I can't stand Harlyn! I almost hate her. She kissed Simon for crying out loud!

Simon belongs with Kestra not Harlyn!

I'm dying at this point. Why was Simon so cruel to Kestra when she came back? It hurt me so much!

This book is amazing.

Wynnow is really sus. I bet she's secretly in cahoots with Lord Endrick.

I don't like Harlyn, she's threatening Simon and Kestra's relationship! I will be super, super upset if Harlyn and Simon kiss for some reason. That can't happen! Simon is in love with Kestra, not Harlyn!

Anyways, it's really good so far. 👍

I'm loving this so much! I'm gonna try to finish it tonight but I doubt that will happen.

I'm hoping that Kestra will be a defect. For both hers and Simon's sakes. I'm worried that Kestra won't get some of her memories of Simon back. That'll be really sad if she doesn't.

It's really good so far! I haven't read a book in a while that was so good I couldn't put it down. I can't put this one down! 🎉🎊🎈😁

I really like it so far. Simon's my favorite already.

Imma finish it today!

Will just met Gilan a few pages ago. I love Gilan. And Halt. And Will.

Alright fine I'll admit it, I have way too many favorites in Ranger's Apprentice: Alyss, Halt, Will, Gilan, and Horace. I'm sorry. That's way too many. 🏹🏹🏹

UGH! I want to be done with this soooooo badly! It's super, duper boring! My stinkin' history schedule is dragging out my misery with how it hasn't been in my history lessons for the past few days.

Boar hunt time! This is such a fun part. 🐗

It's so fun to see the difference between the characters in the first book compared to the characters in the later books. I'm talking about character development.

Horace gets better, people! He is actually one of my favorites. He isn't a jerk anymore! Halt also gets more lovable. He is also one of my favorites.

Guess what I'm reading for the 3rd time? Ranger's Apprentice! I'm reading it for my book club and I'm thrilled. It's my 2nd favorite book series.

YAAAAAAASSSSSSSS!!!!! I FINALLY got a Cal and Mare reunion! I ship them so much!

It's really good so far. I'm so happy that there are POV switches (I hope that makes sense)! I wish there could be at least one chapter with Cal's POV. Let's hope there will be one later.

It's good so far. I can't wait for Mare to get rescued (I hope she does). I want a Cal and Mare reunion so badly!

I'm really enjoying it so far. I was worried that it wouldn't be very good because my sister didn't really like it. She actually DNF-ed it. I think if she had continued with the book she would have liked it better. It gets better around the half-way point.

And I FINALLY got another kiss from Cal and Mare!

I know I'm hardly through the book at all but I just started today.

Is it just me or is the Scarlet Guard super suspicious? Are they really the good guys? Could there possibly be a better good guy group that Mare, Kilorn, Cal, Shade, and everyone else could join instead?

Anyways, I'm enjoying so far.

I'm about to start chapter 36. I'm gonna try to finish it today. I probably won't tho.

I love Halt and Will's father-son relationship. Listen to this:
"Then he felt a fierce certainty flooding through him again. Will would be there because Halt needed him to be there. Will would be there because he was Will—and he had never let Halt down." - Narration
I just love that!

I'm not super far yet but this funny:
"I've always wanted one of these," Horace said, grinning at the cloak. He pulled the deep cowl up over his head, hiding his face in its shadows, and gathered the gray-brown folds around him.
"Can you still see me?" - Horace Altman (pg. 87)

Context: Halt gave Horace his spare camouflage cloak and Horace is trying it out.

(I'm really loving re-reading this series)

I'm gonna try to finish it today!

I've really enjoyed re-reading the Ranger's Apprentice series. I forget how funny it is sometimes.
I love this quote,
"You think I was lying? You challenge my basic honesty? I am deeply, deeply hurt! Tell me, Horace, when have I ever lied?" - Halt O'Carrick
It's not as funny when you don't have context though.

Ugh I need to finish this book! I'm so close to finishing it but I don't want to keep going. Once I finish it, I'm dnf-ing the series and moving on to Red Queen.
