Publisher's Summary
John Flanagan makes a spectacular return to the world of Ranger’s Apprentice with the revelation of a conspiracy that could end the Kingdom!
John Flanagan returns to the world of Ranger’s Apprentice to find out what happens when Will’s apprentice, Maddie - the Royal Ranger - returns home to Castle Araluen. The Kingdom may have been at peace for a number of years, but there are always those who would commit treason to take power for themselves. When Maddie learns of a plot against the crown, she must go undercover to find out more - and hopefully stop it. But going undercover isn’t easy when you’re the princess - even if you’re trained as a Ranger.
Following on from Ranger's Apprentice: The Royal Ranger is a second book of Maddie's adventures. Princess by day, Ranger's apprentice by night, Maddie must keep her identity secret at all costs, for the sake of the Kingdom.

Not a great narrator
The story is great but unfortunately I found it very difficult to get into because of the narrator. I wish they had continued on with William Zapper as he was excellent!

Bring back William Zappa
Where is William Zappa?! I love the story, I love John Flanagan's books and story telling, but the whole story is brought down by the narrator. Why does Gillian suddenly have a Scottish/Irish accent? He pronounces Alyss and Evelyn wrong and almost always sounds excited, their is no variation. John Keating does a great job at the Brotherband series but he just isn't right to the Rangers Apprentice series.

Narrator
Changing the narrator really threw me off the story and made it hard to be engaged by it

Good book, shame about the narrator.
We've listened to all 13 Rangers Apprentice books over the years and my children, both the boys and the girls, have loved them. Unfortunately the narrator has changed for this book (to John Keating) and is simply not as engaging. He reads the book as though it's a set of lecture notes with dramatic pauses in odd places and an inability to build suspense in his story telling. Such a shame as the story is as good as the others.

John Keating is great but totally wrong for this
If you have never listened to a John Flanagan audiobook, this recording work for you, if you are already a fan, it is just a bad fit
John Keating brought the brotherband world to life in our minds. When I listen to this book I feel like I am listening to the characters of the Brotherband. It gets confusing and it just does not work. If another recording is made with William Zappa , I would gladly pay for it again. The story is great so far, I am about 1 hr in, but cannot listen anymore. I am going to read it in text.
No offence to John Keating , his other work is great, but this casting is a failure

The Wrong Reader
Now don't get me wrong, I love listening to these books but I don't like having John Keating read them. Still in my mind it is William Zappa is who does the best version of Rangers Apprentice. John Keating is good at the Brother band books but no so much the Ranger ones.

The Narrator is a poor choice
Nothing wrong with the story as good as the rest so far but I cant stand the way the narrator reads this book. Strange pauses ,poor pitch and it feels rushed. Not sure why William Zappa is gone but please get him to do them and delete these recordings they are a disservice to John Flanagan.
Sorry John Keating you read clearly but it just doesn't fit the story and the way you pitch each sentence the same regardless of context may be good for lecture notes but for story reading I find it hard to listen to. I have given it a fair go I'm about 3 hours in but just cant deal with it anymore.
I think I will buy the text versions and read them myself.
I'm not sure if I can refund this book and the next but I am going to try.

William Zapper where are yooooou???
Terrific story, but despite the reader’s obvious energy and enthusiasm he is slave to a reading habit he seems to have developed that is tied to his own rhythm and actually ignores grammatical sense of the narrative and often lands on the completely wrong emphasis or pauses illogically. His choice of accents is at odds with the story also. Guillam is from noble stock and in Zapper’s interpretation sounded well spoken and neutral. The John Lennon sound alike chosen by Keating is not successful and grates.
