The Emperor of Nihon-Ja (Ranger's Apprentice #10)
Personally, the beginning of this book is a bit slower than some of the others. But as the book progresses, the story line goes faster and we get some action. A few wars, a beast being killed, and a butterfly. Anyway, if it was in a different series, I would probably rate this 4 out of 5, but since John Flanagan is my favorite author, I don't have the heart to give him anything other than a 5. <3
I think I just have to accept the fact that I'm over this series ... I probably should have stopped reading about five books ago or so.I'm just not invested anymore, not in the characters, not in the stories and certainly not in the hardly original worldbuilding.
Okay, I'll admit that I complained for most of this book (sorry Kevin) but the ending was so hilarious that it totally made up for the fact that it took nine books and 393 pages for my brotp to stop hating each other.
Like every other book in this series, this was a good solid, enjoyable read.
Best of the series and a great way to end it (for me). The 10th book had everything we hoped for, all the main characters plus a couple of extras doing their thing. The story followed a familiar path with strategy, heroics and joyful ending. I like the fact that the girls got heavily involved again even if it was a tad forced. I am not super interested in the short story collection that follows this and the last book has not been well received so I will skip that. Fantastic series well worth
Another adventurous outing for the boys and girls - with the girls especially going on a trip that is very exciting and scary at the same time. Once again, Flanagan takes a particular cultural terrain (Feudal Japan) and mixes it with his own low-fantasy setting. The pace is very good, since multiple stories kick off the proceedings and some even branch off in between with all of which coming together towards the end. While the stereotypes of Feudal Japan are quite blatant, it serves well as a

Narrative To Books The Emperor of Nihon-Ja (Ranger's Apprentice #10)
When Horace travels to the exotic land of Nihon- Ja, it isn't long before he finds himself pulled into a battle that is not his - but one he knows in his heart he must wage. A kingdom teeters on the edge of chaos when the Nihon-Ja emperor, a defender of the common man, is forcibly overthrown, and only Horace, Will, and his Araluen companions can restore the emperor to the throne. Victory lies in the hands of an inexperienced group of fighters, and it's anybody's guess who will make the journey home to Araluen.Itemize Of Books The Emperor of Nihon-Ja (Ranger's Apprentice #10)
