4.17 AVERAGE


In this latest adventure we find our world expanding yet again. Halt and Will are busy negotiating some peace agreements in a far away land, and Horace finds himself in Nihon-Ja, a more distant far away place that most directly compares to Japan, helping the emperor escape from a rebellion that would lead to him being replaced as emperor. Princess Cassandra shows up out of the blue to secure the help of Halt and Will and some others to help rescue Horace as he's gone missing in his effort to aid the emperor. The old friends that they are, Halt and Will readily race to his assistance.

I always enjoy following these guys on their crazy adventures, and The Emperor of Nihon-Ja is no exception. We get to see more of Flanagan's world unfold and how these friends will do everything in the power to aid one another and help people in need when evil threatens. As ever, I look forward to seeing what the future may hold for our companions.

I have loved the Rannger's Apprentice series, and this one was just as satisfying as all the rest.

The rating is for the whole series, not any book in particular. I made a whole series of videos about the bad messages in these books (and one on the good parts). You can check em out here.
