Review+3



As the young man climbed up a tall tree he knew it might be the last time in the village for the fact that the choosing was the next day... This young man’s name was Will, and he was an orphan. This poor young child was only left a note about his father (the note said: His father died a hero). This book is extremely addictive and well organized, this book is called __//**The Ruins Of Gorlan, by John Flanagan.**//__

As a young man Will and Horace would always fight, and as Horace was big and strong he would always over power Will in the attempt. After they get news about the choosing of the apprentices they all get nervous, at least Will. Will has no idea what he will be chosen for in fear that he may be chosen to be a farmer because farmer’s do nothing except make crops the whole time. When he goes back to his bedding area he hears Horace start to make fun of him because he is a wimp and very skinny with no muscles. When Will hears this he runs to the castle called Castle Redmont and climbs up the tallest tree. When he thinks about all the consequences he will make to go to the choosing he decides to go back to the foster home.

When Will and Horace go to the choosing’s, he sees many of his foster friends (Alice, Jenny, and someone else). When the masters come into the area they look at everyone and they choose, Everyone gets chosen to go to where they wanted-except Will. When they all realized that a master ranger named Halt snuck his way into the window up to where they are they all go in shock. When Will sees that Halt gives a letter to the baron Arald, he thinks that he can’t resist. When the Baron Arald walks away and dismisses everyone from where they go he tells Will to stay and talk to him. When they talk he says that there will be another choosing for him in the morning. The thing is... Will can’t stop thinking about what is happening, it is rare that a ranger takes on an apprentice. Everyone in the village is feared of rangers for their special abilities. They think that they are sorcery's because they can pop up anywhere without being seen. Also Will can’t believe what happened...

The best part of this book is yet to be revealed because a crisis happens. The lord of the mountains of rain and light (sun) has ruled and became more powerful by the minute. When he reveals that he has brought out one of the most feared beast in the century, important people begin to die. When Will has hope of being a part of the Castle Redmont he is set up to be loyal and apply to all. When he gets helpless one night he leaves the orphanage and walks through the castle to get to the window. There is a master guard at the door therefore he sneaks past up the roof into the window. When he reaches his hand in the doorway no one is there... And he tries to grab the envelope that holds his fate, however, A HAND REACHES OUT AND GRABS HIM.

If anyone likes to get lost into an action book then this book is for you. For example, If you think that you are to old for this book, THEN THINK AGAIN because you will miss out on one of the greatest books you will ever read. That is why I recommend the book __//**The Ruins Of Gorlan.**//__
