Halt's Peril (Ranger's Apprentice Series #9) Book

I just love everything Flanagan has done with this series. I am so disappointed only by the fact that I only have 1 book left + the lost stories. I have already put book one of his outcast series on hold for my kindle and am deperately waiting for it to come in.

This series has a perfect blend of action, plot development, character development, dialouge and depth of relationships....basically everything one could want in a fantasy series. In this edition Halt, Will & Horace pick up the chase that was left off in the previous book. Now that they have hindered the spread of the devious outsiders cult that plauged Clomnell...they persue them back into Arulean where the tattered remains of the cult seek to reestablish their control of the masses. The dock side encounters were pretty eventful as well as humerous. Their persuit of the enemy cult leader led to the main predicament in this book "Halt's Peril". And as halt gets caught into a battle for life and death, Will goes and brings back an old friend from books 5 & 6 Malcolm. it was nice getting aquainted with him, and who knows a side series about him could prove interesting. It would be fun to see how a back water healer has knowledge of some of the worlds most secret and notorious dangers. The deepening friendship between the 3 amigos, has been fun to watch them grow as individuals as well as collectively in their relationships with one another. Horace has gone from a simply faithful side kick, to a fearsome partner and offers many humerous antecdotes to give some levity to the story.

My only disappointment again is that it seems as with all good things this series to must someday end!
