Unconfirmed accounts of a group of Araluen warriors - tales of adventure, battle, and triumph over evil - have spread for centuries throughout the known world. Most notable is a clan shrouded in mystery, phantom warriors known as the Rangers.Two names pass the lips of every storyteller: Halt, and his apprentice, Will. They and their comrades in arms are said to have traveled throughout the kingdom and beyond its borders, protecting those who needed it most. If true, these rumors can be only part of the story.
Only now, centuries after these men and women walked the earth, do we have confirmation of their existence. Behold The Lost Stories, Book 11 in the Ranger's Apprentice epic.

So I've finally finished the published Ranger's Apprentice books (don't fear - John Flanagan pointed out in the talk I was at on Thursday that there will be at least one more). I'll start with my thoughts on the Lost Stories and then move back to the series as a whole.This is a series of short stories covering everything from how Will's parents really died, through to random adventures through to more important milestones. The stories are short and easily digestible, which was good because thereAnd they all lived happily ever after.The lost stories ties up all the loose ends. Centuries after the events in the Rangers Apprentice archeologists find a ruined cabin that belongs to the legendary Holt. Inside is a wooden chest which contains hand written stories about the characters that appeared in the first ten books.Sad this series has come to an end. But there are two spin off series for me to start.
8/10. A collection of relatively short stories, and they were all great. I barely got bored with this book and there was a lot of humour in this one. I loved reading in some different characters POV's, especially Gilan's haha, and loved reading about stuff that happened in between throughout the rest of the series. And some of the beautiful things that happened in this book, so great! I really liked this one. Have reread each of the stories multiple times!
This would have gotten 4 stars, but the stories just were too "uneven". One or two I really enjoyed, and would have preferred to have had them expanded to a whole novel. Others seemed to me to be nearly "filler", even if they did flush out aspects of the over arching story.
I forgot to note my opinions of the stories as I went along-- whoops! I did enjoy most of them. I think the beginning, or the theme of how these are journals found in the future really hit my heart and made me feel more nostalgic because then it really hits home that the characters will die eventually. Die and become legends, but perhaps not totally known by name. Anyhow, most of the stories are really good. I liked the stories of Gilan and even of Halt's past. There were many instances to
Overall Rating: 3/5Story: 3/5Characters: 3/5World-Building: 3/5Editing/Presentation: 3/5Story: There are multiple short stories in this book, and each of them have clear plot lines and arent the least bit confusing. The assassination attempt on Evanlyn in one of the stories definitely seemed random and thrown in last minute, and other stories didnt seem to serve much purpose to the larger series than to give minor characters a chance to shine. Most of the stories were fairly paced and the point
The Lost Stories is a unique book. The author John Flanagan writes a series of short stories that answer questions sent to him by his fans. 1. Death of a Hero--How Halt finds Will.2. The Inkwell and the Dagger--What happened to Gilan when Halt and Horace went to Gallica to rescue Will in The Icebound Land.3. The Roamers--an adventure that Alyss and Will have together.4. Purple Prose--is an assignment Will and Halt have to capture some moondarkers who have been wrecking and plundering ships.5.
