Erak's Ransom - Book Review

This is another book in John Flanagan 's captivating Ranger Apprentice series. I read this novel while I was on holiday, and I finished the thick book within three days. Obviously, because I liked the book so much that I could not "un-stick" my eyes from the pages.
In this fantastic novel, it talks about Will, a Ranger's apprentice, in his final year of apprenticeship. A call for help by Svengal, the Skandian second-in-command, brings Will, his teacher Halt, his friends Horace and Gilan, as well as the Araluan princess Cassandra to the desert land of Arridi to secure the Skandian King, or Oberjarl's, freedom.
How did all these happen? It all started because Erak, the Oberjarl, felt bored and wanted to do some raiding in Arridi, so he went there by ship to raid the place. Unknown to him, he had been betrayed by one of his kin, so when Erak arrived with his men, they were ambushed and caught by the Arridi soldiers. Demanding a ransom, the Arridi people released only Svengal and the other men to gather a ransom in exchange for Erak's freedom.
Journeying through the perilous lands of Arridi, witness how Will and his friends finally rescue Erak and how Will earns his badge as a fully-fledged Ranger after his graduation.
