John Flanagan always amazes me. He is a very talented author. There are very few series I would read to the very end if they had more than five books. Until now, the only author series I've read that have been longer than five books are Harry Potter and the first twelve books of The Secrets of Droon. My point? For me to read a series for this long and be willing to read more, the author has to be pretty darn good.

Dear Mr. Flanagan,

A heartfelt thanks for sharing the world you created and populated with some of my all-time favorite book characters! You did the series justice with this tenth book. I particularly loved the parts with Alyss and Evanlyn! They came very close to stealing the show, which I absolutely loved.

Does this really have to be the last one?? What are your plans for the future? Any thoughts of writing books that tell us about Halt as a young Ranger's Apprentice? Or are you going to branch...more

Here we have another entry in the Ranger's Apprentice series. This is an excellent YA series (some volumes are better than others) and I'd recommend it. Some say this is more a series for boys than for girls but I disagree. Even if it started that way it has grown to include the "love stories" of both Will and his best friend and this book was pretty much split in half. The stories of Will and his male friends is half the story while the tale of Alice and the Princess' adventures is the other ha...more

Favorite part- My favorite part was the final battle between the Emperor, Will, Halt, Horace and their followers and Arisaka and the evil Senshi. This battle is really well described and it was very intense the whole time. At the start of the battle you already assume that they are going to win, but near the end when Arisaka's 300 reinforcements arrive you start to think that they could all die.

Characters- Will- Grew up in an orphanage. He was apprenticed by Halt and was trained in the ways of the Rangers. He has been on many missions all over the world and saved many people. In this book, Evanlyn, Alyss, Halt, and him show up to Ron Koshi just before winter. He then remembers a way to have the Kikori fight as a team instead of having to train them.

Horace- Main character, grew up in the same orphanage as Will. Was trained in battle school and has become one of the best if not the best knight in Araluen. He accomponies Will and Halt on many of their missions across the globe. In this book, he was over in Nihon-Ja studying their fighting style. While he was there, their was an uprising led by Arisaka a Senshi leader. Horace then takes it upon himself to keep the Emperor safe.

Halt- Old ranger who apprenticed Will and trained him. He is a well known person in all of Araluen because of his skill with a long bow and his ability to be unseen. In this book, he helps advise the Emperor and help with the battle and defense plans of Ron Koshi.

Alyss- Grew up in the orphanage, was trained as a courior by Lady Pauline. In this book, she and Evanlyn go farther up into the mountains to find the Hasanu, a warrior group loyal to the Emperor.

Evanlyn- Daughter of King Duncan and next in line for the throne. In this book, she and Alyss go farther up into the mountains to find the Hasanu, a warrior group loyal to the Emperor.

Emperor Shigeru- Emperor of Nihon-Ja and former Senshi warrior. In this book, he is betrayed by Arisaka and forced up into the mountains. They find the ancient fortress of Ron Koshi and take refuge in it. In the end after the uprising he reamains Emperor.

Arisaka- Evil senshi warrior who started uprising against the Emperor.

Kikori- Wood workers who live in the mountains and are loyal to the Emperor. They are trained as warriors and help fight the evil senshi.

Other Works- John Flanagan has written the entire Rangers Apprentice series. "The Ruins of Gorlon, The Burning Bridge, The Icebound Land, The Battle for Skandia, The Sorcerer in the North, The siege of Macindaw, Erak's Ransom, The Kings of Clonmel and Halt's Peril.(less)

In John Flanagan's tenth novel in this series, The Emperor of Nihon-Ja, was the final war. Horace was sent to Nihon-Ja for a mission for the king. He was going there to learn their fighting techniqes and get to know the Nihon-Jan people better. The Emperor is betrayed by one of his own leaders and has no choice but to flee into the mountains.
Halt, Will and Alyss are on a diplomatic mission when Evalyn(the princess) arrives and tells them that Horace has chosen to help the leader of Nihon-Ja and flee into the mountains with him. The four of them get into a skandian ship and make thier way to Nihon-Ja. Along the way, some pirate ships try to take over thier boat but end up just losing men and thier ship. They arrive in Nihon-Ja and set up camp on a beach. That night, people named the Kikori spot them and take them captive. What they don't know is who has a allegence with the Kikori.
As Horace is making plans for battle, his scouts bring him four prissoners. Halt, Will, Alyss and Evalyn have a joiceful reuniun with Horace. Horace explains that the Kikori are a wood working tribe that live in the mountains and have no experience with battle. As the weather starts getting colder, a attack is made from the enemy. This only ends in failure. Since the Emperor and his soldiers are in a natural fortress high in the mountains, it is easy for them to defend themselves.
Winter comes and they realize that once the snow melts that they will not have enough soldiers to fight in the battle and even have an effect. Alyss and Evalyn are sent to find a tribe that might just be a myth. They return just in time as the battle starts and with their help the Emperor wins the war.
What I like about John Flanagan is that he always has a new idea for each of his books. Most books do this but his are unique. Throughout this series and book, there hasn't been once that I have been dissapointed with his books. For anyone out there that loves fiction and a war story, this book is right for you. It not only just tells a story of a war, but how young people can put their minds together and create something extraordinary.

The core group has split up. Horace and Gregory have gone to visit the Emperor of Nihon-Ja while Alyss, Will, and Halt are in Toscana reviewing Toscan troops and negotiating a treaty between Toscana and Arridi; Selethen is there "to negotiate a trade and military pact with the Toscan Senate".

This was a great book. I don't know if it is the last Ranger's Apprentice or not, but if it is, it ends on a very good note.

We basically get a taste of Japanese culture here. In some ways, greco-roman military themes and japanese samurai/bushido ideals were simplified to the point of losing what made each great, but it had to be done to appeal to a YA audience and so that the plot could advance. This is a novel after all, not a comparative on military types.

