Summary
Whether a first-time visitor or a repeat traveler to the always mysterious and sometimes treacherous Glipwood Forest， this illustrated guide is an invaluable addition to any Wingfeather fan’s knapsack。
A Ranger’s Guide to Glipwood Forest expands the legend and lore of this treacherous land of fatal flora and fanged beasts—and the history of the first adventurers daring enough to brave the forest depths。 Through detailed line-art， maps， and directions， travelers can safely marvel at the majestic glipwood trees， poke around the （possibly haunted） Anklejelly Cavern， dip toes into the mighty River Blapp （if you dare！）， and avoid falling off a cliff edge into the Dark Sea of Darkness and being swallowed by a sea dragon。
Both longtime Wingfeather fans and readers new to the series will be enthralled， tickled， delighted， and occasionally disturbed by never-before-known nuggets， familiar factoids， and all new stories about the forest and the brave Rangers who made passage into its dark depths possible。 Don’t attempt an exploration， journey， or meander through Glipwood without it！

If you enjoyed the humor of On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness， you'll likely enjoy A Ranger's Guide to Glipwood Forest。 RANGER is more light-hearted， similar to EDGE， with plenty of little footnotes。 There isn't really a story in RANGER， which disappointed me a little。 It's primarily world-building tidbits and fun facts。 So， if you're a super fan of the saga， you'll likely enjoy all of the extra factoids！ It was fun to read about several of the locations in RANGER that later appeared in ED If you enjoyed the humor of On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness， you'll likely enjoy A Ranger's Guide to Glipwood Forest。 RANGER is more light-hearted， similar to EDGE， with plenty of little footnotes。 There isn't really a story in RANGER， which disappointed me a little。 It's primarily world-building tidbits and fun facts。 So， if you're a super fan of the saga， you'll likely enjoy all of the extra factoids！ It was fun to read about several of the locations in RANGER that later appeared in EDGE。 It made me want to go reread those scenes in EDGE。 Avid fans of The Wingfeather Saga will likely enjoy the new information and further adventures in Glipwood forest found in A Ranger's Guide to Glipwood Forest。 *I received an eARC from NetGalley。 All opinions are my own。*Cautions: a smidge of light romance; brief， non-graphic violence 。。。more

This made me want to read the rest of this series （which I was unaware was a series until I went to rate this。） It was very interesting。 A vast world building exercise to try and visualize all of the stuff that was mentioned。 I liked the mentions of freebies and discounts as well。 That was a nice touch。

This travel guide through the dangerous and wondrous Glipwood Forest was written by one of the founding members of the Glipwood Official Rangers Guild （GORG）。 Not only does he share the best and safest （relatively speaking） path through the forest， he also tells of how he met each of the other original eight members of the GORG。I really wasn’t sure what this book would be like when I first picked it up， and it turned out to be a really fun， quick read。 The humor and whimsy of the original series This travel guide through the dangerous and wondrous Glipwood Forest was written by one of the founding members of the Glipwood Official Rangers Guild （GORG）。 Not only does he share the best and safest （relatively speaking） path through the forest， he also tells of how he met each of the other original eight members of the GORG。I really wasn’t sure what this book would be like when I first picked it up， and it turned out to be a really fun， quick read。 The humor and whimsy of the original series can be found throughout this book。 At times I felt like Andrew Peterson was making up as outlandish of names and descriptions of items as he could to try to stump his son， who drew sketches of Glipwood Forest flora as well as the members of the GORG for the book。 I particularly loved the sketches of Owin and Chonis Ponius Groverly， the “in-world” author and illustrator of the guidebook。 Fans of The Wingfeather Saga will enjoy this return to the land of Skree， with many references to locations they’ll remember from the series。Thank you to Netgalley and WaterBrook & Multnomah for providing me a copy of this book to review。 。。。more

** “This guide will get you from one end of the forest to the other， but it also aims to tell you the particulars of the assembly of the first rangers and some of our adventures in the deepest， darkest clutch of trees in all of Skree。” **Readers can return to the Wingfeather Saga world with “A Ranger’s Guide to Glipwood Forest，” a resource that will help its reader travel throughout the Glipwood Forest， as well as the history of the Glipwood Official Rangers Guild （GORG）。Translated from the orig ** “This guide will get you from one end of the forest to the other， but it also aims to tell you the particulars of the assembly of the first rangers and some of our adventures in the deepest， darkest clutch of trees in all of Skree。” **Readers can return to the Wingfeather Saga world with “A Ranger’s Guide to Glipwood Forest，” a resource that will help its reader travel throughout the Glipwood Forest， as well as the history of the Glipwood Official Rangers Guild （GORG）。Translated from the original by the saga’s original author， Andrew Peterson， “A Ranger’s Guide” returns us to Peterson’s fantastic world。 Written by Owin Groverly and “embellished with nifty pictures by Owin’s son， Chonis Ponius Groverly， with assistance from Aeden Peterson， master of sketchery，” it begins with a foreword by Ollister B。 Pembrick who reveals he found this book in his search of how to explore the Glipwood Forest and its essence。Groverly reveals how he and eight others founded the GORG and created this guide， which reveals locations throughout the forest， like Trollright Stones， created by prehistoric troll actions; Brobby’s Folly， where Snickbuzzards lay their eggs; and Foot Rub Creek。He shares many examples of plants that can be found within the forest， some helpful and some harmful， as well as different creatures， including the rockroach and the toothy cow。“A Ranger’s Guide to Glipwood Forest，” which is due out Nov。 7， is another fun resource within the Wingfeather Saga， adding to readers’ understanding and appreciation of locations， creatures and plants within that world。Five stars out of five。 WaterBrook provided this complimentary copy through NetGalley for my honest， unbiased review。 。。。more

I was first introduced to Andrew Peterson's wonderful world of Aerwiar during the early days of the pandemic when I enjoyed listening to him livestream his reads of the wonderful Wingfeather Saga。 It is no exaggeration to say that he has become one of my favourite authors and musicians。 He writes with a humour that makes me laugh out loud， and has a wonderful way of describing things so that you really get a picture of the people and places。 This book was no exception and I greatly enjoyed his d I was first introduced to Andrew Peterson's wonderful world of Aerwiar during the early days of the pandemic when I enjoyed listening to him livestream his reads of the wonderful Wingfeather Saga。 It is no exaggeration to say that he has become one of my favourite authors and musicians。 He writes with a humour that makes me laugh out loud， and has a wonderful way of describing things so that you really get a picture of the people and places。 This book was no exception and I greatly enjoyed his description of the places throughout Glipwood forest， some familiar from the Wingfeather Saga and others new， as well as the tales that make those landmarks important。 It makes me want to go and travel the path described in the book and experience the adventures to be found。 After listening to him read the original books， I was able to hear his voice as I read this book， which really made it come alive for meThe Illustrations by Aiden Peterson are also wonderful and add to the story and the ability to envision the events。 Aiden is incredibly talented and that he and his father can work together in this way is a wonderful gift。 I especially enjoyed the illustrations of Owen Groverly the "author" of the guide， and his son Chonis the "illustrator" who look suspiciously like more rugged Glipwood versions of Andrew and Aiden。I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the Wingfeather Saga， or a good travel guide。I received an advance copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more
