John Flanagan does not fail to thrill in this latest installment of the Brotherband Chronicles!
Fresh from their latest adventure, the Heron Brotherband is thrown into an even more thrilling adventure. Lost in a freak storm, they are driven far over the Endless Sea to a land now too dissimilar to the New World. They make new friends, fall in love, interact with a unique culture, and forge a bond with the people of the land by helping them fight and defeat their enemies, the Ghostfaces.
Once again, Hal shows his quick thinking and wonderful sailing ability; Thorn displays his usual courage and discipline; Stig falls in love; Jesper reminds us of his...ahem...'unique' skills, Lydia, Ulf, Wulf, Ingvar, and Stefan do what they know how to do best.
It's a fast-paced story with no boring bits. The author cuts straight to the point without unnecessary embellishment. The characters are well-fleshed out, unique, and have original personalities that interact excitingly, leaving you keen to know about their latest adventure.
Despite being out of my teens, I still enjoy John Flanagan's Brotherband Chronicles. I couldn't have enjoyed The Ghostfaces more, even if the books came out when I was younger.
I eagerly await the next book in the series.
