written book. I like it....over all.

John Flanagan, you have no right to do this to my heart!! There should have been an epilogue at least!! Why was there no epilogue?? *endless screaming* AND WHERE WAS HALT??!! So. Many. Panic. Attacks. Just. Let. Me. Breathe. 💔 This was probably one of the best scenes in the book!! (**SPOILER ALERT** For those who haven't read it yet, I wouldn't read any farther!) "Are you alright?" he said, taking his arm from Will's shoulders and turning him so he could see more clearly, looking for some sign of John Flanagan, you have no right to do this to my heart!!

"Are you alright?" he said, taking his arm from Will's shoulders and turning him so he could see more clearly, looking for some sign of a wound. Will coughed and retched in reaction to his close shave. He knew how near to dying he had been, and his legs were weak from the thought of it. "Will!" Horace said, concern making his voice harder. "Are you okay?" The young warrior was frantically running his hands over Will's chest and stomach, trying to see where he might be wounded. There was a lot of blood soaked into his jerkin front and it had to be coming from somewhere. Still in shock Will reacted angrily to the question. "Of course I'm not alright, you idiot!" he snapped. "He damn near killed me! Or didn't you notice?"

Also not my favorite of the series. Once again, Halt is only in it very briefly, and Tug is barely mentioned.

Ok so I gave this book one star because it was that bad. Really was it that bad? yes it was that bad and more. I was so disappointed in this sixth book of the Ranger's Apprentice series! The first four books where so great and this one fell utterly short. I HAD hoped after reading the last book and being bored out of my mind that this next one would pick up a little, boy did it not.

I HAD hoped after reading the last book and being bored out of my mind that this next one would pick up a little, boy did it not. Quiet frankly it got to be a chore reading it by the end of the book and I was jumping in my seat waiting to get done with it so I could wright a raving review. Ok so maybe not that bad but still, it was pretty darn bad. Some of the things I found wrong where it were that it kept repeating the same stuff, over and over and over and over and you get the point:) Like the information about how castle stairway's were built so that the person coming down had the advantage. That is great information and all but I really don't think we need to read it three times, I mean come on does the author think we're that dumb? Also the details on the fighting scenes were just, boring, and dumb and so trivial that I was rolling my eyes and skimming over lines. AND the 'quote' humorous moments in the book were all just stupid and dumb and boring and ahhhhhh they didn't need to be there. AND FUTHERMORE! In one part the 'sorcerer' aka healer in the forest who has been misunderstood all these years (How predictable is that?) tells Will that he needs fog to make his illusions in front of the castle they are sieging. And Will promptly replies "How will we do that when there is no fog around the castle?" and Mr. healer comes back with the brilliant reply "We will just use pipes and water and make fog!". Ok really? THAT IS SO DARN LAME!!!!!!!!!!!! First off how the heck can you make fog, second using pipes in a medieval setting which I doubt they would have had pipes in is so darn stupid and third, It's just stupid! Ok so those are just some of the major things I found lame and boring and stupid and so darn annoying with this book. I'm sure if I put my mind to it I could find several more but alas I don't have the time as I need to start a hopefully better book:)

This one, and Sorcerer in the North, are my two favorite books in the series. Content: Language--some taking God's name in vain, some dam*s and hel*s Sexy stuff/Romance--A few kisses. Keren wanted Alyss to marry him *ew* Violence--Well, there is the siege of Macindaw... Some fighting, blood, arrows being shot, wounds, blah blah.

This is the culmination of everything that was started in the last book. The character threats and plot lines are all wrapped up more or less nicely. Yay! No cliffhanger this time! Some random comments. Shadow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m an emotional mess and that was sad even if it was also really sweet. Did Horace just actually lie? Halt really must have rubbed off on him! Good for you! xD Oh … romance! In all fairness, that one … I didn’t really feel. I think the author is a lot better at writing humor and action than emotional development … but then again, I’m a woman and the MC is a man … maybe men just don’t think about love as much as women … what do I know? Anyway, this is still a quick and fun series and I have the next four books waiting for me at home (yay for libraries!)

