Royal Ranger takes place many years after the previous Ranger's Apprentice book. Will's friends have a 15 year old daughter who is driving them crazy. Will is distraught due to the death of his wife. Assigning the girl as an apprentice seems to be the solution to everything. The characters are compelling. The 15 year old Maddie is both a dainty princess and a bold hunter. She likes to pick whichever position suites her best, but eventually learns that being a ranger is more than just a short vacation to the country. She becomes a valued friend and companion to Will. The characters are well written. Maddie is becoming a ranger, but still a teenage girl at heart. The battles have a little drama, but all ends up well in the end.
