Royal Ranger
John Flanagan
The Ranger's Apprentice Series is a wonderful universe that I would gladly escape to anytime! The characters evolve throughout the books wonderfully and each book connects seamlessly with the next. I found myself connecting with each character in more ways then one and can not say how much I enjoyed reading these enough (although I will have to or I will likely subconsciously spoil it for someone and I do not want to be that person)!
