4.5 stars

This is one of those books that I enjoyed too much to be able to sum up my feelings in a review. I have no idea what else to say other than I loved this book. The characters, the plot, the writing style, it was also so well done. I had no real expectations for this series but it has already blow Nielsen’s newer series, Mark of the Thief, out of the water. I loved our protagonist, Sage. He was witty and brilliant. I loved that the narration was vague enough that the readers had to piece together things for themselves. I loved not knowing what was going to come next and how easily the plotline sucked me in. I didn’t want to put the book down for a single second. I was so consumed, so engaged. I definitely loved this book and would recommend it to all Ranger’s Apprentice fans.
