Red Fox (Brothers Book 3)

Follow the Author

---

In this book, Araluen is finally in peril. It has all the same elements of the previous books, and is very well done. It portrays Maddy very well as a talented, but still learning ranger apprentice who still makes mistakes. The only downsides are that Will isn't in the book much, and the book ends rather abruptly with "to be continued". It would have been better to release the entire story as one book. But never-the-less, it is an excel Another really good book in the Ranger's Apprentice series.

But never-the-less, it is an excellent read and great story. Aug 29, Steve rated it really liked it. Loved this book great story then boom it ends.

Sep 01, Jenny Mullin rated it really liked it. I really love this series! This book did not disappoint! A brave, skilled princess, secret tunnels, mystery, battle I wish I could give this book 4. Sep 21, Lynda Koenig rated it it was amazing. Now I have to wait for the next one! Aug 31, Rebekah rated it really liked it. I really enjoyed this one, especially the ending. The beginning was slow but had many important elements.

Horace gets a storyline in this book but unfortunately Will and Halt are hardly in it. There were also several things the editor should have caught, but they were minor things. I can't wait for the next one! Aug 29, John Garvin rated it it was ok. But too predictable from the beginning.

You knew who the leader was of the Red Fox Clan from the moment he is introduced. And you knew how Maddie would escape when she was being tracked down since she failed at the same exercise earlier.

See a Problem?

Other than that, a decent read. Oct 04, Misty rated it really liked it. I'm only giving this 4 stars because first, Will and Holt made a short appearance in the beginning of the book. Second, I knew exactly who the villain was as soon as they were introduced in the book. Very predictable on that part. I enjoy Maddie even though she can be a little overconfident at times, but then she can also realize that she does do things wrong and can be a bit hard on herself.

Can I just say Why do you have to make me wait Mr. Flanagan for the next book??? We d I'm only giving this 4 stars because first, Will and Holt made a short appearance in the beginning of the book. We don't even get a release date!! I loved that the Brotherband made an appearance and from that cliffhanger, it looks like we might see more of them!! Sep 01, Sarah Fisher rated it liked it. A story has a beginning, a middle and an end. Call me old-fashioned, but I like all of those components to be in the one book.

Yes, the characters are engaging. And yes, the plot is interesting. I was thoroughly enjoying following Ranger Maddie as she and her royal parents dealt with the threat posed by the Red Fox Clan — a militant group who wa A story has a beginning, a middle and an end. I like a series as much as anyone but every book needs a satisfying resolution, even if some plotlines remain active for future instalments.

The Red Fox Clan fails to deliver any kind of ending. It simply stops in the middle of the action. Oct 25, Leigh Strommen rated it it was ok Shelves: I have a lot of mixed feelings. On one hand--I adore Rangers Apprentice. On the other hand I am not a fan of sequels starring the children of our heroes from the previous books.

And so far this is not an exception. I feel like I should like her but I don't and it frustrates me. I like her better than I did in The Royal Ranger: Her positive traits are kind of meh too. Her finding view spoiler [ the tunnels in two days when nobody could find them in a hundred years or so hide spoiler ] reeked more of Mary Sue than Genius.

After some consideration while reading I have come to the conclusion one of my main issues with the Royal Ranger series so far has been a lack of Maddie having anyone her own age. Don't even get me started on Cassandra being referred to as "shrill" in this book. Maddie is continuously reacting and interacting with characters who I care more about than Maddie because I have spent more time getting to know them during the other books. It also seems weird to me that a teenagers ONLY friends are her parent's friends. There are very few characters that have been created just to interact with Maddie to become her friends and allies.

The only one I can think of is Ingrid--who gets 2 scenes and is Maddie's servant and not an equal. In Ranger's Apprentice both the original and the Early Years and Brotherband there's been a huge emphasis on friendship that I wish Maddie had a proper friendship. This book starts 3 years after the The Royal Ranger: Maddie has continued her training and is halfway to becoming a full-fledged ranger.

Will and Halt sent Maddie to spend a month with her parents doing "Princess" stuff as per Cassandra's wishes while they go on mission view spoiler [and Maddie gets to Castle Araluen and meets Dimon, the new hot guard. Horace and Cassandra go into "our daughter has a crush?! Overall this book is basically set up for the next Royal Ranger book, including a cliff hanger ending.

As such, I'm not sure whether I hate or love this book until I know how it all ends. Nov 20, Gwyneth Goeldner rated it really liked it Shelves: Some flirting and opposite-sex attraction.

