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,

In this second iteration of the twelve books in the Ranger’s Apprentice series, we revisit our

beloved character Will. Now marked with fame by his contest against the Kalkara and his rescue

of his even more famous master Halt, he is sent on a mission in preparation for war against the

exiled lord Morgarath. But this falls to pieces when Will, accompanied by Halt’s former

apprentice Gilan and his friend Horace, finds the neighboring lands of Celtica deserted, a lost girl

In this first iteration of the twelve books in the Ranger’s Apprentice series, a boy named Will

become-though this may come as a surprise to some people-a ranger’s apprentice. Will, a

scrawny fifteen-year-old boy finds himself learning the ways of rangers after being taken in by

the famous and rather grim ranger Halt after being rejected from battle school, the one thing he

had always wanted in life. This is a result of believing that his father had died as a knight and

The precursor to a film of the same name, The Princess Bride is a story

about a story - a fairy tale told to a young boy by his father. Of course,

not without lots of editing to ensure that only the good parts are left

in. The reader is left with a tale of swordplay, true love, evil men,

escape from death, and plenty of humor. The story starts with a young

bride whisked away by assassins that plan to kill her and pin her death on

Mal and Alina are orphans who grow up in military service. They are great

friends but then a military conflict happens and Alina is drafted by a

mysterious figure called the Darkling to be a Grisha. Alina is learning what

it means to be a Grisha while the Darkling takes a special interest in her

because she has the powers of a sun summoner which have been gone for

centuries. She has to run from the palace though when Baghra reveals the

Darkling’s true colors and reveals that he intends to bind Alina with a
