The Siege of Mackindaw by John Flanagan (Ranger's Apprentice - Book 6)

Hello! Welcome back to another review. Today I am reviewing Ranger's Apprentice Book 6 :: The Siege of Mackindaw by John Flanagan. Please read my reviews for books 1 thru 5 so this can make more sense. 

Read my reviews of book 1book 2book 3; book 4; and book 5

We all start with Will and John Buttle. John Buttle escapes from captivity from the Skandians. Will is disappointed and asks his friends to help him with Castle Mackindaw. They agree and so they set out. Meanwhile, Horace starts to arrive at Castle Mackindaw after he is sent to help. He meets John Buttle there who is now working for Sir Keren. Buttle gives Horace a job but Horace luckily declines. Horace finally meets up with Will and they have some coffee and check up on the recent happenings. Then Will introduces Horace to Malcolm (the so-called sorcerer) in Grimsdell Woods. 

Alyss is still imprisoned though and manages to send special messages to Will using a special code system only known by Couriers and Ranger Corps members. Will tells Malcolm about Sir Keren secret stone that hypothesis people to tell nothing but the truth. Alyss is able to get a stone from Malcolm and when she touches it and imagines Will (I don't know why), she can reverse the powers. She finds out the Scotti and Picta (two fiefs that are not good) have joined with Sir Keren and that they will be coming soon. 

So I'll leave it there.... Will Alyss ever be free? Will they stop the Scotti and Picta from ruining Mackindaw? Read the book find out more. Thanks for reading this review and I hope you consider reading the series.
