Pendragon: The Soldiers of Halla

So about two months ago I posted a blog talking about the first book in this series. Now I have finally arrived at the last and I have to say, that this series is honestly one of my favorites. You may think it may be repetitive, Pendragon going to a territory and trying to save it, but it's not. Each and every book has its own, flare, you could say. And I was not disappointed by the last book. There is only one word of how I could describe this finale. Perfect.

Pendragon has finally learned everything about himself, and Halla. If you don't know what I'm talking about you can read the summary here: Summary or you can go read the book. What I liked most about this book was the suspense that MacHale had created, the setting of everything being lost, bu having one final chance to bring victory. He also put a great amount of detail into describing every scene in the book, painting an amazing visual in your mind, making it feel like you were right there witnessing it all.

All in all I really enjoyed this book, and would give it 10/10 stars. I recommend this book to anyone of all ages.

Ranger's Apprentice - Halt's Peril

There are many words to describe this book, but from the top of my head I can only think of five. A twelve year old's dream. Now you people above twelve may be thinking this book will not interest you at all, you may want to stick around. You might be surprised by what you here.
A brief summary in my words would be in this book three people, Halt and Will who are rangers, and Horace, who is a knight, go down to hunt a local cult that has been stealing from commoners. Ranger's are people who can blend into any of their surrounds by remaining still and donning a cloak that morphs in with the background. They are also masters of bows. Read the full summary here:


This book may seem for kids of younger ages, but trust me even if you're in college you would enjoy reading this book. It utilizes many things that keep you on the edge of your seat and blends together perfectly, suspense, drama, action, carefree, and even a slight bit of romance. With all these attributes in hand, it makes for a great story.

So I suggest you go out and read the first book, and if you like it you should read the rest of the series, because it just gets better and better.
