I just finished book #6 in the "Ranger's Apprentice" series. This book is titled, "The Siege of Macindaw" and wraps up the 2 part series formed by books 5 and 6.
"The Siege of Macindaw" picks up immediately following the end of "The Sorcerer of the North", and manages to round out the story nicely. Book #6 is slower than the others in the beginning, but picks up pace quickly after 120 or so pages. I'm very glad I stuck with it, as I ended up enjoying this story very much.
This story wraps up Will's first major trial as a Ranger. Assisted by his best friend Horace, who has managed to make quite a name for himself as a Knight of the Kingdom, Will has to free his friend Alyss from the clutches of the misguided Sir Keren of Macindaw, restore the rightful leader to Castle Macindaw and stop an invasion from the North. And, he has to do all this with 30 men. A very intriguing story with a really solid ending. If you've read the other 5 "Ranger's Apprentice" books and liked them, then I think you'll like "The Siege of Macindaw".
I'm already anxious for book #7, which is already released in Australia. Not sure when it will be out in the US.
