Adventurer's Wanted, Book 2: The Horn of Moran

What a fun and awesome adventure! Could not put this book down. I am so looking forward to picking up the next one!

My 9 year old son really enjoys these adventure books. They keep him entertained and he can't wait to finish the series.

The further adventures of Alex Taylor and friends. Alex is progressing as a wizard. It is well written. Alex is a generous and kind young man with a definite sense of what is just.

I liked this book; it's a 4-star for the same reasons #1 had - the author takes some shortcuts that are a bit jarring (25 pages of the first two days of the journey, 2 paragraphs to cover the next three months) - OK, a bit of an exaggeration.Some new characters, a new adventure; more fun with magic adventurer's bags. A little heavy handed on the life lessons, but good ones nonetheless - honor is important; do the right thing; don't bully others just because you can.I don't agree that it is better than the first book, but it is at least as good. My 9-year-old still thinks this is the greatest series of all time, so who am I to argue with that? Still a great read for kids, decent enough for us old folks.I would like to know a little bit more on the great evil, and Alex's father and some of those adventures, and the Order. I guess that's why we are going to get the next one!

I liked the originality in the storyline better in this one than the first book. I am definitely planning on continuing with this series. They are a fairly easy read, but include well paced adventure story. I enjoyed the addition of the pen pal mentor relationship that Alex forms with another wizard in this book. I added a layer to Alex in showing that he has uncertainties and that he needs outside help on occasion. As much as I enjoyed the first book, I sometimes felt that Alex always had the answer, or could instinctively solve the problem. And, if he couldn't someone in his immediate party could. I felt that this book took a good step away from that.

I was eagerly awaiting the second book in the Adventurer's Wanted Series and needless to say it was worth the wait. The story was well told and even filled in some of the gaps about some of the characters that were in the first adventure but not in this one. It was another story with good character development. You can't help but cheer for Alex as he continues to grow during these adventures. I would like to see him face some real adversity and see how he handles it and continues to grow, but that is just my personal opinion. The book is an enjoyable read for the kid in all of us and reminds us how good it feels to do the right thing. Now I am eagerly awaiting the 3rd book--just please make it sooner versus later.

The book was great and I can't wait to read the rest in the series. I have to say I felt a lack of female characters. All of the adventurers were men and of course there was Skeld and Tayo's wives but they weren't a big part of the story. Tara also had a small part. I was longing for a strong female character.

I enjoy reading books that I just can't put down. I am a fan of the Inheritance Trilogy and the Harry Potter Series and I loved reaing these first two books. The author keeps the pace moving and has really good insight into what Alex is thinking and feeling, which makes you want to keep going to see where it all will lead. I am excited to read about new adventures and lessons that Alex will learn, and the wonderful new creatures and lands he will see. I enjoy the authors ability to let me visualize what is happening without overdoing the details. Definately worth the money and can not wait until the next adventure!

The kid is way too accepting with all that goes on. His reactions, or lack thereof, are just not at all appropriate. Also, his character progresses way too quickly, and so does his speech.I dont know, it just wasnt that good. 3rd book is worse...

I love this series, it is a must read for Harry Potter fans. It has trolls, elves, dwarfs, a wizard, goblins, etc. what else do you need?

It was as enjoyable as the first book! Can't wait to read the third! This is a good change of ftom dark fantasy.
