The Story Continues...More fun story, more lame writing. It's driving my crazy how much these characters can read into a small nod of the head or a gleam in someone's eye. But I'm a sucker for a good story, so on to book four!
There are some major spoilers here for the first two books in the Ranger's Apprentice series! Will and Evelyn are abducted to Skandia and sold as slaves, as Halt is forced to leave the Rangers and teams up with Horace in order to find Will and bring him back to safety, while also fighting their ow...
Full review found on Tales Between the PagesAs always, I’m a big Evanlyn fan. Her character and strength are so powerful, making this series accessible to both boys and girls.

They get otherwise in everything else.I find myself wanting to read this author in a more adult forum. I would like these b...
It ended in an excellent way. There was no dry spot in this book or in any of the Ranger's Apprentice books before. Although Will was pratically absent the whole book it was done perfectly.
