2 The Burning Bridge

Will and his friend Horace with the guidance of Gilan set out on a journey. When they reach their destination, they find not only abandon villages, but something much more sinister.

The bad guys are bad, does this sound lame or lame?

Will, Horace and Gilan share a good relationship. Laughing with each other and teaching each other. They are kind to others and try and make the best decisions they can. Every one is willing to lay down their lives to save others. Is there a greater love?

These aren't the best books ever, they smell of Lord of the Rings. I liked them, not really something to ponder, but not bad.

1 The Ruins of Gorlan

Will has always wanted to be a warrior. His father was the bravest and best and Will wants to honor his memory. But Will is not cut out to be a warrior. So on choosing day he is chosen by a strange and mysterious Ranger named Halt. Being a Ranger is different than anything thing else Will has ever experienced. With many things in store for him then he had ever thought of.

There is talk of Will stealing petty things and he tries to steal a document from his benefactor.

Will is a nice guy, honest and kind. Halt is fair, but not merciful. He cares about what happens to Will. The book is about doing the right thing and being honorable.

The first book is a little slow, but by the time you've finished the second one, your hooked. The characters are charming and fun, the story is nothing to write home about, but fun to read.
