Siege of Macindaw picks off right where the previous book left off. As the title implies, it primarily involves an attack on a castle. Will has teamed up with a motley crew of vikings and forest outcasts, along with the rightful heir to the thrown. They must help rescue Alice and save the kingdom from what could be a permanent war from the north. There are plenty of times when the heroes are saved barely in the nick of time. However, the stressful situations usually play themselves out quickly, leaving us rapidly with the happy outcomes we desire. The characters always seem to know exactly what to do, and the good guys almost always win. The young love aspect also gets played up. Will has no problem taking a castle, but dealing with a girl he likes proves to be very difficult.
