You might have read about the defeat of Morgorath, and how Halt, Will, Horace, and Evalyn fought in the battle for Skandia, and of their adventures deep in the Arridi desert.

The final book in the Ranger’s Apprentice series answer many questions.

Like, what happened to Gilan when Halt and Horace went off in search of Will and Evalyn.

What was Horace and Evalyn’s wedding like? Did Will and Alyss ever get married?

If you enjoyed the other books in theRanger’s Apprentice series then you won’t want to miss out on this exciting book, The Lost Stories.

An important note about this series!

Ranger’s Apprentice – Book Seven – Review

June 3, 2019 by Jazzy

Erak’s Ransom is the exciting seventh book in theRanger’s Apprentice series. This book, while written later, is actually placed before book five in the timeline of events.

In Erak’s Ransom, Oberjarl Erak restless and tired of staying out of action decides to go on one last raid.

But things take a terrible turn for the worse when Erak and his men are caught by Selethen, the Wakir of Al Shabah.

It is up to Will and his friends to ransom Erak before it is too late.

Note: There is a prequel series named “Ranger’s Apprentice; The Early Years,” a spin-off series known as “BrotherBand Chronicles,” and a sequel series called “Ranger’s Apprentice; The Royal Ranger.”

Summary of Erak’s Ransom

Erak, Oberjarl of Skandia, who is missing the action of the old days, decides to go on one last raid.

Things are going fine until they are surrounded by Selethen, the Wakir of Al Shabah.

Selethen releases Erak’s men but decides to hold Erak for ransom.

But not every one wants Erak as Oberjarl.

If they were to find out that Erak is being held for ransom they may just elect someone else to be Oberjarl, leaving Erak right where he is.

Erak, knowing this, sends Svengal, second in command of the Wolfwind, to Araluen instead.

Though King Duncan is happy to pay the ransom he cannot come and help right away.

But Princess Cassandra, also known as Evalyn, is happy to go in his place.

Together with Halt, Will, Horace, and Gilan she travels to Al Shabah in Arridi to free Erak.

Once there, they begin to negotiate for his release. They reach a set back when they find out that Selethen has sent Erak to a fortress in Mararoc.

They set off to get Erak with Selethen and his men.

As they are traveling, they get caught in a terrible sandstorm. Tug, Will’s beloved horse, is lost.

Will, devastated with the loss of Tug, sets off to find him in the unforgiving desert.

Will promises to catch up with the others once he finds Tug.

But in a terrible turn of events, Will gets lost in the desert and is found by the Bedullin nearly dead.

Meanwhile, Halt and the others travel on, only to discover the remains of the trading party that had been taking Erak to Mararoc.

The caravan has been completely massacred by the Tualaghi. The Tualaghi are a remote tribe that have caused Selethen a lot of trouble in recent years.

The Tualaghi are highly skilled warriors.

They raid and then disappear into the desert. Selethen without a skilled tracker has absolutely no chance of retaliating.

Among all of the carnage there is no sign of Erak.

But with Halt and Gilan with him, Selethen and the others are able to track down the Tualaghi.

They are are determined to find the Tualaghi and rescue Erak.

They pursue the Tualaghi being careful not to reveal themselves.

However, they quickly find themselves at the mercy of the Tualaghi

Will they ever get free?

Will Erak ever see his beloved Skandia again? And what about Will? Will he ever see Halt again?

Find out in this exciting book, Erak’s Ransom.

Things I Like about Erak’s Ransom

I really like when Evalyn is negotiating with Selethen about Erak’s ransom. (No pun intended!)

I also like the sarcastic humor and teasing that happens through-out the book.

In fact, there isn’t a singular book in this series that comes to mind, that doesn’t have some sort of joke or teasing in it.

It is probably one of my favorite things about his books. I also like the action and adventure.

Ranger’s Apprentice – Book Six – Review

May 29, 2019 by Jazzy

If you enjoy a book with excitement, daring exploits, and heroic heroes, then you will love The Siege of Macindaw.

Will starts to put together an army, determined to save Alyss and Castle Macindaw.

But how can he put together an army when most of Castle Macindaw’s loyal guards have left the area.

The answer comes in the form of a Skandian captian who goes by the name of Gunder Hardstriker. Gunder and his men were shipwrecked.

Stranded and with two men dead, they have no way of getting home. Things have never looked so bleak.

Until, to Gunder’s surprise and delight, Will Treaty shows up. Will needs his help.

In The Sorcerer of the North, Halt and Crowley worried that Will might need help. They decided to send Horace to Will.

Reunited, the two friends are delighted to see each other again.

Will is relieved to have some one on his side who knows a bit more about how to take a castle.

Together, with the help of Malcolm, they find a way to rescue Alyss and to regain the Castle.

But how can they take over a castle with only twenty-seven men?

They must find a solution and quickly before the Scotti come take over Castle Macindaw and from there all of Norgate Fief.

I like The Siege of Macindaw because it has a lot of what I want in a medieval type book: adventure, good characters, good versus evil, and an underdog.

Ranger’s Apprentice – Book Five – Review

May 28, 2019 by Jazzy

In this awesome book, The Sorcerer of the North, comes adventure, suspense, and excitement.

Will, now an official Ranger, is assigned to his first fief. He quickly becomes busy getting familiar with his new home.

But just as he is beginning to settle in, Alyss, a childhood friend of his, arrives on a surprising visit.

