About this listen

Will is small for his age, but agile and energetic. All his life, he has dreamed of becoming a great knight like the father he never knew, so he is devastated when he is rejected as an apprentice to Castle Redmont's Battleschool. Instead he is apprenticed to Halt, the mysterious Ranger whose uncanny ability to move unseen is thought to be the result of black magic. Reluctantly, Will learns to use a Ranger's secret weapons: a bow and arrow, a mottled cloak and a stubborn little pony. It may not be the sword and battlehorse he longs for, but when Will and Halt set out on a desperate mission to prevent the assassination of the King, Will finds that a Ranger's weapons are not so useless after all....

Fantastic, start to finish.

Had a great time with this one from start to finish and thought it warranted my first proper review.
Riveting character growth that bucks some of the trends with these young casts. The pacing is perfect throughout and I feel an attachment to these characters already in a way I never have before.

Looking forward to listening to the rest of the series.

Great listen but one downside

Great book except for the loud music between chapters so if that was removed it would be perfect. Since the music breaks emulsion

Great story, excellently read, but the music is a bit much.

They play a little tune at the start of each chapter. It’s a bit much.
