  <default-description>Bracing for a final clash with the evil warlord Morgarath, the Rangers rally the kingdom's allies, and Will is chosen, along with his friend Horace, as special envoys to nearby Celtica. But the simple mission soon takes an unsettling turn - the Celticans have disappeared, their town abandoned. The scheming hand of Morgarath, it seems, has been far from idle. He has found a way to bring his legions over the once impassible eastern mountains and is planning to ambush the king's army in a rout. Now with help many miles away, Will and Horace are the only ones standing in the way of the dark lord's plans.They have shown great skill and courage in their training, but how will they fare in the face of true evil?&lt;P&gt; With bigger battles and higher stakes, John Flanagan's epic adventure charges ahead with this rousing follow-up to &lt;i&gt;The Ruins of Gorlan.&lt;/i&gt;</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[I have returned from a month of eldercare and my own 2-week illness. (Never get a flu shot and a pneumonia vaccine on the same day!). I listened to this book as part of my teen reading.  At first, I was put off with an opening scene that provided no context from the previous book or sense of the cha...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76421554">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The plot was enjoyable, and it moved at a better pace than the first book.  But I still dislike two things about the author's style: first, he overexplains everything, leaving little to the imagination.  He tells, not shows; and second, the reader is forced into the heads of too many characters, whi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/63621423">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a 3 1/2 for me.  Thus far I'm enjoying the series although I'm a little ticked about the super cliff-hanger ending.<br/><br/>The characters are strong and interesting.  They seem like real, normal kids put in difficult situations.  I appreciate how they try so hard to do what is right, eve...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62531376">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I was initially intrigued by Flanagan's take on the juvenile fantasy novel--the first book in the Ranger's Apprentice series was entertaining and intriguing, though I often felt myself pulled out of the story by modern references.

    <body><![CDATA[I was not disappointed by this second Ranger's Apprentice book.  It is consistently as interesting, captivating, and exciting as the first.  It seems to me as though this is what Lord of the Rings fans must feel about those books, which I could never get through.  Even though this series does not fi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71089758">more...</a>]]></body>
