Rangers Apprentice: Ruins of Gorlan

This is the firs book in the Ranger's Apprentice series by John Flanagan. It follows Will, an orphan who believed his father was a knight. because of this, he had always wanted to become a knight, but everyone had said he was too scrawny. When the day came to become an apprentice, Halt the Ranger took him on. Will begins to like being Halt's apprentice, and after 7 months that are going to the gathering when they realise that Morgorath (The main villain) was using ape-like beasts called Kalkaras (Which are very dangerous - it took 3 knights to kill ONE) to get revenge on the commanders that overpowered him.
I think this book is an outstanding story, and I love how Flanagan developes the characters, and creates a unique story. I would recommend it to anyone who wanted to read a fantasy-war story (like The Lord of the Rings, which was the first)
