The Burning Bridge is the second installment of John Flanagan's Ranger's Apprentice series and it is just as good as the first. Flanagan's ability to create vivid images, intense plot twists, incredible character development and fast, moving dialogue is unparalleled. Will, Halt's ranger's apprentice, is on a mundane quest with two comrades when they discover the evil Morgarath has plotted a surprise attack on the kingdom of Araluen. They must figure out a way to stop the attack from happening and risk their lives while doing so. I don't want to ruin the story for those who haven't read it yet, but let's just say the book is amazing and will leave you desperate to read book 3 to find out what happens. If you're a fan of this genre of writing you will LOVE Flanagan's ability to tell a story!

It's been a year since I read the first 5 books of this series, so I don't remember all the specifics, but what I can say is that the quality of writing holds through from 1-5. They are all suspenceful, exciting and simply wonderful. Of course I do archery and swordfighting and so on, so when I picked up the first book I instantly turned into a Ranger's apprentice junkie.
What I love is that even though it's written for teens/kids, it definately is appealing to adults as well. It is a very smooth, quick paced read and very hard to put down.

Hope it helps.
