The Icebound Land: Book 3 in the Ranger’s Apprentice Series
I have to say that I am continually impressed with the storytelling of John Flanagan. Flanagan, an Australian author who has become famous in America for his Ranger’s Apprentice series, seems to get better with each book he writes. The third book in his fantasy epic, “The Icebound Land,” …
