Anant’s Reviews > Halt's Peril > Status Update

I used to think that Tennyson's followers would never leave him because of all the rituals they did with him, now I think that Tennyson's followers left because they realized how foolish they were for thinking there was a god called Aleisass and realized that Tennyson just wanted their gold.

I used to think that Knights like Horace and Rangers like Will would be very strict and would have no humor, now I think that both knights and rangers have humor because Horace keeps joking around that no one cans see him because he is wearing a ranger cloak. Also, Will said that he didn't want Horace to come in the cave with him because he would lose sight of him.

Before, I used to think that Will was flawless and could beat anyone at anything, now I think that he can still improve on some things because he needs to improve on his knife skills because the Genovesan nearly killed him during their knife fight, Will also needs to improve his anger management because he raged at the Genovesan and nearly killed him before they got the information.

The description of the acai poison the Genovesans use helped me see how much of a risk treating Halt is, because if Malcolm treats him with the wrong potion he will die, there is no way of knowing which potion will work, there are only two potions. That is why I don't understand why Will didn't try to capture the other Genovesan to ask him what poison he used on that arrow to shoot Halt.

I wonder where Halt got shot, was it a fatal shot by the Genovesans, or did it nick him. My prediction that the Genovesans would hit Halt was correct, but now I wonder what Will will do.

pg 125 Will, Horace, and Halt are scavenging through the woods for the Genovesans, they are very nervous, this is similar to how my friends and I once played hide and seek in the woods and I tried to find them, I was very nervous that there would be an animal or something scary in the woods.

Horace reminds me of Keefe in Keeper of The Lost Cities because Horace makes a lot of jokes and Halt is amused by him, Keefe also is the funny type, and everyone is amused by him. For example, Horace asked Halt why it was named One Ravens Pass and not something that was realistic, which amused Halt.

From the text clues, I can conclude that Tennyson will do anything to get what he wants because on page 65 Tennyson and his followers killed two country folk just to get some food, they are very ruthless.