Well, I think this series is absolutely brilliant. Seriously. The beginning of the first book may seem a little childish and trite, but it honestly picks up. A lot.
Anyway, now that I've established that I'm a fan of the series, I'm gonna say that I honestly wasn't very impressed with this book. Maybe it's because the others ones had shot up my standards of John Flanagan or maybe it's just because it really isn't very good.
So, the book starts off with Horace in "Nihon-Ja" which just by the name you can tell the author is referring to Japan; like I don't even know why he bothered with this whole "hide the fact it's Japan" ideal. Plus, he uses Japanese words, class systems, and practices in the book, so it's pretty obvious.
Back to the story! So, Horace is in Japan, visiting the Emperor to learn more about their cultural traditions. While they are riding back from the Emperor's Winter Palace (I know, he sounds like a rich snob but he really isn't), a group of men attack them and make it understood that some Senshi names Arisaka has got the support of many warriors to overthrow him because he's sympathetic to peasants. Horace, due to leave a few days after, decides to stay to defend the Emperor, even though it's wiser to not. Well, when has he ever had brains, huh?
Well, someone had to be stupid to get the ball rolling on the not-so-great plot.
Anyway, a messenger delivers a message to Duncan that Horace had gone missing since there;s been an uprising in Japan. Then, vivacious Evanlyn decides she wants to sail halway across the world to make sure he's OK.
Meanwhile, Will, Halt, and Alyss are helping two countries/territories make peace; one of the parties is the Ariddi (did I spell that right?, so naturally Selethen is there. The other party had an uber-powerful military structure in which all the soldiers just basically are tuned to their leader to just stab people and no more.
Anyway, Evanlyn comes to the desert and informs them that Horace has gone missing and that King Duncan has ordered a Skandian ship with Gundar and Niles to take them to rescue Horace; Selethen decides to come too.
So, the first part of the book tells the two stories of Evanlyn's search party and Horace's party converge. How the boat goes to Japan and how the Emperor visits a few villages and decides to go to some mythological fortress that would protect him and his small number of men from Arisaka's hunting party.
Then, the second section of the books is about how, once they meet (well, duh, of course they do!), Evanlyn and Alyss decide to go off to do something important (I won't say what) and fight a lot (that's entertaining), but then make up (damn). Then, as usual, Will, Horace, Selethen, and Halt knock-up a jaw-dropping military plan to kick Arisaka's ass. Well, you'll see if they do.
The problem with this book is mainly that it's all predictable. There's really not much of a struggle or turn of events; it all follows the typical pattern that Flanagan has set up. Will goes to a place of problems, and he and some other friend(s) set(s) up a hard battle in which they always win since he's so talented.
Another thing is that it's not really a great plot. They honestly don't do much, and John Flanagan doesnt describe very well. I don't think his writing style is admirable at all. Besides his humor. No seriously, he is hella funny, especially Halt! However, most of the description is military strategy talk. I mean, great job Flanagan, you know a lot about fighting strategies, but that doesn't mean you replace a lot of necessary imagery with it!
Maybe I'm being harsh, but I honestly think the series is going downhill. It was so good in the begininng, but the part four books have just been steadily dropping in quality. I think if Flanagan messes up the next book, then a lot of readers will just stop picking it up.
But still, I reccommend reading it, just because you might have a different opinion from me. READ IT!(less)

And "The Emperor of Nihon-ja" takes us right into the heart of this distant land, with John Flanagan's usual mix of action, humor, clever plotting and slightly-altered versions of real-world civilizations.

Horace has been a guest of the Emperor of Nihon-ja, Shigeru. But as he's preparing to go back to Araluen, the Senshi warriors under Lord Arisaka suddenly rebel against the Emperor -- and Horace ends up accompanying Shigeru into the mountains. So Halt, Will, Alyss and Evanlyn (who have been overseeing training in Toscana) set out on a Skandian ship, heading straight for Nihon-ja to help their friend.

The journey to Nihon-ja has many dangers -- pirates, desert warriors, and squabbles aboard the Wolfwill. But the biggest danger is Arisaka's army, which is closing in on a remote mountain fortress where the Emperor is hiding -- and if he wins, Nihon-ja will be thrown into an era of brutality. And he's not the only terror lurking in this unfamiliar land...

"The Emperor of Nihon-ja" is apparently the last of the "regular" Ranger's Apprentice novels, and it seems like a fairly logical place for the main storyline to end. The main problem is that it does drag sometimes, especially in the first several chapters, which are bogged down by sodden horseback riding and traveling via Skandian ship.

However, things pick up once Halt, Will and Co. arrive in Nihon-ja. Flanagan's prose is nimble and descriptive, with smoothly realistic dialogue and some humorous moments (a villager accidentally says "bum" to the Emperor). But he also weaves in a load of tactical maneuvers, tricks and the occasional military stunt (the Macedon Phoenix). It makes the military conflict feel more REAL to the reader.

And Flanagan's characters have the warm, well-worn feel of familiarity by now -- it's like visiting old friends, whom you can depend on to always do the noblest, best things that they can. Will, Horace, Halt, Evanlyn and the feisty, boisterous Skandians are all pleasantly familiar, and he introduces some endearing people in Nihon-ja as well, such as the down-to-earth Shigeru.

And Flanagan wraps up the romantic subplots nicely for both young men, although somehow I just can't warm up to Alyss. She still just seems like an add-water-for-instant-love-interest.

While John Flanagan still has a couple more books to go, "The Emperor of Nihon-ja" is a thoroughly amusing, satisfying finale for the main storyline. Strong, pleasant and fun.
