Critic reviews

"[W]ill leave readers waiting impatiently for book three." (Booklist)

Excellent 2nd Installment

The only complaint I have is that I finished it too quickly and now I have to wait for the next book!

Continues to Entertain

After years of reading these books, it still throws me off to hear the narrator's voice choices for many of the characters. That's a personal problem, however, and i didn't reflect it on my rating. The first and second parts of this particular story weren't his BEST, but he clearly still has his world-building touch. At first, like other listeners, I was a tad annoyed at the extensive conversations between Mad and her horse. However, it soon dawned on me that she isn't like other Rangers. She's not shy and quiet, and her mind must not be either, therefore i didn't reflect it on my rating either.
P.S. Buy both books if you don't like cliff hangers.

The story line.

I truly enjoy these series by Mr. Keeting. He makes the main caracter exhibit strong moral atribtes while still showing there human side.

grrrr

always love cliff hangers. good book over all and love the series. just why leave it on a cliff hangers!

love the story. could do without the terrible...

terrible voice! love the story though. the guy is just super inconsistent with the voices and also makes women sound helpless and idiotic even though they are supposed to be powerful characters.

I'm furious it ended!!!

such a good book. I didn't like the idea of princess Madelyn becoming the protagonist I'm miss halt the most but he and will made these books. But Flanagan has made me love yet another character. On top of that this book is non stop action and I couldn't wait to hear more!

Edifying

Many life lessons in fictional style
Entertaining and educational book
