Optional review: This is book 8 of the Ranger Apprentice series which follows several preteens in a medieval society from the time they are chosen to apprentice with a local Master whatever up to this book where each has achieved success in their apprenticed field and are now starting to train others. I strongly recommend reading them in order; they are fun escapism and each ends in a cliffhanger.
