A good, solid story. I like them, and I'll keep reading them and recommending them to kids, but they are truly kids' books. There's never any real suspense - you know the protagonists are going to come through ok, and you usually have an idea of how.

More of the same but good character development and a nice distraction. Fun. If you liked the other Brotherband Chronicles and the Ranger's Apprentice series, you'll enjoy this one.

Another rollicking adventure with the crew of the Heron. I am really enjoying this series.

I enjoy this series so much. It's true that the plots are a bit predictable at this point. There's not a lot of story that flows from one book to the next. But I keep reading because of the characters.

**spoiler alert** Not as exciting as the last few, but I did enjoy the solution for Ingvar; reminded me of my experience as a kid. This book got me just because I was familiar with the characters and the book moved quickly. I am looking forward to the set up with the crossover characters from the

King Duncan of Araluen has an urgent mission for Hal and the Heron Brotherband. One assassination attempt on Princess Cassandra was foiled. But the killers won't be satisfied until they have fulfilled their honour-bound duty. The Herons, along with Ranger Gilan, set off for Arrida. There they must track the cult of killers across the desert, and infiltrate the cult's mountain lair to find their leader - and stop him. But the giant assassin isn't the only threat they will face. There is a seaside battle looming, and the Herons are called upon to help an old friend of Araluen in his fight.