The plot revolves around an attempt to kill the heir to the throne. There are many uses of weapons bows, arrows, swords, spears, clubs, and more. The fighting is intense and only briefly described. One supporting character dies and more are injured. A few people are described as "cursing under their breath" but th Rating: A few people are described as "cursing under their breath" but these curse words are not specified.

Well, that was a wild ride. It was intense, on the edge of your seat, with clever bits of humour and a well set up plot. Maddie was a pretty great heroine. She had her flaws but she was determined to do what was right and that moment when she used the secret tunnel to the South tower to sneak up on her mother was amazing. My one complaint about Maddie is how she notices the supposed handsomeness or not-handsomeness of whatever guy she meets.

I have a talent for predicting the endings of books and movies, so I saw the twist with Dimon coming from a mile away. It may have surprised other people, though, so I'm not going criticize it. Flanagan is certainly an excellent writer, with a good balance of wit and intensity. His battles are impressively well described. So you think he [Horace] is still alive? I think I'd feel it if he were dead. Horace and Cassandra are totally meant for each other, and it's obvious in the way they speak and move that they would die for each other.

Thumbs up for the romance, Flanagan. Well, except for the fact that Maddie doesn't have anyone yet. But that will come, I'm sure. Sep 08, Anna rated it it was amazing Shelves: A few mild spoilers, perhaps. Now I have to say, when I first started reading this book, I wasn't so sure if I could give it the full 5 stars.

If you've read the rest of the series, you might be thinking, Okay, now why wouldn't you do that? The honest answer I have is that the beginning was rather boring and bland. I was thinking to myself, what happened here? Doesn't the author know better than to bore me? I realized what he was doing as I continued reading.

Really, what might seem boring A few mild spoilers, perhaps. Really, what might seem boring at first is just the setup of the entire story! So don't give up on it yet. As the story progresses, I really started disliking Dimon. There was just something about his character that made me frown upon him. Ew, ew, he's so obnoxious and pretending to be "nice". No more about Dimon. A few things I didn't understand was that why on earth were the Brotherband characters randomly introduced without any further appearance in this book, then I realized they must come in the next book a bit later.

Yes, there's going to be another book. It disappointed me that Halt and Will were barely in the story. They left on some mission or other and weren't in it the rest of the book. I wish Halt hadn't turned so "mellow", as Gilan described him. Now Halt has white hair and I'm afraid he may end up dying soon. Let me slow down. Probably after reading my massive review, you might wonder why I even gave it stars if everything I'm talking about seems bad. Actually, it's a great book and there are tons of twists and turns. After half the book, the plot thickens and speeds up. That's why I gave it 5 stars.

And also, which kind of made me feel confused, the ending wasn't the end. There's a major cliffhanger that will be continued in the next book. And normally, I write shorter reviews than this, but I couldn't help it. Aug 28, Elaine rated it really liked it Shelves: So I think the first half of the book was just ok, a bit slow at times, but the second half really picked up.

I'd rate this a 3. I'm still not a big Maddie fan, but there were some memorable moments owing to her secret double life, and she definitely grew on me toward the end. There's a part of me that still doesn't like how this whole series came about re: Alyss , so I guess there's a bit of bitterness about that, so I can't love this series. Anyway, things I liked: Thorn, and he knows stuff Things I didn't like: Where are Will and Halt???

Where's the rest of the Brotherband? Not much of Flanagan's usual humor, and can the Ranger horses actually understand complex spoken instructions in English now? Sep 01, Kate Rider rated it it was amazing. What book is this? I honestly loved the book. As she visits her family, a new conflict arises—a group called The Red Fox Clan wants only male heirs, not the two present female heirs.

I loved the recurring could you call it circular? That was a great form of character development. Another favorite part of mine was the foreshadowing in the beginning—Maddie searching for the tunnels, then subsequently needing them to save her mother.

Easiest of all is The Spirit Ring , which is a stand-alone, or aquel, as some wag once dubbed books thatfor some obscure reason failed to spawn a subsequent series. Nexteasiest are the four volumes of The Sharing Knife-- in order, Beguilement , Legacy , Passage , and Horizon-- which I broke down and actually numbered, as this is one continuous tale.

What were called the Chalion books after the setting of its first twovolumes, but which now that the geographic scope has widened I'm dubbing the World of the Five Gods, were written to be stand-alones as part of a larger whole. However, the second volume certainly contains spoilersfor the first, so Curse-Paladin is the recommended readingorder.

