Rating: Needs Parent Supervision, ages 15+
Reading Level: Middle School
A continuation of the story of a 13-year-old ranger apprentice and his friends as they battle a new enemy seeking to invade a foreign country.
There are no new concerns, just repeats of concerns from previous books in the series. This was less perilous/vicious than others.
- Pagan Gods. There are a couple mentions of the gods of this Nordic religion and an oath taken in their name.
- Addiction. There is mention of a boy’s addiction and subsequent rehab from a drug.
- Slavery. Slaves are given an opportunity to earn freedom fighting against the enemy.
- Peril. Sword fights, flying arrows.
- Romance. Nothing physical or sensual; just two boys jealous over the same girl, and one not knowing how to handle his feelings for her.
Things I liked:
- Self-sacrifice. In several instances, characters display self-sacrifice to serve or protect others.
- Loyalty.
- Courage.
- Creative problem-solving
- Setting racism aside to humbly join forces against a common enemy.
Definitely read the books in order. Here are links to my reviews of other books in the series:
