#but I got 7 books into the Ranger’s Apprentice series before I realized the main kingdom was Araluen and not Arulean

[happypuppys-archive]

pls do pls do pls do !!!! i love books

:DDDD !!!!! okay okay okay this will be slightly long bc im just gonna explain the entire first book (since that series has 12 bookz n then therez 3 different sequel series kdh)

putting under cut bc itz v long

BUT okay so the main character of this book is will!!!! he is an orphan that lives in redmont castle (? i think itz called that but i haven’t read the bookz in like 7 nearly 8 years lol) n so he is with a bunch of other orphans n then there is one, horace, who bullies him. hez a dick atm but genuienly by the end of the book hez one of ur fav characterz

SO they have this whole thing at 15 where the like. important people come in and they tel them what job they want ? like one wants to be a courier, one wants to be a chef, n horace wants to be a knight. so they tell them that but then will:[ he wants to he a knight bc he knows his father was one but they’re like ‘lol no’ so hez sad BUT..... a ranger appears :ooooo and he handz the baron a note n itz about will so will is like ‘i am going to read that letter tonight’

SO when everyone is ~asleep~ he sneaks out and hides and climbs his way up the wall to the barons room n getz in AND THE FUCKER ISNT ASLEEP!!!!! AND THE RANGER IS THERE!!!!! (his name is halt btw) n then the baron is like ‘well we should let him at least read the note’ n it’s like ‘i will take will on as my apprentice for him to be a ranger’

SO!!!!!! i think the next day or smth? will leaves n goes with halt and he starts training and stuff n itz just. cool!!! n there’s also a whole thing where he gets a horse who will only respond to him + a word itz cool skfhjd.

meanwhile horace is at the knight school n now HE is getting bullied!! by these boys a year above him and hez like ‘oh fuck now i know what it feels like n i feel bad’

(now at this point a couple things might be out of order bc idk which happened first)

SO willz been training yknow hez gonna be a RANGER bc they r. vv cool they have bows they shoot with and they are Silent they have cloaks that blend in to the nature so that they can Sneak and Hide!!!!

and so halt takes him to this whole rnager camp thingy where all the rnagerz meet up at But on the way there he gets will to hide because his former apprentice tries to sneak up on him every year and he wantz will to shoot an arrow near him to show that hez there so will is hiding n then the former apprentice, gilan comes up (i love him soso much btw) n hez like ‘oh i got u halt!!!! i got u good!!!’ n then halt is talking and will is pulling back his bow and then halt says smth about having two horses n gilan Realizes and as he turns to look will shoots the arrow n it hitz the tree beside gilan!!!

so then they get to the camp n there is Bad Thingz happening so they leave to go back to their home

and so then therez a scene where all of the orphans are hanging out on this like rlly happy day but then horace is a fucking DICK so it getz ruined but u know what? whatever

so then another scene is where therez a wild boar thatz running around, so everyone tries to hunt it, right? and so therez halt and will wirh the knights and stuff and i think will kills the boar? but then he goes a tiny bit away and then therez horace there and i think they’re gonna argue when THEREZ ANOTHER NOAR!!!! and then willz horse tries to get the boar away and he’s like ‘TUG MO’ but then soon the boar is coming at them

and will puts out his knife (? idk if thatz the right word) hoping that at least he can kill it before it can hurt horace AND THEN!!!! an arrow comes flying n KILLS the boar!!!!! and i have screenshots for this i just Need to share

SO HORACE AND WILL FRIENDSHIP!!!!!!! they r friendz now itz soso great

ok so remenber the fact that horace is getting bullied? those fuckerz think hez gonna tell will (or think he told will) so after they beat horace up theyre loke ‘letz go teach his friend a lesson’ n horace is like FUCK so even tho hez hurt he gets up and follows them and then when they arrive and EILL is there they fucking hurt him??! but then horace arrives and hez like ‘you fucking fuckers, stop hurting my friend’ BUT THEN!!!!! HALT ARRIVES!!!!!

n hez liek. a Scary Ranger okay! hez known across the land bc hez so good but these boys see him being like 5 foot 4 so they’re like ‘oh we can take him’

(note: they cannot)

they get their asses fucking BEAT!!! one getz his ankle broken, another one getz rlly hurt, n then horace spanks the other one with the cane they brotught to hurt will with n he hitz them so hard that it broke lmaoo

BUT THEY GET EXPELLED FROM KNIGHT SCHOOL!!!!

(also there was a scene some point in the book where the whole knight teacher dude noticed horace doing stuff during their training and he realizes horace is unconsciously adding a swipe to the thing hez learning for fighting which will fucking Kill whoever hez fighting so the dude is like ‘damn. he smort’)

okay okay so the end of the book. therez this whole Evil Dude that u slowly learn about throughout the book but he has an army of these ducking like. night creature thingz! itz rlly weird they r covered in fur and see best at night and can only be killed by fire but the thing is that once they have a scent to track. they will not stop tracking until either them or the person they’re hunting is dead

and remember how i said halt is like a Scary Ranger? itz bc hez known for defeating the Evil Dude in this war. so guess who the evil dude sendz those monsterz after.....

and they dont know this yet, so like. halt sendz eill back to the castle to get the baron n the knight leader dude and will genuiwnly doesnt stop until he arrives and theyre like ‘woah what the duck’ n he frantically tells them and so they’re like ‘fuck u need sleep’ n hez like ‘NO HALT COULD BE DYING’ but they. Make him sleep for a few minutes n then they all head back but when they arrive they hear the creatures like hunting call and they know that they r hunting for halt

BUT halt has killed one already so therez one left so hez weak and then one of them nearly kills the knight dude (and i can’t remember what happened to the baron but hez still alive) but will putz stuff on his arrow and then dips it into the fire and it lightz on fire and it burns his hands but the holds the arrow back and points or at the creature and then firez it and kills the fucker so for now. everyone is safe

(n then therez a whole scene where the king expresses his gratitude blah blah n then it endz)

sorry that thatz so long skhd
