The Icebound Land: Ranger's Apprentice, Book 3

This is Book 3 the series, and I’m immediately wanting to move on to Book 4. With just the right amount of suspense and action, and I find myself anxious to see what tactics for survival the men and woman in this story will deploy next.

Each book on the series just gets better and better! Can't wait to dig into the next. Halt is a BAMF

Each book, so far, is better than the previous. I’m looking forward to continuing. May even read them all. The end.

Excellent price - fast shipping! Very Pleased.

So good heart wrenching and beautiful! Was really nice to have some breaks each character with halt to help ease the drama a bit.

The Icebound Land, book three of The Ranger's Apprentice series, takes things in a new direction as the dangers of battle and espionage are exchanged for the perils of imprisonment and travel in hostile lands. As with the first two novels in this stellar series, The Icebound Land delivers a gripping story filled with interesting characters and places, and with just enough plot turns to keep you guessing until the end.In the chaos that followed the fearsome final battle with Lord Morgarath, young apprentice Ranger Will and his new friend Evanlyn are taken captive by the fierce Skandian raider, Jarl Erak. Disgusted by the failure in Araluen, Erak plans to sell Will and Evanlyn as slaves to covers the expenses for his journey across the Stormwhite Sea. Will and Evanlyn fight to stay together as they make the wild sea voyage, but once they reach the Skandian capital of Hallasholm, an insidious enemy threatens to take Will away for good. Only Evanlyn's ingenuity and courage - and the aid of an unlikely ally - can save them both.Back in Araluen, Halt is increasingly frustrated by King Duncan's refusal to allow him to pursue the Skandians and rescue Will. He made a promise to recover his apprentice and he means to keep that promise, even if doing so means defying his King and forsaking his vow as a Ranger. Shamed, stripped of his place in the Ranger Corps and banished from the Kingdom of Araluen, Halt sets out to rescue Will, but he is not alone. Will's best friend and former wardmate, Horace is an apprentice warrior with a natural gift for swordplay. He joins Halt on the journey and stands beside him as they cross the treacherous Gallican countryside.This series continues to captivate. Mr. Flanagan has a real knack for describing the strategy and actuality of skirmishes and battles, as well as for building an interesting and detailed world. Best of all, the Ranger's Apprentice books tell stories you WANT to read about characters you truly admire.

This third book picked up where it ended on the second book. It entailed the life of Will and Evanlyn as slaves in Skandia, and the journey of Halt and Horace upon rescuing Will and Evanlyn. There were times that my heart was in my heart due to the suspense on Will and Evanlyn’s escape from slavery. I got a little frustrated when the chapters on Halt and Horace were longer than Will and Evanlyn. I guessed the author was illustrating the prime of Horace in battle while accompanying Halt to rescue his lost apprentice, Will. The book was a page-turner and an easy read. It’s suitable for young readers. The plot was stirring and entertaining. I felt like I was transported back in time.

Got this for my nephew. It's very nastolgic for me. I loved this series growing up. The first 4 or so books are the best. This book picks up after Will's abduction at the end of our last book. His fate is unknown and Halt his mentor and Horace his best friend set off to find him. Their travels take them abroad to Scandia and the fate that awaits them there. It's an exciting continuance of an epic story. You won't want to miss it!

Came relatively quickly. this book is great for 13-14 year olds who love to read adventure novels.

O livro chegou antes do prazo estimado, ótimo livro.

Commande reçu dans les temps ! Le livre était génial en français et je voulais le relire en anglais !

I don't want to write a review but I have to because there is no skip button and it won't stop bothering me.

Flanagan has done it again and given us another brilliant sequel to Ruins of Gorlan. The icebound land follows on from the burning bridge with Will and Evanlyn taken by the Skandians and across the ocean to Skandia where they will be turned into slaves, Halt along with Horace has set out to recover his lost apprentice and to bring him back to Araluen. There is excitment, adventure, tension and cool fighting scenes, this third book improves on the first two and i hope they just keep getting better and better.For lovers of fantasy this is a must, do not buy Eragon, buy this instead, the ranger's apprentice series is the best fantasy/adventure series to come along in many years.
