The Siege of Macindaw

by John Flanagan
Book 6 of The Ranger's Apprentice series
PRMS hardcover 293 pages
genre: adventure, fantasy

Nice! Of course, Will and Horace are victorious. I love the Skandians and Malcolm. The Scotti were an interesting addition. Keren and his mesmerizing blue stone, abrupt changes in behavior - not so much. Great fighting scenes. Looking forward to #7. (Is it weird that I enjoy YA books so much? Arrested development, perhaps.)

Chapter 28: "Before you start swinging around like a demented milkmaid at a Spring Festival hop-dance, look over your damned shoulder!"

 

This line made me laugh! Gundar (one of the Skandians) is talking to Nils (one of his crew) as they are preparing to siege Macindaw castle. 

 

I liked the way Will interacted with the various characters and planned to defeat Keren, Buttle, and the other bad guys.


I loved that Will and Horace drank so much coffee that Malcolm was seriously concerned about a shortage!
