The Emperor of Nihon-Ja -- A review by Ian Zig.





Ranger's Apprentice: The Emperor of Nihon-Ja 

by John Flanagan

*****

The medieval dream team is back in the tenth book! Will, Halt, and Alyss are in Arrida, supervising a national treaty when low and behold! Evanlyn, the Royal Princess Cassandra, has unexpectedly arrived with news that Horace has gone missing in a foreign country! Horace was in the strange country of Nihon-Ja, when a sudden coup arises and Horace unintentionally involves himself by saving the Emperor Shigeru, pitting himself against the oppressive tyrant who staged the coup. Evanlyn collects the team and sets off to find Horace. Horace, racing through mountains and valleys to get to a fortress, that some believed to be mythical, to prepare for a battle with the odds weighed heavily against them. Can they outsmart the tyrant in this last battle?.. Read and find out!

I loved this series, and this was an awesome addition! I wish it ended a little differently, but you cant have everything. I highly recommend reading this book, and if you haven't read the series you should cause it was all pretty BA!

You are blunt Halea!.. but it is pretty much a guy series, although there are some elements and parts that scream estrogen, especially in this tenth book.
