I really wish we got to have will and Cass/Evanlyn talk about what happened to them in skandia at the end of book 4... I wish we had gotten cassandras full thoughts on will and trying to get him to stay at castle araluen and will trying to explain that he doesn't know how to act around royalty and that he is a ranger at heart and that the two of them leave each other on better terms .... excuse me while I go cry

pt. 4

super fast can mean a couple days right?

I really liked the portion of the book that was just the boys traveling and Gilan teaching them.

Solidifying his role as the big brother.

He seemed both patient and stressed at the same time and y'know what? Fair.

I too would be really worried if I was babysitting a pair of sixteen year old boys, friends no less, who were not the most careful pair in a different country which seemed to have it's own mysterious disaster strike right as ours had just entered a war, and we needed their army so we all didn't die.

He hid a lot of his stress well though, he seemed very levelheaded during the tenser moments.

I really like Will. I like his character, I feel like he's decently well rounded and a good protagonist. He's probably my favorite character.

I really really like how annoying he is. I like that he trys to act like he knows more than he does when trying to impress both Halt and Gilan, and gets humbled both times. He made that same mistake about a year apart, and it should have been annoying because didn't he already learn this in the first book? Yes. Does he need to learn it again in this book? Also Yes. He's a kid whose trying to make a good impression on people he respects and show off to one of his friends and he fails spectacularly at it each time because he's young and learning and an apprentice.

One of his greatest strengths is his mind, and how smart he is. A flaw is that he doesn't want people to see he doesn't know something, a flaw that could be detrimental to being a Ranger.

He's learning this lesson multiple times without it being over done, and that makes him more likeable because it's such a real flaw, but not excessive and annoying.

I also really like the fact that while Horace and Will are close friends in this book, there were still a couple of rocky moments, because their relationship changed so recently. A lot of other stories would skip over any awkwardness in a relationship like this because it's not the focus anymore. Their friends now, it's a done deal right? NO. They had an argument and moved past it almost immediately because they're friends now but that doesn't erase the rest of their lives.

I was pulling my hair out when they started sparring though because guys you're not safely in familiar territory anymore and there's something weird going on.

I also really like that the two of them are freaking each other out about the situation more than they need to. Theyre kids. They're scared. It's great.

Will's love for Tug conquers all. Adorable. He loves Tug. He feels so bad he didn't listen when Tug warned him about the bandits. So sweet.

The bandits getting their asses beat.

Evanlyn you scared the life out of everyone, Welcome aboard.

Gilan trusting Will to lead and keep everyone is so sweet. He believes in Will and i just. My heart. They're brothers you're honor they love each other.

Gilan leaving the kids thinking they'll be safe is. This man is about to feel so guilty.

In the fourth book, Cassandra began to laugh at the reason Halt had been sentenced, to defuse the tension and give Duncan an opportunity to treat it differently than if they had all stood and stared at each other in horror.

She was not only a damn princess but also a diplomat. She owed Halt her life and she knew that Duncan was aware of it. By not taking it seriously as a betrayal, she had helped them all gain time to think about what now, despite the public around them.

She did what she could in this situation to help Halt.

Halt did something very similar for her in the seventh book, when he started mocking in public to kill them already and instead of Cassandra, the focus was on him...

In this essay I will-
