Ranger's Apprentice 1: The Ruins of Gorlan by John Flanagan


This is an interesting fantasy world that doesn't really have magic.  There is a very large series of these books, including a couple of spin-off series.  It's a well-developed world and the books do have some good emotional impact. 

There is one note of caution here.  For some strange reason, the books in this series are NOT stand alone.  They end abruptly without warning and start right back up in the next book.  So be aware, that if you pick up this book and like it, you're looking down the barrel of 9 books to get the full story with them getting a little more book-like towards the end. 

Definitely an enjoyable series!

I have the whole series and I like it a lot. They are meant for a young adult audience but can also be enjoyed by us older folks.

I really enjoy both series too. For me the author has that  gift where you say, 'I should do something else but I'll just read one more chapter first.'.

I loved these books, going through high school. I heard there's a new one, coming in the Fall, I think? It follows Will Treaty and Apprentice Ranger Maddy, succeeding the events of The Royal Ranger. :)
