A review by tabithar
Erak's Ransom by John Flanagan
4.0
This is one of the better books in the series and has pacing more like The Battle for Skandia. In this adventure, the reader gets to explore much more of the world. The bulk of the story occurs in this world's version of Africa/India/Middle East. In the end, the overarching goal is about getting people to work together and negotiation in tough situations.
Comments on the series:
It feels like the series is rolling more politically now whereas the beginning felt like it was going to be more magical. I'm not sure if the author lost the magic ideas or what. The faster pace made this a much more enjoyable than 5&6 which were sort of magical. Despite the magic, 5&6 were less entertaining due to extremely slow pacing. Quality and editing from book to book in this series is rather variable.
