" This book was meant to go in the middle of the series he has already written. Because it is a coming-of-age series, the book doesn't stand well on it's own like this. If I had read it where it was meant to go (if he'd written it in the right order) it would have been fine. "

" The events in this book take place between 4 and 5. Will is a few months away from earning his silver leaf and his own post. Halt marries Lady Pauline but is immidiately sent out on another mission when word comes that Erak is being held ransom in Arrida. Princess Cassandra is sent out on her first royal mission to negotiate the trade and is joined by Gilan, Halt, Will, Svengal, Horace and the crew of Erak's boat. They meet with the Wakir, Selethen, lord of the area and they discuss the ransom but when it comes time to release Erak they find out he has been sent to another town to be held. So the party and Selethen go to release Erak. During a sandstorm, Will loses Tug and leaves the party to search for him. Traveling alone in the unfamiliar desert he gets lost and is on deaths door when he is found by a group of nomads who restores him to health. They also find Tug wandering around the desert but refuse to give Tug back to Will, as the law of the desert says that if a horse is released, anyone who finds that horse can claim it as their own. But the nomads love a good gamble and Will wins him back in a horse race. Meanwhile, the others have been taken prisoner by the Tualaghi, and are about to be executed by order of their leader Yusal. The nomads offer to help rescue Will's friends and slip into the city. Halt is pulled forward to the chopping block, as the executioner bring his sword up, Will, from one of the towers on the town wall, shoots him with a well placed arrow. Fighting breaks out and while trying to escape Toshak, the Skandian who betrayed Erak, is challenged and dies in a fight with Erak. Back in Araluen, Will recieves his silver leaf and is renamed Will Treaty. And the book closes on his graduation party. "

" In this installment of the Ranger's Apprentice series, Will is sent on a mission to rescue Erak who is being held for ransom by a desert dwelling people in a land we haven't visited yet in the books. As simple as this sounds, there are twists and turns in the plot that keep the book moving along at a good pace. I liked watching Will grow and mature. I liked the lands and people that the writer creates for us his readers. I did feel that Flanagan was a little less serious in writing this one - some of the depth of character was missing and he was a little too flip with some scenes in the book. But I did enjoy it. "

" I liked this book because it had a lot of action and it also had a lot of humor. I also like this book because there were a lot of unexpected things that happen such as Will finding a powerful tribe of warriors, but at first they seem just like a regular tribe. "

" It was good to go a little back in time to see Wil as the Apprentice again. The author still has a tendency to shift POV without telling the reader, but I do love these characters now so I'll put up with it a little while longer. "
