Sizzilin' Summary:
War is on the horizon. The King sends a party to a nearby to get help from a neighboring kingdom. This party includes Will, Horace, and Gilan. But they soon discovered that most of their neighboring kingdom is deserted... Morgarath has taken the miners captive, and killed the rest, or driven them to a city that's now trapped. The squad also picks up a girl named Evanlyn.
But after Gilan goes ahead to tell the king, the teenage trio soon find out a secret: a bridge crossing a previously uncrossable canyon. This problem could win the war for Morgarath, so Will decides to burn the bridge.
But even if he does, there may be no escape from capture. Then more problems arise. Gilan finds out that Evanlyn is secretly the king's daughter! Morgarath plans a trap for the King's army. And then Horace faces the biggest challenge of his life...

Rockin' Review:
This one was written much like the first. I also really liked this one. Flanagan also does a better job telling us who's eyes we were looking through in each part of the book. Good job, Flanagan!
The book ends on a bad note, but it has a promise attached to it. That wasn't great... but almost perfect for a series! In fact, I was lucky I had the third book. It clawed my heart so much, and I so wanted to find out what happened to the main characters, I immediately started reading the next book. Though it would have been bad any other time, this time putting that bad note in was almost perfect! That was impressive.
I liked this book. It's rockin'!!! But I also suggest getting the next book before reading this one, so the yearning for finding out what happens doesn't overload your mind!
