Erak's Ransom by John Flanagan
4.0
O lanta what an entertaining continuation to a beloved series. Yes, Erak's Ransom should probably be read right after Battle of Skandia to get the full effect, but I don't think it matters either way.
Erak, oberjarl of the Skandians, desires one last raid before settling into his position of power. Betrayed by one of his own, Erak is taken hostage by the desert people he has hoped to raid, now Will, Halt, Cassandra, and Horace (among others) must "diplomatically" rescue their friend. During which, catastrophe of course occurs, leaving one to save the rest.
Again I found this book on par (or better) with each and every one of the earlier books. We got to see a fun new side of Halt (my favorite, he can dance, did you know that?!), watch Cassandra blossom into the power princess we always knew she was (wicked acting), and of course get the banter we've enjoyed side the beginning.
