As a huge fan of the series I was sad to see the end of it although this final gem from author John Flanagan takes the reader on a few additional short story adventures to help fill in some gaps within the series history. It's cleverly done and if you'll forgive the pun, ranges across the many years of the series. Add to this some wonderful additions that not only flesh out the world but the characters and the reader is in for a real treat on their final excursion for the moment. -- Tatty http://tattystreasurechest.blogspot.com/ 20111007

John Flanagan spent ten books crafting the stories of the Rangers Will and Halt, young knight Horace, and their many friends and allies. And in "Ranger's Apprentice: The Lost Stories," he explores some of the stories hinted at but never really explored before -- stories that illuminate the characters' pasts, small-scale adventures, and a few romantic climaxes as well.
The story is framed by a little story that takes place in the present day. Archaeologist Giles McFarlane and his assistants are excavating the remains of Castle Redmont, when one of them finds the ruins of a Ranger's cabin -- and a parchment manuscript filled with long-lost tales.
Among the stories are tales of Will Treaty and Halt. Will must write a flowery speech while battling shipwreckers, track down his abducted dog Ebony, and struggles with the inevitable when Tug is badly wounded during a mission. Additionally, he must unravel a conspiracy of murder and treachery in the days leading up to Horace and Evanlyn's wedding -- with dire consequences if he fails.
Additionally, Gilan gets a couple of stories. First, a bunch of thieves take Jenny hostage on the very day that she's expecting Gilan for a romantic dinner (awww!). And during Will's captivity in Skandia, he investigates an equally malevolent ally of Morgarath's named Foldar (brother of File?) who is busy establishing a foothold in a corrupt barony.
And there are stories that illuminate the characters' pasts. "Death of a Hero" explores how Halt met Will's father twenty-ish years ago, and how both his parents died. And "The Hibernian" studies Halt's entry into the Ranger Corps and his first meeting with Crowley, during a dark period for the Rangers.... Read more ›

Add to this some wonderful additions that not only flesh out the world but the characters and the reader is in for a real treat on their final excursion for the moment. If you've got into John's writing, look out for November and his new series Brotherband, which centres around the Skandians. Cracking.

The Rangers series is a great collection of books. Aimed for the YA section, I am a thirty year old who has really enjoyed this fantasy series when I am wanting a break from all the violence and sex from the authors of adult series in this genre. The characters are defined and explored and grow throughout the ten novels. Book 11: the lost stories, is a collection of smaller stories that didn't have enough potential to make it as a stand-alone book. Some of the stories go back to previous books to explore a character's sub plot when the main story focus was on other characters. As a whole, this book is good. Not as good as a stand-alone novel of this series, but it does fill in some blanks and any fan of this series should get it. For those of you who are not fans, you will not miss anything by not reading this book.
