Dom's Reviews > Rise of the Ranger

This felt like classic fantasy in terms of the worldbuilding. There were quite a few Dungeons & Dragons-type monsters and I liked that as it gave a lighter touch to the story which worked well for me.

There were a lot of good points, though there were a few that I wasn’t so much a fan of as well. I don’t tend to like magic schools and there was a magical combat school which took up a little too much for me. On the plus side though, it was at least a variation, and the combat side of it definitely worked better for me than a typical magic school.

Overall, I had a good time reading this. I could definitely have enjoyed it more, but it was a good opening to a series and gives a good solid base to build on from the next book onwards.