The third is in effect an independent prequel, not sharingcharacters or setting with the other two, so readers of the priorvolumes need to adjust their expectations going in. In any case, thepublication order is: The novelette "Dreamweaver's Dilemma" may be of interest to Vorkosigancompletists, as it is the first story in which that proto-universebegan, mentioning Beta Colony but before Barrayar was even thought of. Talks and Essays is just what it says on the tin--a collection of three decades of mynonfiction writings, including convention speeches, essays, travelogues, introductions, and some less formal pieces.

I hope it will prove aninteresting companion piece to my fiction. The debate mainlyrevolves around publication order versus internal-chronological order. I favor internal chronological, with a few adjustments.

Red Fox (Hotel), Le Touquet-Paris-Plage (France) Deals

Shards of Honor and Barrayar. The first two books in the series proper, they detail the adventures of Cordelia Naismith of Beta Colony and Aral Vorkosigan of Barrayar. Shards was my very first novel ever; Barrayar was actually my eighth, but continues the tale the next day after the end of Shards.

For readers who want to be sure of beginning at the beginning, or who are very spoiler-sensitive, start with these two. The Warrior's Apprentice introduces the character who became the series' linchpin, MilesVorkosigan; the first book tells how he created a space mercenary fleetby accident; the second how he fixed his mistakes from the first round. Space opera and military-esque adventure and a number of other thingsone can best discover for oneself , The Warrior's Apprentice makes another good place to jump into the series for readers who prefer a young male protagonist.

Brothers in Arms should be read before Mirror Dance , and both, ideally, before Memory. Komarr makes another alternate entry point for the series, picking up Miles's second career at its start. It should be read before A Civil Campaign.

Borders of Infinity , a collection of three of the five currently extant novellas, makes agood Miles Vorkosigan early-adventure sampler platter, I always thought, for readers who don't want to commit themselves to length. But it maymake more sense if read after The Warrior's Apprentice. Take care not to confuse the collection-as-a-whole with its title story, "The Borders of Infinity".

Falling Free takes place years earlier in the timeline and does not sharesettings or characters with the main body of the series. Most readersrecommend picking up this story later. It should likely be read before Diplomatic Immunity , however,which revisits the "quaddies", a bioengineered race of free-fall dwellers, in Miles's time.

The novels in the internal-chronological list below appear in italics; thenovellas officially defined as a story between 17, word sand 40,words in quote marks. The novella "Weatherman" is an out-take from the beginning of the novel The Vor Game. If you already have The Vor Game , you likely don't need this. The original 'novel' Borders of Infinity was a fix-up collection containing the three novellas "The Mountains of Mourning", "Labyrinth", and "The Borders of Infinity", together with aframe to tie the pieces together.

The framestory does not stand alone. Some eight months after the events of "Penric and the Shaman", Learned Penric, sorcerer and scholar, travels to Easthome, the capital of the Weald.

Younger might have a hard time with the hunting aspect, as we do spend a bit of time with the hunters. I loved how we get to know everything about Vulpes without needing to have him 'talk'. Even when he was with his mate, there was no verbal communication between them.

I liked the reoccurring animals that showed up now and again. Book does get a bit long, but the flow is very good and the pages sail by. May 03, Lanelibrarylady rated it really liked it Shelves: Follows Vulpes, the Red Fox from birth in his den to exploring the world on wobbly little fox legs, to his interaction with humans and hunting.

I was quite surprised at author George Jul 12, Petra Be rated it it was amazing Shelves: This is just the kind of story I liked when I was a kid. It was like going back to my childhood. Interesting story with beautiful illustrations. Just makes me dislike people who kill for the kill all the more Jan 09, Lex rated it it was amazing. My favorite book of all time I just wish the last chapter wasn't the last chapter. Just like "My Side of the Mountain," the last chapter ruins the book. So, I always stop at the second-to-last chapter!!

Sep 19, Julie rated it really liked it. Vuples the Red Fox was a great example of 3rd person - with a fox. The twist at the end thoroughly surprised me and its amazing how George made this book to where you want Vulpes to live and not the hunters, really!

All told from the point of view of the fox - interesting, but I don't think kids will find this a gripping read. May 02, Loretta added it. I remember reading this in grade school. I loved it because I only read books about animals. Its a great story for any age.

Aug 05, Godwin rated it it was amazing. It was everything you wanted to see in a fiction for a young charismatic fox! To top it off. It was a great read, and I will always remember this book.
