Another great installment in the Royal Ranger series. Maddie's growth throughout the series reminds me of Will as he went through his training with Halt.

I am looking forward to reading Ambush at Sorato next. ( )

The beginning of this book is so sad, my heart broke for Will and all of his friends on their loss. I am hopeful that this isn't the end of that story and that future books will bring a surprise somehow but I will not hold my breath. I loved Maddy's story arc in this novel and the addition of female Rangers to the core.

Looking forward to the rest of the books in this series. ( )

Family

The Ranger's Apprentice series has been around a long time, and I highly recommend it to fans of adventure and action stories. The books are set in a sprawling world of kingdoms and forests and full of interesting characters, mystery, and adventure. The Royal Ranger is a spin-off series that caught my eye because it is about the first teenage girl to apprentice as a Ranger. It did not disappoint. It was fun, action-packed, and full of serious drama as well as humor. ( )

Absolutely loved everything about this book. Honestly, it was a nice refreshing story and I am happy to have read it. Maddie is a fantastic character and I love seeing her and Will grow. Of course, there is something I wish to curse about in this book, but that is too much of a spoiler as is. Trust me, if you've read the rest of the series you know what I'm talking about. I am excited to pick up the second book in this series! ( )
