I recommend you read the first four books in the series, but you can probably enjoy this book by itself. You may but understand some references to past people and events, but there's enough adventure to ensure your enjoyment. Ingvar is given a bigger role (no pun intended), and Hal's dog, Kloof, always seems to pop up when she's most needed (although Erak might disagree!). Warning, a member of the small crew is seriously injured during one of the battles, and it changes the mood of the Heron. This plot offers more action than some of the other books in the series; there are a couple of major battles, and several smaller ones. The author still provides much humor through character interactions, and Hal continues to come up with amazing plans and inventions to help the characters get out of tough situations. I simply love any and all of John Flanagan's books! The spirit of unity and friendship abounds in all of his works! In this Brotherband story, the Herons are tasked to help Ranger Gilan remove a bounty that has been placed on Princess Cassandra. The mixture of characters from the Ranger's Apprentice series and the Brotherband series makes this book well-worth the read. I just wish that Will Treaty could have been in this book! Keep them coming, John Flanagan!

I love the Brotherband series! Also, know that I rarely give 5 stars.
