I'm so glad Halt's back in the thick of things! Will, Halt, and Horace save Evanlyn from the marauders (Temujai) and end up helping to save Skandia as well. I like the strategy of the battle and Slagor's comeupance. These books are kind of addicting. (Louie is reading book 3, which I haven't blogged about yet) right now.

Libby ebook.
Yep. I plowed right through books 1-4 and am currently on book 5. Addicting!
Chapter 40: "'I'm so sorry, everyone. But if you ever knew my grandmother, you'd understand why my grandfather might have been tempted! Grandma had a face like a robber's dog - and a temperament to match it!'"
Cassandra is not behaving in a very princess-like manner here, but she definitely helped Halt reconcile with her father, King Duncan. Her outburst made me laugh. She has just spent a year as a captive of a rough, raiding tribe of people . . . so her manners may take a while to revert to polite courtliness.
Chapter 40: " . . . Halt's tonsorial efforts."
I don't see that word often, but the fact that Halt's hair looks as though he's hacked it off with his belt knife . . . great use of context to teach vocab, Mr. Flanagan!
