the time skip again, so Will is a true ranger, He goes to a rangers gathering and Halt has some bad news, Time for another adventure. It features some background information about Halt but overall its just another light adventure that doesnt feel like it reaches the heights of the previous books, I picked this up because my nephew left it on table, I had started to read one Ranger's Apprentice before, and couldn't finish it, I read about/, and the adventure was pretty boring, the characters were flat, and the love interest was cardboard,
Best scene when young Will's adventure in previous books had been turned into a training exercise for his own apprentices, and he had to explain to them that they couldn't use his solution because they didn't have those resources available.
LOL "the problems stay the same, but the solutions keep changing" Lois McMaster Bujold Everytime I read books from this series I come away thinking the samethings:
John Flanagan is really not that great of a writer
The story line is very predictable with no surprises or unforseen twists
I have a hard time believing that a character like a ranger in this book could be so smart one moment and then so dumb the next.
The same thing applies to their abilities, Sometimes they seem like superheroes who could take on a whole army by themselves, and other times they seem like they struggle to take down a single character.
Make up your mind Flanagan! Do they have super powers or not!
For some reason, I really enjoy reading them anyway in spite of numbers,
And so, I continue to read and even to enjoy this series, although I'm not really sure why, Als Will op de jaarlijkse bijeenkomst van de Grijze Jagers arriveert, blijkt zijn grote vriend en mentor afwezig te zijn, Halt is op onderzoek in het westen van het rijk en als hij uiteindelijk terugkomt, heeft hij slecht nieuws, Er heerst onrust in Hibernia en die onrust dreigt over te slaan op Araluen, Een kwaadwillige religieuze sekte, waarvan de leden zichzelf de Buitenstaanders noemen, probeert er aan de macht te komen, Vijf van de zes koninkrijken van Hibernia zijn al ondermijnd, Het zesde koninkrijk, Clonmel, loopt nu gevaar,

Halt, Will en Arnaut gaan op pad om de orde te herstellen, Kunnen de geheimen uit Halts verleden hen helpen bij hun missie Actually, it's more of a,rating.

For the longest time, it felt like nothing was happening, I'm tiring of the formulaic "I'm the best at everything except when it really matters, "

In the first few books, the plot was fueled by external actions to which our band of merry men reacted, It didn't matter how swift or appropriate their reactions were, things would still get incredibly dangerous, Now, instead, the plot is often fueled by the main characters' mistakes or chancy failures at the worst time possible, For example, Will shoots a thousand arrows, one after the other and hits the mark every time, then when he really needs to take someone out, he fails.
Or Horace, the sword master, suddenly decides to lean his sword against a wall and stroll several meters away in the middle of a battlethis actually happened in sitelinkThe Siege of Macindawleaving himself wide open to an enemy swordsman.
Like this there are another myriad stupid actions that just ruin the heroes' credibility for me,

In this book in particular:
Will's IQ seems to have dropped to Forrest Gump's level.
He's told Tennyson planwhich is a very simple planseveral times, Then, when he's eavesdropping on the bad guys and they say something like "we'll fake an attack in the village where Tennyson is and then, we'll execute a real attack in another village without his 'protection.
' cue evil laugh. So we'll takeguys to the first attack andto the second," Will is "confused" by this revelation, What He doesn't understand why would they taketo attack a big village andfor the smaller one, It's like he never heard of Tennyson's plan at all,

Then we have the Genovesans, Will and Horace asked Halt about them and he told them who and what they were, It wasn't a long description, Mostly a few strong, clear adjectives that leave no room for doubt, Mercenaries, assassins, poisoners. That's right, poisoners, So when Will sees someone that might have been a Genovesan walking away from the pavilion, what's the first thing he should think but doesn't I really hope that you thought "poison" or Forrest Gump and Will may call you to form a trio.
That part was actually painful to read, I had to force myself to forge through, Yes, the battle that followed was pretty neat, but I ask again: Why should the plot be advanced by a main character's so obvious blunder


If you're writing a character who's supposed to be quite intelligent, then sorry, but you have certain restrictions you have to respect.
Either make the bad guy succeed at creating mischief in spite of the good guy's appropriate actions and excellent ideas, i, e. making him just as clever as the good guyMoriarty is a good example of thisor, if you want to roll with just your standard bad guy, then don't elevate the hero to such high standards of intelligence and skill only to have him being a idiot at the crucial moment.
