In this third iteration of the twelve books in the Ranger’s Apprentice series, we get to see the
formation of the greatest power duo that the literary world may have ever been faced with:
Horace and Halt. This book is an interesting new style from the author where it switches back
from a princess and a ranger stuck in slavery (their names are Will and Evanlyn: I hope you can
tell which one is the princess) and a prince stuck with a former battleschool student (just kidding,
Halt was lying about being royalty... I think). The story switches from the difficult and different
experiences of Will who battles with addiction to warmweed (I know, I think it’s a creative name
too) and Evanlyn who... actually is doing alright for herself besides the imminent death threat to
her and her entire family from the leader of Skandia, the country she and Will are currently in, to
Halt who... doesn’t want to talk it and Horace who is trying to get him to talk. This book is
actually one of my least favorite of the series, but it has grow on me considerably, especially
because of the power duo that is Halt and Horace. Despite this, I still would recommend this
book. If you’ve read the first two books already, why stop? And if you’re starting on the third
book, what’s wrong with you? Start on the first book like a normal person. Then read this book.
Seriously, read it.
