Best of the series and a great way to end it (for me). The 10th book had everything we hoped for, all the main characters plus a couple of extras doing their thing. The story followed a familiar path with strategy, heroics and joyful ending. I like the fact that the girls got heavily involved again even if it was a tad forced.
I am not super interested in the short story collection that follows this and the last book has not been well received so I will skip that. Fantastic series well worth reading.

The last of the Ranger's Apprentice books, this was very fun, and Horace finally got a chance to shine on his own. Everything wraps up pretty neatly at the end, the only complaints I had was that the story was rather predictable. Selethen coming along just to "get the gang back together" seemed a little forced. The depiction of Japan was cool, although maybe somewhat Westernized (like North Africa/Arrida in previous books), but not enough to be jarring, I felt. It has been a great series, and this is a worthy ending.
I have now read all 10 Ranger's Apprentice books that are released thus far. They are fun stories with likable characters. The only thing I have against them is that sometimes the plots are so predictable and transparent. After reading just 2 or three chapters you can predict what is going to happen in the end.
