Nobody's Princess is a great historical fiction story about Helen of Troy. It does not support history but tells a mythological fiction story about her based on what we know. This was such a great girls disguised as boys themed book. I am looking forward to reading the sequel about our main woman of steel Helen. It is a very good book but it drops off at the end so you need the sequel about Helen's adventures in the Mediterranean Region.

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
