The Last Apprentice: Night of the Soul Stealer | Joseph Delaney

2 posts | 20 read | 4 to read

It's going to be a long, hard, cruel winter. And there couldn't be a worse place to spend it than up on Anglezarke. Thomas Ward is the apprentice for the local Spook, who captures witches and drives away ghosts. As the weather gets colder and the nights draw in, the Spook receives an unexpected visitor. Tom doesn't know who the stranger is or what he wants, but the Spook suddenly decides it's time to travel to his winter house, Anglezarke. Tom has heard it will be a bleak, forbidding place, and that menacing creatures are starting to stir somewhere on the moors nearby. Can anything prepare Tom for what he finds there? What if the rumors about the evil beast called the Golgoth are true? And how much danger will Tom be in if the secrets the Spook has been trying to hide from the world are revealed?

The Last Apprentice: Night of the Soul Stealer | Joseph Delaney

so-so

This was a bit weaker than the one before, a whole lot of nothing happening for some time and then the pace doesn't stop until the end. This is primarily about Gregory's past coming back to bite him, which was enjoyable, and Tom making some very stupid decisions, but I guess I'll give that he's 13 and I can only imagine that happening when you're 13 being tough and hard to think through.

The Spook's Secret | Joseph Delaney

"Nobody knows exactly what happens after we die" the Spook said with a sigh. "If we did, there wouldn't be so many different religions all saying different things and all thinking they're right. To my mind it doesn't matter which one of them you follow. Or even if you walk alone and take your own path through life. As long as you live your life right and respect others' beliefs as your dad taught you, then you won't go far wrong."