I really loved this book! It's so cool to see Will on his own now, though I do miss Halt a lot :(. I kinda wish there had been more of him in the book, but I guess Will would never grow up then. *sigh* I really loved this book!

The story was very well built up and I loved how Will and Horace managed to get back the castle by keeping a cool head and a very creative strategy!

This story takes place mainly in Macindaw the castle and also Grimsdell wood where it is in the woods. So when we left of Will made a promise to Alyss that he would save her and get her back. Will in needing of an army and does which he finds the skandians and offers them gold and revenge for john buttle who killed skandians while escaping and with extra luck he finds Horace who is ready to fight. But things don't go so steadily there outnumbered and don't have the plan to over throw the castle while back in the castle alyss is there waiting for Will to message her but gets something better and gets a stone that makes her resist the blue stone that Keren the traitor and when keren makes her talk she resisted and hears something that a army is coming and tells Will by secret message and then Will and Horace make a plan to capture the leader to make him tell them answers and they barely do but get information but not enough. They plan now to attack the castle and succeed while attacking Will goes to save Alyss but while there keren already had her and puts her into a transfer and the stone is no use and gets controlled and keren says kill him. But Will says he loves her and somehow she gets back to normal with the power of love. While back in the battle field Trobar one of Malcolm's best servants sees John buttle who hurt one of Will's dogs shadow and gets revenge but fails but luckily Horace was there and stops John buttle and kills him. Alyss who gets back to normal throws Keren acid that Will gave her to escape and melts him and dies. Everything is back to normal and everyone gets back to what there doing but before leaving Will leaves his only dog to trobar who fell in love with the dog and trobar promised if she has puppy's he wants one and Will after saving Alyss returns home to his cabin and feels alone but hes not done yet and goes after Alyss again and feels happy. This story is a person vs person because keren holds alyss hostage and Will must get her back in his arms. i Was surprised when trobar wanted to challenge John buttle from what i can tell he's a stone hard killer and can kill anyone that is in front of him. I was moved when Will said" Alyss i love you" which to me was like really but still pretty cool that he confessed his feelings to her. I was angry when he left Will's dog shadow to trobar " ill leave her to you and take care of her but if she has any puppy"s can i have one" which it was OK when he said if she has dogs can i have one.I thought the ending og this book was amazing how he wanted to leave his post just to see alyss and how he felt happy for once in a long time. i give this book five out five because for once its makes me happy to read a book. If you love adventure and action you must and i mean you must read this book. There's more to this story and there's more to come.

The Siege of Macindaw was much better than The Sorcerer in the North. I was glad to have Horace back - his and Will's relationship (and banter!) is becoming one of my favourite part of the series. I liked seeing them work together without Halt or Crowley or any of the other mentors. And getting some Skandians back on the scene was fantastic. They always supply some comic relief and epic fight sequences. Overall, a great sequel. I look forward to getting some answers in Erak's Ransom.

I thought this book might end on a forlorn note, but it didn't. I felt a sense of satisfaction and happiness upon finishing the final page. I’m looking forward to the next one!

Another good, fast read. Some magic and wizardry in this one (or is it?).. in any case, more action and adventure, and a larger role by one of the "minor" characters found in the earlier books.

He even had me feeling sorry for Keren at one point! The book was probably on track for a 5-star rating, but then I reined it in because I felt like there were some major holes in the action. When Will and Horace are hiding for hours under the upside-down cart, it just made no sense to me that the castle defenders wouldn't just walk out and physically inspect the cart after it's abandoned. Why wouldn't Keren order some men to investigate the cart, to see if there might be any hint of what kind of siege they might be planning? And when he orders the cart burned, the flaming arrows fail, so they just give up!? How lazy can you be! Why not walk down to investigate why the cart isn't burning, and then break it apart for firewood or something!? Then there was the climactic scene when Alyss was on the verge of killing Will. Of course Will wouldn't harm Alyss, but surely Alyss isn't so skilled with a sword that Will wouldn't be able to evade or restrain Alyss, right? He's one of the best-trained Ranger's after all, and managed to avoid being killed by the Scotti general in hand-to-hand combat! I think the implication is that Keren could easily have picked up the sword and finished the job, or held Will down while Alyss struck the fatal blow. But in a book where nothing goes unsaid, and battle scenes are described in great detail, it seemed like the logistics of this scene could have been fleshed out some more. Anyway, I loved the ending, and left the book with lots of positive feelings. As usual, a few mild swears ("damn" and "hell") thrown around. My third-grader who is reading the series is always especially entertained when he comes across a swear word!

I will make this 'review' for this and the previous book, as they cannot be separated in any way. Story wise, ofcourse. Page wise, they obviously have been. There are a few major complaints I have about this 5 year time skip. I generally love time skips. It moves a story forward, characters can develop in more drastic ways, a lot of things can change, and the need to adapt to the new setting is generally very enjoyable. But, this one annoyed me. Will, as such, didn't change. One tiny bit. His skil I will make this 'review' for this and the previous book, as they cannot be separated in any way. Story wise, ofcourse.

Will, as such, didn't change. One tiny bit. His skills themselves, as far as we are introduced of and told about, are the same. Awesome, but.. 5 years should show more. At least in a book of fiction? haha.. Then, there are the few new elements to the story. What I find unacceptable with them, is the fact that they exist so very conveniently. Ofcourse, that is how stories are usually told, but what bugs me is that things have only been introduced in the beginning of this book, and then depended on in a few chapters. That is weak. I expect more ingenuity. Also, the general convenience of it all.. So single minded and simple, like there is no other possibility or way or option. It annoys me. Characters behave on a predetermined pattern. Not always,but often. It is annoying! That tower climb for instance. The reason for it was a gamble. All of it. So many undetermined factors for it to be necessary, but there is no doubt whatsoever in its process! DUDE! Weak! And I could give plenty more examples. I do hope John has learned from these two books and did better in the next, or I might rethink if I want to read more or not, although I find myself enjoying the read most of the time. But. Skandians still make me happy! Hooray for them!

This is probably my least favorite book in the Ranger's Apprentice series so far. Still, having several of the original characters together is nice to see. Will and Horace are fun together and I liked the further development of Will and Alice's relationship (FINALLY). However, it was kind of a dull read and the characters were less interesting in this installment than previous ones. This is probably my least favorite book in the Ranger's Apprentice series so far.

The Siege of Macindaw is the sixth instalment of the series and forms one story together with the fifth book. The main thing happening in this book is the actual siege. I was a little bit disappointed that it turned out to be almost solely about the siege. It's a 300-page read and it reads very fast, but focussing so much on this one event made it really feel like a middle book. In the end, not that much happens at all. Also I didn't remember just how much these books are focussed on younger readers. The hero's are all very heroic and they are sure very smart/strong/overall awesome. The main villain was mostly mean. I hope I'll like the next book in the series better.

I am slowing down with this series and toying with the idea of handing them all off to my niblings without finishing the rest. The middle school boys I taught this year were all over the books in this series, but while I love training-the-hero stories and especially fantasy without magic, I find myself wanting something a little more grown-up.

This was a really good book, and I enjoyed until the very last page. It was full of twists and turns, and surprises. It also had a lot of emotion which helped you connect with the main character. Also it had action pretty much throughout the book, and it doesn't get boring. I would recommend this series to anyone who liked the Harry Potter, and the Percy Jackson series.

(4.4) It's a slower book but the relationships between Will and Horace and Will and Alyss are the best parts of the book. Speaking of Alyss and Will, the romance is 100/10 and the cutest thing ever (view spoiler)[ which makes my heart hurt because I know about The Thing and ugggghhhh (hide spoiler)] . Recommended 13+ for violence, some language (less than 10 words), and clean romance.

This an excellent series. I love the characters, especially how they have both good and bad aspects. Flanagan was very clever in how he incorporated passages to remind me of what happened in the previous book without being overt or repetitious. Hypnotism doesn't happen the way it was described. But, since this is a different world, perhaps it does in that world. :D This an excellent series. I love the characters, especially how they have both good and bad aspects.
