#Brotherband book 8 synopsis series#

Writing Style: I'm going to have to be honest here, there's nothing really wrong with John Flanagan's writing style in these books, but I just can't help but feel they're a little less shall we say polished as the first three and especially the Ranger books. The Romance: Still nothing, thankfully, I'm still dreading a love triangle between Lydia, Hal and Stig, but so far nothing.

Baddies are important, not to be taken lightly. Especially since we went through three or four of them in this one.

#Brotherband book 8 synopsis series#

I always felt that the Ranger's Apprentice series had some awesome villains, even if they were cliche on occasion (the books kind of are, but I love that, classic adventure) but in the Brotherband books, apart from the baddie in the first three (forgot his name) these last two have just been disappointing. I was mostly disappointed with the villains in this book. For the little bit Cassandra/Evanlyn was in this book she still managed to annoy me. I still like Hal, I'm still indifferent about Lydia, I love seeing Gilan again, he was always a favorite character Thorn is still awesome, I can't help but like him. I do like the knotwork on the spines.Ĭharacters: Pretty much, my opinion of all the characters has not changed. I think I liked the old ones better, but there's nothing wrong with it either.

Thoughts on the Overall Book: I am still enjoying this series, I'm a huge John Flanagan fan, so I will always read and enjoy his books, but I had hoped this one would exceed the last one, and it didn't really, so I was a bit disappointed, I'll admit.Ĭover-Yea or Nay: I'm undecided whether I like the new covers or not.
