When I found out that Flanagan was writing another book to tie up the Ranger's Apprentice series, I was thrilled. (Yes, I'm a teenage girl who fell in love with books written for middle school guys >_> )
Anyway, it lived up to all of my expectations. And more. Flanagan started from the very beginning, explaining just how Will came to be orphaned, and went all the way to Will probably in his 30s or so. And the stories didn't just deal with Will. We got to watch Alyss in 'spy mode', which was fantastic to see that side of her personality fully in a short story. There is also a story heavily involving Jenny and what life is like for her back at her restaurant.
Basically, Flanagan picked some really important milestones to cover, and he answered almost all of the questions that I had about the series when it ended.
And my favorite part? How brilliantly this book ties the Ranger's Apprentice series to the new series - of which the first book comes out November 1st!

While not all of the short stories are winners, The Lost Stories is a great ending point for the main Ranger's Apprentice books or a bridge to Royal Ranger.

A fun little collection of short stories.
I especially enjoyed Tug in these.
It’s good to visit these characters again.

I love these books so much !!!! this is a short story collection of moments throughout and after the earlier 10 books in the series, and I loved reading more about my favourite ever characters.
one of the reasons i like this srries so much is that the author made both men and women the heroes. even though the series is mainly ahout will and halt, there are some damn well written and strong female characters.
the found family and the feelings were very, very present in this one. I adored seeing all the friends will and horace made on their adventures come back in some way in the stories. and halt, my bestie. he pretends to be grumpy and stoic, but he's actually the biggest softie of them all. and just like halt, I was sobbing by the end of the last story.
=> me thinks it's time for another reread of all the books hehe

Yet another Rangers Apprentice book that I ate up. Short stories about the characters in the series. Would not work real well if you hadn't read at least some of the other books.
