The Icebound Land by John Flanagan ★★★★☆

Well Done
Fiction – YA/Juvenile – Medieval
266 pages
Age Level: 10 and up | Grade Level: 5 and up
Publication Date: June 26, 2007
Ranger's Apprentice #3

The Icebound Land (Ranger's Apprentice, #3)Halt and Horace follow after Will and Evanlyn to Skandia to set them free from their kidnappers.

This book was a major improvement and I only have good things to say.  The pacing was superb.  The excitement suspense and drama began right from the start.  The story was a bit unexpected and pleasantly surprising.  The writing never broke with the book reality.  I loved the dynamics of differing points of view of the same events and was impressed at how well done the two story lines were done.  All of the characters were fully realized and distinctive from other as well as the different cultures.

I just really enjoyed it and by the end I was clamoring for the next one and so grateful to have a local library with a decent children’s section.
