The Burning Bridge by John Flanagan Bk 2 262 pages
Summary: Bracing for a final clash with the evil warlord Morgarath, the Rangers rally the kingdom's allies, and Will is chosen, along with his friend Horace, as special envoys to nearby Celtica. But the simple mission soon takes an unsettling turn - the Celticans have disappeared, their town abandoned. The scheming hand of Morgarath, it seems, has been far from idle. He has found a way to bring his legions over the once impassible eastern mountains and is planning to ambush the king's army in a rout. Now with help many miles away, Will and Horace are the only ones standing in the way of the dark lord's plans. They have shown great skill and courage in their training, but how will they fare in the face of true evil?
My Thoughts: Book 2 is just as engaging as book one was! I love how they are still dealing with Morgarath like they were in Book 1. The continuation of the story was interesting. The battle towards the end of book two, complete twist and pretty hard-core! Again it is a fantasy world, but there's no magic which you don't usually see NOT in a fantasy novel.
