This took me longer than the others to read I think because not only A) I had multiple assignments due but B) because I didn't find it as gripping as previous instalments. Quite frankly, it's almost on par with "The Icebound Land" as being one of my least favourite in the series. Oh well. Only time will tell if any of the future instalments changes my feelings towards "The Siege of Macindaw". My favourite part was probably all the Horace and Will banter. I cried when Will gave Shadow up (I think I do it every time) and I still managed to wince after reading Keren's death (in Classic Disney villain style - from falling). I got a little chuffed when Halt told Will he was proud of him and when Will raced off at the end to see Alyss.
