"The only reason I disliked the rangers apprentice series is because it was too slow for me. That’s all. I don’t mean to upset anyone by doing this lol"

"Good book"

Lily Deters

"I hear that the author is working on writing it into a TV show!"

Emily Anne

"I definitely recommend this book. It takes about 3 to 4 chapters to get into it but once you do it's amazing. The characters (especially halt) are funny and witty and pretty darn relatable. However!! You need to read 1-4 then 7 6 and 5 as the author wrote it out of order (on accident of course 😉) I recommend the entire series to anyone who likes fantasy."

"This is an amazing book. It includes mystery and lots of fun adventures. You get pulled into the book and then the whole series as you fall in love with the characters. 100% recommend. "

Elijah

"My first ever fully read series as a teenager. Got the books as they came out. Cannot recommend enough as a YA fantasy medieval series. Plenty of intrigue and character building as you go along."

Sam

"When Will saves Halt and Crowley from the big beast in the ruins. I love any moment in the series where we really get to see Halt and Will's bond grow. "
