If you loved following Will's training as a Ranger's apprentice with a high-stakes mission at its heart, you'll be hooked by The False Prince. Sage, a clever orphan, is thrust into a dangerous contest to impersonate the missing prince of Carthya—where every lesson, test, and scheme could mean life or death. The page-turning plot and sense of urgency will keep you guessing at every turn.

If you enjoyed the camaraderie between Will, Halt, Horace, and the other apprentices, you'll find the ensemble of woodland creatures in Redwall just as delightful. Matthias, the brave mouse, and his friends—each with their own strengths—band together to defend Redwall Abbey. The teamwork and diverse cast provide a rich, immersive adventure.

If Will's journey from uncertain apprentice to capable Ranger inspired you, Throne of Glass offers another rewarding arc. Celaena Sardothien starts as a hardened assassin, but through her trials, she grows into someone who must confront her past and shape her own destiny. Her training, evolving relationships, and inner battles echo the satisfying character development you enjoyed.

If the rich lore and evocative settings of Araluen captivated you, Eragon transports you to Alagaësia—a world teeming with ancient magic, varied cultures, and a deep history. As Eragon learns about dragons, elves, and the responsibilities of power, you'll find yourself lost in a fantasy world just as vast and meticulously crafted.

If you were drawn to Will's transformation from insecure orphan to skilled apprentice, you'll love Alanna: The First Adventure. Alanna disguises herself as a boy to train as a knight, facing trials, forging friendships, and growing in confidence and ability. Her journey is filled with mentorship, danger, and the hard-won lessons of growing up.
