Genre: Dark Fantasy/ Adventure
After finishing Dracula for my book report, I have recently been reading The Ranger's Apprentice: Ruins of Gorlan. The main character in this novel is Will. The setting is in a fictional universe that seem to be a dark medieval fantasy type setting. Will's parents abandoned him at a very young age. Will now lives in an orphanage where they later send the orphans off to a special guild, depending on their talents and skills. Unfortunately, Will has no special hobby or skills and it is about time that the picking day will happen, where the orphans will be picked by different guilds, or no guilds at all. Will is really nervous about the picking day because he knows that he does not have any special skills or talents. When the day comes, he is relieved and surprised that he does indeed get picked by the guild, the Ranger's guild. But what he has heard from stories is that Rangers are dark and mysterious people, even thought as evil to some people. He was worried and curious at the same time about this master ranger that has picked him for the ranger's guild. After he meets the master and starts living there for several days, he does not like him because he makes Will do a lot of random house work such as cleaning dishes and sweeping the floor. Will soon learns about Morgarath, the dark lord who is trying to take over the world. He soon learns that it is his duty to save the world from the dark lord.
I have barely started reading this book (around 11% on the kindle), but so far it has really captured my attention. The author's use of words in order to describe events and settings, really impresses me. The author also makes the character's personalities and traits seem very like like/realistic, making you care about them more. I have found it hard for me to put this book down because the authors use of transitions and cliffhangers makes you want to read and read on.
