The Seige of Macindaw by John FLanagan


Flanagan, John The Seige of Macindaw, 293 p. Philomel (Penguin), 2009.

Violence: PG. $17.99.

Ranger Will is hiding in the forest outside Macindaw, working with Malcolm, the supposed wizard, to find a way to rescue Alyss fromt eh clutches of the evil Keren, who has killed the former Lord of the castle and made a pact with the Scottito allow them to invade all of Araluen. With the help of his best friend Horace, the craft of Malcolm and his fellows and even the aid of a crew of Skandians, there may just be hope for everyone.

Flanagan has finally released the second half of the third scenario in the Ranger’s Apprentice series. I’m glad I held my patience, for I certainly enjoyed the read. Fans of the series will not be disappointed – but remember to encourage new readers to start from the beginning!
