Brotherband (book 1)The brother band chronicles book one was a great action packed book that was about a Scandinavia training system were boys are put into groups called brotherbands. This book is action packed and written very well. The only thing I didn't like was it was very confusing when t...
I enjoyed it, and I'm reading the next book now. At least I will be when I finish writing this! Ride the waves on the wings of a Heron and learn the meaning of loyalty and courage!!!
When I found out about this book I was beyond excited. I got it on the day it came out and had read it before the next morning, barely. (stayed up until like 1.) I really love this book. It is one of my favorite books. I really like the new ranger and Will in this book, and I loved how the ending...
I recently read Ranger's Apprentice: Halt's Peril. This book is about Will, the Ranger every book in the series follows, and his ex- mentor Halt, along with their friend Horace, the knight. The heroes have stopped the cult known as the a Outsiders in nearby Hibernia. The power- hungry evil- doers...
Excellent crescendo to an excellent series. Bravo! Enjoyed this installment as much as the previous ones. Great series for boys,
Slaves of Socorro is about a group of young fearless sailors and warriors called Scandians. The join up with a royal defender in the neighbouring country. The country this man is from is called Araluen. Together they must free slaves held in a desert area called Socorro.A character I couldn't rel...
My review overall was good, but some here some facts that i don't like:Poor Tug. Why did Flanagan did this? I understand that age would prejudice horse physical, but that could wait until the end of the series, and could not have been cited in the books. And if that were not enough, he was also e...
I LOVED The Ranger's Apprentice series, saw the premise for this series, and thought, "Nah!" Oh goodness was I wrong! From the 1st book I was hooked. It's got everything that an adventure book needs: well written characters, an awesome plot, and enough left undiscovered to keep me hungering for t...
While at the annual Rangers' Gathering, Will is informed by Crowley that Halt will not be able to attend as he is investigating things in the west of the country. A mysterious group of people are going around, recruiting people and stealing gold in an unlikely fashion. Meanwhile, Halt is watchin...
I really do not think that this book should exist. The story was perfectly complete by book 11. I loved the whole idea of adding girls to the Ranger Corps, but I feel like this book kind of unravels a lot of what book 11 was meant to do - finish the story in a satisfactory way. With the addition ...
Will Treaty is now a senior Ranger. Halt has retired, Horace & Cassandra have a 15-year-old daughter Madelyn and Will's love - Courier Alyss, died 18 months earlier in a fire, saving a child. Will has become reclusive and set on vengeance. Meanwhile, Maddie is out of control. To solve both pr...
The rangers apprentice by John Flanagan was an interesting book about a young boy named will who wanted to join battle school but was declined by the crafts master and was chosen to join a group called the rangers his mentors name was halt he was an expert ranger and planned on teaching the ways ...
from the book: at the funeral : "should we say a few words?" "no Halt wasn't the wordy type" "maybe a time of silence?" "yes I would think that would work."Halt had been earlier hit with a arrow it had only nicked him in the arm from the genovasan's bolt but the genovesan had laced it with po...
The Emperor of Nihon-JaJohn FlanaganThis book is part of the Rangers Apprentice Series and is book number 9. This story starts off in the kingdom of Tuscana, where rangers Will and Halt watching an demonstration of Tuscan military techniques. Later on, the story travels to another kingdom called ...
It's totally official. I love these books. Love them with all my heart.This book, in my own humble opinion, is one of the best in the series! It brought back so many of the characters I have come to love in the series. Even after 10 books, the wit and skill of the writing is still there, and I lo...
Ranger's Apprentice "The Lost Stories" by John FlanaganIt's been a long time coming as I see I read the rest of the series in 2012 ... yet my son found it at the library & poof! I was taken RIGHT back into the great memories of these fascinating stories! While I wish I could piece these stories ...
I didn't enjoy this book as much as the rest of them. I am glad John to the time to answer the many lingering questions and to fill in the gaps. I also did not like the attempt of using a third person perspective with an archeologist and his apprentice digging up lost stories. I would much rather...
Best of the series so far" Review by C.M.: "Great book with knights, kings, Rangers, and fun. I like the story a lot."
I loved the entire series. Great series for kids... mine recommended to me, and I enjoyed the light, fast read.
I took a long break after having read the last book (the reason has nothing to do with the books themselves), and I'm glad I came back. I was physically smiling throughout the entire book (which is not something that I do)- I was enjoyed to see the return of many reference jokes from previous boo...
I have read the entire rangers apprentice series three times. I give the series, and each individual book, 5/5 stars.This book is about a young boy that lives in the time of castles, knights, ships, and swords, who aspires to be a knight apprentice. When the time comes for them to decide what he ...
I recommend you read the first four books in the series, but you can probably enjoy this book by itself. You may but understand some references to past people and events, but there's enough adventure to ensure your enjoyment. Ingvar is given a bigger role (no pun intended), and Hal's dog, Kloof, ...
I really can't add any more to what all the other reviewers wrote. I simply add my personal two thumbs way up. I love Flannagan's books--they make me feel like a kid again, daydreaming about finding a place on the Heron, or in the Rangers corp. But alas I am an old man, who can only dream.Anot...
****spoiler Alert**** There captured and might not even return but will they survive the terrible prison that awaits them.This is a adventure,action type of genre and man it's so good.I give this book a 5 out of five stars because it's so so good and you should read it. The setting takes pl...
Everyone has a friend or companion they feel very close to, and sometimes you see how your friendships get tested when you’re forced to make a decision to either help yourself, or stay with your friend. By the end of both books, “The Hobbit” and “Ranger’s Apprentice the Burning Bridge,” you see h...
As I've almost reached eighteen years of age I've tended to drift away from reading YA fiction. I read mostly classics or more adult fiction nowadays. And yet there are some series which are capable of bridging age gaps despite having been written for a younger audience. I believe the best storie...
