Review:
This series is perfect for everyone! It is categorized as a "fantasy" series, however these are not your typical fantasy books with magic and spells.
The Rangers are keepers of the peace in the kingdom. Rangers are "highly trained in the skills of battle and surveillance, they fight the battles before the battles reach the people." The main character, Will, has been chosen to become a Ranger's Apprentice and learn the ways of the Rangers. The entire series is about Will, his friends, and the experiences they face together. As a reader, you really enjoy each individual character. I was cheering for them the entire time I was reading!
John Flanagan is a brilliant author. The stories are unique and flow well. His writing is detailed yet concise. A perfect mix! (The only problem is that Flanagan lives in Australia, so it takes a while for his books to be released in the U.S.)
Read this series! Plus, book 8 is being released May 18th! So get reading! :) Like I wrote earlier, this series is a perfect read for anyone. They are fun, clean books!
***After reading these books, you may wish to become a Ranger. Do not feel embarrassed......It happens to the best of us! Haha!***
