Slaves of Socorro

From Goodreads:    Hal and his fellow Herons have returned home to Skandia after defeating the pirate captain Zavac and reclaiming Skandia's most prized artifact, the Andomal. With their honor restored, the Herons turn to a new mission: tracking down an old rival turned bitter enemy. Tursgud—leader of the Shark Brotherband and Hal's constant opponent—has turned from a bullying youth into a pirate and slave trader. After Tursgud captures twelve Araluen villagers to sell as slaves, the Heron crew sails into action . . . with the help of one of Araluen's finest Rangers!

In this fourth book in the Brotherband Chronicles, a new battle unfolds as old rivalries are renewed, peace treaties are put to the test, and the action builds to a pulse-pounding finale.

My Thoughts:

-    This was another fun and adventurous journey! I loved it! 

-    I was super excited for the Herons to go to Araluen, and I was doubly excited when a familiar face entered the story. 

-    I always felt that the rivalry with Tursgurd was left unfinsihed, but this book definitely fixed that. It was a fun chase and I got the closure I wanted. 

-    I love that each member of the brotherband add their own unique talent and skill to the story. The friendship and loyalty are amazing, and I'm always amazed at the trust the crew has.

-    Ingvar really shined in this story. I can't help but love his gentle ferocity. 

-    Kloof is awesome! I love that Hal found a giant furry dog! 

-    The author's humor is perfect! I often laugh out loud, or get a case of the giggles during the bantering between characters.

-    I hope I get to see more familiar characters in the next book!
