Our view
“The Lost Stories” is a gift to readers who already know “Ranger’s Apprentice”: short tales that fill the gaps between the novels. They go back to questions the series left open, Halt’s past among them, and mix humour with scenes that move. Some readers find the collection uneven and say its strongest stories come last. Eleventh in the series, it assumes you have read most of what came before.
