The Red Fox Clan

Ranger's Apprentice

De: John Flanagan

Narrado por: John Keating

John Flanagan makes a spectacular return to the world of Ranger’s Apprentice with the revelation of a conspiracy that could end the Kingdom!

John Flanagan returns to the world of Ranger’s Apprentice to find out what happens when Will’s apprentice, Maddie - the Royal Ranger - returns home to Castle Araluen. The Kingdom may have been at peace for a number of years, but there are always those who would commit treason to take power for themselves. When Maddie learns of a plot against the crown, she must go undercover to find out more - and hopefully stop it. But going undercover isn’t easy when you’re the princess - even if you’re trained as a Ranger.

Following on from Ranger's Apprentice: The Royal Ranger is a second book of Maddie's adventures. Princess by day, Ranger's apprentice by night, Maddie must keep her identity secret at all costs, for the sake of the Kingdom.

Disappointing & frustrating

Beware this is a different narrator to the previous John Flanagan Ranger books. The narration is painfully bad. No effort has been made for the characters to have similar accents to the previous books. Also there are SO many holes in this story! It is ridiculously implausible! This is not up to John’s usual standard of writing. I spent the whole book cringing in response to the narration, on the verge of turning it off. My perseverance was wasted as there is no resolution to the story as it ends with “to be continued”! The Brotherband series also uses this narrator so I will not buy them. A frustrating & disappointing purchase.

Was distracted by the reader

The story seems disjointed and doesn’t flow as easily as the other books. I was very distracted by the narrator - who paused awkwardly mid-sentence and over-dramatised many scenes.
I’ve only been able to listen to half the book.
