In this final iteration of the twelve books in the Ranger’s Apprentice series, you get yet another
completely different experience as the timeline leaps forward roughly sixteen years. In this book,
you get a nasty shock as a gruesome twist turns Will into a grim, bearded ranger just as Halt had
once been. In this book, you get to see the new princess of Araluen, Maddie, turned from a brat
into the only bright spot Will has left in his life as his heart is blackened by a desire for revenge
In this eleventh iteration of the twelve books in the Ranger’s Apprentice series, you get a
completely different experience as you walk through a variety of short stories ranging back (get
it? Ranging? Hahaha!) to the time period of the third book to after the tenth. If I were to
summarize every story, we would be here for a very long time, so instead, I’ll just give you my
opinion on it. I think the idea behind the book is fun and truly fascinating. I especially enjoyed
In this tenth iteration of the twelve books in the Ranger’s Apprentice series, you get to
experience yet another amazing adventure into the far reaches of the world of the Ranger’s
Apprentice when you see a not-so-little-anymore little ranger (Will), a little, but older ranger
(Halt), a popular-but-not-Erak-popular pirate (Gundar), a knight (Horace), a princess (Evanlyn),
a politician (Alyss), and an old friend (Selethen) travel to the lands of Nihon-Ja. There, this
group of unexpected friends face off against a rebel warlord and come up with shady battle
In this ninth iteration of the twelve books in the Ranger’s Apprentice series, you are kept on the
edge of your seat, itching to see if assassins and later, Halt’s peril (see what I did there?) is just
around the corner or not. In this, you get suspense you have never gotten in any of the other
Ranger’s Apprentice books and you revisit a popular character from two of the previous books,
Malcolm the medieval drug dealer (healer, sorry). This book is for those who like to wait for
In this eighth iteration of the twelve books in the Ranger’s Apprentice series, the culmination of
the different and unique aspects of John Flanagan’s entertaining series comes together in a way
that makes it difficult for me to find anything sarcastic to say about it. Not that it was a result of
the lack of trying. In this book, you have the reconnection of the three most popular heroes of the
series including the two heroes that comprised the greatest power duo of all time: Halt and
In this seventh iteration of the twelve books in the Ranger’s Apprentice series, you get front-row
seating to the telling of a story that should have been told two books ago and the inspiration of
which most likely came from a small mark on Horace’s face. In this book, you are introduced to
the desert lands of Arrida and its exotic citizens such as Selethen who is really just Erak of the
desert if Erak was thin, lived in the desert, and was graceful. In this story, you get to see the final
In this sixth iteration of the twelve books in the Ranger’s Apprentice series, you’ll find yourself
on the edge of your seat yet again. But not because Will is about to attempt a foolish siege of a
castle with the help of a medieval drug dealer (sorry “healer”), some pirates who tried to rob him
a month earlier, and a friend whose sole purpose is to provide emotional support in the form of
enemy destruction, but rather the ups and downs of Will’s (unconfirmed) love life. This book is
In this fifth iteration of the twelve books in the Ranger’s Apprentice series, we get to see... more
Skandians! If you weren’t sure about this book at first, I bet you are now because it contains the
only other thing keeping you reading this series past the first book besides Will’s horse. I’m
joking of course: everyone knows that it's Will’s musical ability that keeps us reading! But in all
seriousness, with more intrigue than we have ever seen in a Ranger Apprentice book with... one
In this fourth iteration of the twelve books in the Ranger’s Apprentice series, you get to see the
future greatness of the series begin to unfold. Princess, former Ranger, former Knight, little
Ranger, and popular pirate coming together to fight a battle together (if this sounds like a disaster
waiting to happen, you’d be... wrong). In this book you get a flash back into Halt and ranger
history as the dynamic group form an unholy alliance against the Temujai (I caught what you did
In this third iteration of the twelve books in the Ranger’s Apprentice series, we get to see the
formation of the greatest power duo that the literary world may have ever been faced with:
Horace and Halt. This book is an interesting new style from the author where it switches back
from a princess and a ranger stuck in slavery (their names are Will and Evanlyn: I hope you can
tell which one is the princess) and a prince stuck with a former battleschool student (just kidding,
