I LOVE this series... but I still want to know what on earth went on between Halt and Lady Pauline! Agh, this has been frustrating me since I read the pre-series books. What went on between them?Also, I'm really sad that Cassandra and Will (view spoiler)[ even through all that they went through together they couldn't continue to be friends. I feel bad for poor Will. At least Cassandra has Horace, but Will... he's a Ranger. I'm guessing this is also something to do with why Halt and Lady PaulineI really enjoyed the Ranger's Apprentice series as a light read, even as an older teenager. The books are very easy to pick up and Flanagan's style draws you into the story. I gave this book five stars because it has probably the best battle-scene (it takes up nearly half of the book) I have ever found in fiction. Modern authors and movie-makers rarely understand medieval warfare. They are used to modern weapons like machine guns and artillery, so they use archers and catapults like automatic
Holy Bananas!Book Four in the Ranger's Apprentice not only makes up for the lack luster book Three, it left it my fists pumping in the air! Book Three basically set up the events for book Four, in which the ranger Halt and the warrior apprentice Horace were in search of the missing princess Evelyn and the ranger apprentice Will. But enough of the pleasantries and onto the action! Book Four, or the Battle for Skandia, is non stop action. Grab it now and enjoy!

Plot-4 StarsCharacters-5 StarsSetting-3 StarsBetween Will, Halt, Horace, Cassandra and Erak I loved all the characters. That is the biggest reason why I keep coming back. The plot is good but it's the characters that really make you want to turn the page. In this series, there are no surprises (Unless this is the first book you have ever read) but again he does his characters well and same for his writing.Would I read the next in the series? I already have.
So I jumped right into this one after finishing the previous one, to see how the "cliffhanger" played out...
So far the best book in the series! I really really enjoyed this one and I couldn't put it down. Cleverly written, action-packed with great characterization. Simply perfect.
