While tied with the previous book for the worst peak-rangers apprentice book, it’s still very good.

I'm not the type of person who cries over books or characters dying. The first time I read this, I cried. This time, I was still close to tears. I think that said, is enough.

Just finished this book this morning (finally found it! Bookstores NEVER have this one). I made gross sobbing noises through the majority of the book. I literally screamed several times. My heart pounded the entire time. I laughed out loud. I closed the book and considered throwing it a dozen times. But it. Was. So. GOOD! I love these books!

*Technically finished this book yesterday but forgot to update*
So while I've noticed that the books in "The Ranger's Apprentice" series come in pairs (with the exception of Erak's Ransom *haven't read books 10-12, so will stand corrected if I'm proven wrong), but in the past pairings (1+2, 3+4, 5+6), the second one, the "sequel" or the concluding instalment of that particular adventure has been the better of the two (with the exception of 1+2 - they were equally as awesome). However, I felt "Halt's Peril" didn't follow suit to my observations. For me it felt a little dull. I mean, don't get me wrong - the majority of the middle of the book is gripping in terms of "Please please please no no no" but I just feel that it was a rather slow decline from "The Kings of Clonmel" - which was actually a great instalment. "Halt's Peril" didn't quite live up to expectations of epicness. This was only the second time reading this novel in the series compared to the past 8 which have been read at least four times each. All in all, this is the only pairing where I prefer the first of the two over the conclusion.
