Hey, guys! Whether I should be reading this prequel series to Ranger's Apprentice is up for debate; however, I know I am definitely enjoying it. After reading The Tournament at Gorlan, I was ready for the next book in this series.

The Cover:
It shows a monster reaching for the crown, as Morgarath pitches his attempt to claim the throne and the kingdom from King Duncan. B cover.
Official Description:
The peace in Araluen is under threat and newly crowned King Duncan must prepare for war. Morgarath is in hiding, recruiting an army of savage beasts known as Wargals for his next attack.
Halt prepares for a seemingly impossible task – to scale the Mountains of Rain and Night to spy on the enemy and uncover their plans.
He knows that one wrong move could be deadly, for at the Battle of Hackham Heath the fate of a kingdom will be decided.
My Review:
The Battle of Hackham Heath was an exciting book. Most of the book was spent on various battles that the Rangers and kingdom fight against Morgarath who is now equipped with some deadly allies, the Wargals. By controlling the Wargals with mind control, Morgarath can set these beasts on the kingdom as he seeks revenge and power.
The plot is very fast-paced as the characters plan and then execute various battle strategies and tactics. It was most similar to Battle of Skandia in its story.
The characters were as great as ever. Halt and Crowley were lovable as always, with dry senses of humor as well as a lack of regard for other's opinions of themselves. Their relationship is one of the highlights of this prequel series.
Overall, I really enjoyed reading The Battle of Hackham Heath. It wasn't the best Ranger's Apprentice book, but I enjoyed it all the same. I believe this prequel series is supposed to be a trilogy, but I'm not sure how that will work. The ending of this book felt like closure enough! Either way, I know that I will be reading it.
