The Sorcerer in the North | John Flanagan
7 posts | 43 read | 4 to read
The Sorcerer in the North is the fifth thrilling book in John Flanagan's Ranger's Apprentice series - over eight million sold worldwide. Will is finally a full-fledged Ranger with his own fief to look after - but his new land is already under threat. The Grimsdell Forest is being haunted by eerie voices and the terrifying figure of the Night Warrior. Could this really be the work of sorcery? Joined by his friend Alyss, Will is suddenly thrown headfirst into an extraordinary adventure. As Will battles growing hysteria, traitors, and most of all, time, Alyss is taken hostage, and Will is forced to make a desperate choice between his mission and his friend. Perfect for fans of J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, T.H. White's The Sword in the Stone, Christopher Paolini's Eragon series and Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series.

Cliff-hanger, almost literally. Have ‘The Siege of Macindaw‘ ready to go ...

Will has matured as a Ranger.
But, along with the other skills of a Ranger, he had learned patience. As he sat and waited for his superiors to broach the subject, he felt Halt‘s approving eye on him from time to time as his former teacher assessed this new-found quality.

Will‘s first posting as a Ranger. This is book 5 but follows after events in book 7 when he got his silver badge to symbolise his graduating from Ranger‘s Apprentice.

‘The long grass shivered once more. It was only a faint movement but there was no wind to cause it - as the hanging clouds of steam from the horses‘ breath clearly showed.‘

This is why I think Flanagan is such a good YA author. His characters show intelligence and he doesn‘t talk down to his audience.

When you find a typo that should have been caught before it was published. 🙄

Donna_sBookMinute @rynae I've read that books with typos are supposed to be worth something. Anybody else know anything about that? It's been a while since I read it. It may be a discontinued practice. 8y
QuoteQueen I always find this annoying and laughable, especially when it's a later edition of a text book. 8y
rynae @Donna_sBookMinute I'm not sure! Unfortunately this is a library book, so they own the golden ticket if that's true. 😁 8y
rynae @VeteransWife512 It really bothers me. Especially when a simple word processing spell check would have caught it. 8y
Donna_sBookMinute I agree that it's annoying. I found an error in a description and emailed the editor so they could correct it before the next printing. Haven't received an acknowledgement. I guess they'll fix it. 8y

Woke up late and I'm not ashamed. Saturday reading is seriously the best.

BookFreakOut Love that series! One of the few I've kept up with over the course of so many books, I started when Burning Bridge was new. 8y
rynae @BookFreakOut They are so good! They just give me warm fuzzies. 8y
