The Lost Stories

If you are a fan of Ranger's Apprentice, then this is a must read for you. Even though it's only an addition to the main story, those short stories are good for the whole story and the world around.

I forgot to note my opinions of the stories as I went along– whoops! I did enjoy most of them.

I think the beginning, or the theme of how these are journals found in the future really hit my heart and made me feel more nostalgic because then it really hits home that the characters will die eventually. Die and become legends, but perhaps not totally known by name.

Anyhow, most of the stories are really good. I liked the stories of Gilan and even of Halt's past. There were many instances to laugh, but also a few that had me tearing up. Ugh... The Wolf was a hard one to read :(

There is also a one page inclusion of the Spin-off about the boy from Scandia. Sorry, I can't remember his name since I haven't read the series. But it is a nice way to do it and build interest, because even though I wasn't planning on reading it, I just might now! It really is a good ending to the series and while I know there is still #12 Royal Ranger (which I see is also the beginning to another spin-off), I am hesitant to try reading a different ending to these amazing characters.

A good read if you enjoy the series.
