hey have always scared him in the past — the Rangers, with their dark cloaks and shadowy ways. The villagers believe the Rangers practice magic that makes them invisible to ordinary people. And now 15-year-old Will, always small for his age, has been chosen as a Ranger's apprentice. What he doesn't yet realize is that the Rangers are the protectors of the kingdom. Highly trained in the skills of battle and surveillance, they fight the battles before the battles reach the people. And as Will is about to learn, there is a large battle brewing. The exiled Morgarath, Lord of the Mountains of Rain and Night, is gathering his forces for an attack on the kingdom. This time, he will not be denied.... 




This book is book from 'my childhood' in a way. I've read it on elementary school and it became my istant love. The way it's written, the characters the dialogues the describtions.

This was the third time I've read through the book and it didn't take me long to flip through the pages. It's a literall page turner, action is behind every corner and you want to either know what will happen next or more about the characters that are travelling along the journey through the kingdom.
To add it 'added gas to the fire' you could say, of my love for middle ages and all that. I wanted to become a part of the Rangers and everything you could possibly think off.

As for the technical side of things the book was an excellent debut for the author and it wasn't lacking anything. There was humour, non-confusing dialogues between the characters even development. And despite it being in third POV narrative when the character was confused so were you. Very, very well written and would recommend to kids from 6th grade to any adult. It's interesting to say the least because despite having the setting in a 'real world' with all working components of middle aged society with parts where magic fits in.
