Fantasy {Sixth published/ seventh chronologically of 11 (or 12); Ranger’s Apprentice series. Fantasy, children’s, YA} (2007) Group read. Will, having had to leave Alyss trapped in a tower inside Castle Macindaw, is now desperate to rescue her as well as foil the plans of the traitor holding the castle. Luckily he finds unexpected and somewhat unusual allies, although they are still all outnumbered, and they plan to take the castle back to prevent it falling into the hands of Scotti invaders coming over the border from Picta because otherwise it would leave the whole of Norgate Fief open to their raids and weaken the kingdom of Araluen. And Alyss, a trained diplomat and Royal Courier, is no damsel in distress but contributes too, getting vital information about the enemy out to them as she can. While most books in this series (so far) can be read as stand-alones - although they follow the overall story arc of Will’s apprenticeship as he grows up to become a Ranger - this book is the second part of the story that was begun in The Sorcerer in the North and should be read after it. Will is now a full fledged Ranger and is on his first solo mission, which was given to him in the previous book. The tone of the book is a bit more serious than previous instalments although Will and Horace still bicker away (while recognising that sometimes their friend is covering for nerves). The friends, Alyss, Horace and Will, are now all around sixteen years old. As Flanagan’s characters are getting older and, presumably, so is his target audience, he’s introducing some (mild) swearing. And illogically, right on the heels of a sudden rush of relief, Horace felt his anger welling up. I’m always impressed with Flanagan’s fight scenes which are described well enough for me to follow them and for them to make sense without getting bogged down in the detail. There are oblique references to the previous adventure (Erak’s Ransom) and the next one (The Kings of Clonmel) but I think it’s just to position this story within the timeline. Another good instalment in the series. July 2021 3.5-4 stars Another exciting installment in the Ranger's Apprentice series. Left wondering at the end of the last book, Will assembles a motley crew to help rescue his oldest friend Alyss from the clutches of a rogue, whose treachery imperils Araluen. Along with Horace, shipwrecked Skandians, the exiled Lord's son, and his forest friends, Will mounts a daring rescue. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Endlich kommt der Fortsetzungsband von "Der Krieger der Nacht" : Wills Rettungsversuch ist gescheitert. Alyss ist immer noch auf Burg Macindaw gefangen. Da kommt wunderbarerweise Hilfe: Horace und eine Bande Seeräuber unter der Führung von Gundar (vgl. auch "Der Angriff der Temujai-Reiter") sind als Unterstützung hochwillkommen. Dennoch ist die scheinbar uneinnahmbare Burg mit der kleinen Schar eigentlich nicht zu erobern. Als Will von dem Anführer der Skotten erfährt, was für ein schändliches Bündnis sie mit Keren, dem aktuellen Befehlshaber von Macindaw vereinbart haben, lässt er sich einen raffinierten Plan einfallen. Kampf, List, Liebe und Abenteuer: J. Flanagan bietet auch hier wieder die richtige Mischung. Damit wäre die "2. Staffel" beendet. Die spannend-fantastische Abenteuerwelt begeistert weiterhin und kann gerne empfohlen werden Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
