Mixed feelings about Erak's Ransom. The book itself is fast-paced and enthralling, but the real life parallels of Arab, Bedouin and Tuareg people make me uncomfortable. I'd have liked a less of the barbarian stereotype concerning "exotic" cultures.
I loved the characters and plot and interactions, but it's a little hard to overlook these issues.

"But what if I make a mistake?"
Gilan threw back his head and laughed. "A mistake? One mistake? You should be so lucky. You'll make dozens! I made four or five on my first day alone! Of course you'll make mistakes. Just don't make any of them twice. If you do mess things up, don't try to hide it. Don't try to rationalize it. Recognize it and admit it and learn from it. We never stop learning, none of us does."
-Erak's Ransom by John Flanagan
Who else has a Gilan in his mind who's screwing up the most ridiculous things?

underrated scenes from erak’s ransom
- Svengal straight up crashing Halt and Pauline’s wedding
- this hard ass quote from Baron Arald (paraphrase): “if you only value my opinion when you agree with it, then you don’t value my opinion at all” BARS
- the fact that the Wolfwind kept Cassandra’s pennant this entire time
- Halt making fun of Svengal for being unable to sit a horse. Svengal making fun of halt for his seasickness and offering him a meal
- Halt getting back at Svengal by chugging his favorite, very rare, very expensive mead
- Evanlyn seeing straight through Selethen’s bluff of having someone else pretend to be the Wakir. (the hero of this book was Evanlyn and you cannot tell me otherwise)
- [Gilan talking to Halt about Will] "would you trust him with your life?” “without question.” “then trust him with his own.”
- Arrow being killed by a desert lion and in turn saving Will’s life by attracting the attention of the bedouin
- Will killing a sand cobra with an arrow and saving Umal’s grandchild
- the Tug vs. Sandstorm race
- not an underrated scene, per se, but in my opinion Yusal’s absolute cruelty (leaving two water skins for forty men in the desert) makes him one of the evilest villains of the Flanagan universe
- slightly related, Aloom’s entire character is underrated for keeping forty men alive on said water
- Halt refusing to give up hope after being captured by the Tualaghi because Will’s still out there somewhere
- Evanlyn standing unflinching as the executioner swings his sword at her, and the crowd calling for her release
- Will shooting the executioner a split second before the downstroke begins
- Horace holding up his bound hands and shouting for Will, and Will splits the rope by shooting an arrow between his wrists
- Erak killing Toshak in battle and returning his sword to him so his spirit won’t wander
- Evanlyn hitting Yusal with his sling and ending all effective resistance from the Tualaghi
- Evanlyn ripping Selethen to shreds in subsequent ransom negotiations by pointing out that Erak isn’t his hostage, he was Yusal’s; Halt subsequently saying “my god, I’ve created a monster”
- Will’s graduation scene

So, @iwanttobepheonix just got to the part in book 7 where Will goes out after Tug, and I was reading over her shoulder, and,,,,,
The parallels????????
Halt stood watching as his son left. He was barely forced to leave and keep up with the rest of the group. This man knows Will could, and very well might, die. And he might not be able to save him. He is on the verge of having a panic attack istg

Halt: We call that a traumatic event.
Halt, to Horace: Not a 'bro moment.'
Halt, to Will: Not a 'major L.'
Halt, to Cassandra: And not an 'oof lmao.'

Ranger's Apprentice fans I have few question?
Help me out with your thoughts, I'm gonna need this for my writing.
What do you think Lady Pauline's personality is like?
Calm and collected? does she seek out vengeances, or do you think she believes Revenge is a fool's game? What do you think she will react to terrible news and such?
Thank you in Advanced,

So I read through book 7 of the rangers apprentice "Erak's Ransom"
I didn't take notes while reading it this time, since it slows me down and I wanted to finish before I went back to school. It was really very good
It's set before Will becomes a full ranger and yet Flanagan still held a sense of danger and mystery. Even though I knew Will survived I was still on the edge of my seat!
Of course I love the Cassandra perspective, and her chekov's sling
It was so well written, I do love the rangers apprentice books

Why have I not seen LITERALLY ANYONE talk about how in Erak’s Ransom, when Will saves the group, Horace yells “Will!!” And holds up his tied hands AND WILL SHOOTS IT AND FREES HIM??? LIKE THAT WAS SO COOL WHY DO WE NEVER TALK ABOUT THAT????? The fact that, number one, Horace knew Will was skilled enough to do it, number two, Horace TRUSTED Will not to shoot his hand, number three, Will understood what Horace wanted him to do, and finally, the fact that WILL WAS ABLE TO DO IT IN THE FIRST PLACE?? Now obviously rangers are very trained and blah blah blah but THATS STILL BADASS????
#rangers apprentice#john flanagan#will treaty#halt o'carrick#ranger's apprentice#horace altman#books#go bad bitch go bad bitch go#that entire book had me panicking btw#the rangers apprentice has taken over my life it’s a problem someone help me#Horace and will’s friendship means so much to me I don’t think you understand#they compliment each other so well???#Horace balances Will out and will balances out Horace#erak starfollower#this is why I need a show or movie that would look so cool
