great
this series of books is really great it is one of the best written early teen books i have ever read. although it is not straight up fighting all the way. even the slower parts are exciting and entertaining. john flanagan is one heck of an author.
Ranger's Apprentice series
I struggled through the first few pages of the Ranger's Apprentice Book 1, but then I was caught up in the story. My seventh grade students-reluctant readers and excellent readers-have devoured this series as well. The author wrote this to entice his son, and in so doing, he has given a gift to teenage readers. The plot is exciting, the characters believable and likeable, and Flanagan's subtle humor just adds to the delight of this series. I just received the fourth book in the series; can't wait to read it. A sure fire hit for teens, even those that think of themselves as nonreaders!
I can't put the book down!
I read this book a few weeks ago and read the whole thing in one night. The story just keeps you wanting to read. If you are looking for fantasy or adventure this book is just right for you. The only problem with this book is that it keeps you hanging. That is why I am so excited to get a hold of the new book. All of the Ranger books have been so much fun to read. Read this book if you don't want to miss out on one of the best fantasy books ever.

3rd in the Ranger's Apprentice Series for Youth
After the events in the previous book, Will and Evanlyn have been kidnapped and taken to Skandia. And Will's mentor Halt has sworn to rescue them, no matter what it takes.
This installment followed two main storylines, jumping back and forth between Will and Evanlyn's predicament and Halt and Horace's journey to rescue them. Skandia is the "Icebound Land" where the inhabitants are mercenaries, and where Will and Evanlyn are forced into slavery. Halt and Horace must face knights and ruthless warlords that challenge them along the way. With plenty of adventure and suspense, this is a fantastic, fast-paced fantasy series. The main characters are chivalrous and brave, with high ideals. This series has become a fast-favorite of mine and my family. And as before, the mild-cliffhanger ending left me reaching for the next in the series.
As good, if not better than the others in the series
The third installment in the Rangers Apprentice series is as good, if not better than the others. The action really starts from when Will tries to escape with the Kings daughter. The action just starts rising from there. I give it a four out of five, because it can always be improved.
