In this seventh iteration of the twelve books in the Ranger’s Apprentice series, you get front-row

seating to the telling of a story that should have been told two books ago and the inspiration of

which most likely came from a small mark on Horace’s face. In this book, you are introduced to

the desert lands of Arrida and its exotic citizens such as Selethen who is really just Erak of the

desert if Erak was thin, lived in the desert, and was graceful. In this story, you get to see the final

spurts of Horace’s, Evanlyn’s (sorry, Cassandra, my bad), and Will’s journey into adulthood. It

is a touching story in which the characters (especially Halt) learn a little and gain a lot in the

form of new friends. You don’t want to miss this telling of the tale where Halt finally accepts

that he’ll have to let Will go and Will learns that you should never let go of a horse in a

sandstorm (who would’ve guessed?). I would strongly recommend this book just as I would

recommend any of the other Ranger Apprentice books. Just... read it in the right order. It’s easy:

1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, and sprinkle some 11 in where you can find the space. But do it.

Read it. Like a normal person.
