Fantasy

Once again, a banger of a book. I’m genuinely flying through every single one of these books on my reread of them, and although the part about zavac is done, which I enjoyed, I am looking forward to what is to come. There’s a certain type if humour in these books that is so lighthearted and sarcastic that it really makes me laugh, it’s totally my type of humour haha. So glad I’m rereading this series and another reread will probably come again in the future. ( )

Another fun romp from John Flanagan, following Hal, Stig, Thorn, and the gang of the Herons. I love the fun banter between the Heron crew, as well as that between Erak and Svengal, when we get to see them. ( )

I love the saga that is at the end of this book! It is just a fun tale all together! Again, I wish that there were more strong female characters in the book, but I enjoyed reading this and cannot wait to pick up the next one. ( )

Hal and the Heron brotherband continue their relentless pursuit of Zavac and his fellow pirates aboard the Ravem, to recover the precious Andomal relic belonging to their Skandian tribe. They have been joined by Lydia, who helped them chase these pirates out of Limmat and helps them escape jail when they are captured following Zavac down the Dan River. Using subterfuge devised by Hal, the crew gains entry into the pirate fortress city of Raguza. Preying on the city chieftan's dislike for Zavac, Hal challenges Zavac to a duel ... by ships. Flanagan has a talent for character development, interpersonal relations, and leadership by example. ( )