She comes with word from Halt and Crowley, the Corps Commandant of the rangers. Will is needed for a top secret mission.

Will meets up with Halt and Crowley at the Gathering Ground. There he is told what his mission is.

Castle Macindaw is Araluen’s main defense against the Scotti but word has come that Lord Syron, commander of Castle Macindaw, has fallen deadly ill.

To further complicate things, rumors have been spread about a sorcerer in Grimsdell Wood.

In order to complete this mission, Will must go undercover. He is told that once he gets there he will meet his contact.

Once he arrives, he is surprised that his contact is none other than Alyss.

Will and Alyss search the forest, looking for something that might give them a clue to what is going on.

The more Will searches for answers, the more curious he becomes.

Who is behind all the strange appearances and mysterious lights?

Just as he is getting closer to the truth, a drastic turn of events happen.

Castle Macindaw is taken over. Will escapes to the forest. Alyss is held captive, locked away in the tower cell.

The safety of Norgate Fief is put in jeopardy with the loss of Castle Macindaw.

Can Will save Castle Macindaw? Will he be able to rescue Alyss before it is all to late?

I like The Sorcerer of the North because it is funny and exciting.

I like the mystery and suspense of Will’s search for the person behind the lights and other weird things that happen.

I also like the romance that is in The Sorcerer of the North.

Ranger’s Apprentice – Book Four – Review

May 24, 2019 by Jazzy

In The Icebound Land, Evalyn, with the help of Erak, escaped with Will to a cabin in the woods.

Now their story continues in this epic book, The Battle for Skandia.

In an amazing turn of events, Will and Evalyn are once again reunited with Halt and Horace.

But while they are overjoyed at being reunited, trouble is brewing.

The Temujai are planning to raid Skandia and from there, Araluen.

With thousands of fighting men at their disposal, the Temujai are a force to be reckoned with. Skandia doesn’t stand a chance against the Temujai.

They need someone who knows how to fight the Temujai, someone who knows their weaknesses.

Only one man in all of Skandia could possibly know all of that. Only one man could have the cleverness and skill to help them……..Halt.

Halt agrees to help them knowing that the Temujai plan to hit Araluen next if Skandia falls.

Halt, Will, Horace, and Evalyn work with Erak and Ragnak, the Oberjarl* of Skandia, to fend off the Temujai and to save Skandia.

I like The Battle for Skandia because it has adventure and excitement.

I am a huge fan of books with vikings, humor, and awesome hero warriors.

*An Oberjarl is the chief, in this case Ragnak is the chief of all of Skandia

Ranger’s Apprentice – Book Three – Review

May 24, 2019 by Jazzy

In book two of the Ranger’s Apprentice series, Will, Horace, and Evalyn go on an exciting adventure to help save Araluen. Now the adventure continues in this exciting book The Icebound Land.

In a desperate attempt to save King Duncan’s army from being destroyed, Will and Evalyn are kidnapped by Skandians. Now they are as far away from home as ever.

As prisoners of war, they are destined to be slaves for the rest of their lives unless they can find a way to escape.

Their captor is Erak, captain of the Wolfwind. Erak, though sympathetic to their cause, is determined to sell them.

He respects both Will and Evalyn for their courage and bravery and while he is still determined to sell them, he will do his best to make sure they get a good home.

Meanwhile back at Araluen, Halt is desperate to find Will and Evanlyn. Forbidden to leave in search of them, Halt does the only thing that comes to mind.

Once banished from Araluen, Halt is finally free to find his young apprentice.

But as Halt is traveling in search of Will and Evalyn he gains an unexpected companion. Together they continue on their quest.

As Halt and his companion get closer, things get continually worse for Will and Evanlyn.

Separated, Evalyn is forced to work in the kitchen in the Great Hall while Will is sent to work in the yard.

Exhausted and freezing cold, Will numbly works on the tasks assigned to him.

But when he is tricked into taking warmweed, an addictive drug that enslaves those who take it, he is stretched near to the breaking point.

Will Halt and his companion reach Will and Evalyn in time?

I liked The Icebound Land because it was full of adventure. I liked how Will and Evanlyn continued to work together and help each other even when things got rough.

The Burning Bridge is the second book in this exciting, adventure filled series.

The king and the rangers gather the army and information to aid them in the war. But, Halt has decided that Will needs some time with people his own age.

The perfect opportunity just arrived. Gilan, tasked with forming an embassy to Celtica, is glad to have Will along.

Things get even better when it is decided that Horace will join them too.

As Will, Horace, and Gilan travel deeper into Celtica it isn’t long before they realize that something is drastically wrong. Everywhere they visit is completely deserted.

They meet a young girl who claims that Wargals have been invading Celtica.

The few that escaped, went to the Southwest Peninsula where it is being defended by King Swyddned.

With King Swyddned’s army busy defending themselves they are unable to help King Duncan in his battle for Araluen.

Gilan decides to ride on ahead to warn King Duncan of this new turn of events.

Will, Horace, and the young girl, Evanlyn, travel back to Araluen. They unexpectedly run into a group of Wargals while they are escorting Celtica miner prisoners.

But why would Morgarath need Celtica miners as prisoners, and where are the Wargals taking them?

Don’t miss out on this next exciting adventure by John Flanagan, The Burning Bridge.

I really like how John Flanagan writes books full of action and excitement. I also enjoy reading the funny dialogue between his characters.
