Clash of the Demons by Joseph Delaney
Whelp, this was just not good at all. Compared to the length of the other books I can’t believe I am going to say this, this needed to be longer. Too much got cramped in here, too many reveals (no spoilers) and way too short of an ending to move onto the next thing. I was interested in how things were going to go down in Greece, but geez it was rushed, it didn’t make a lot of sense, and of course if you know […]
Wrath of the Bloodeye by Joseph Delaney
I thought the fifth book in the series was just okay, there were some really bad plot elements in this one and I think the book fast forwarded a bit to get to the next book in the series (spoiler alert, it was not good) and better time would have been spent setting this up better. We have Tom being sent off to train with a new Spook so he can learn about different types of witches, but also more one on one combat. Also, […]
Attack of the Fiend by Joseph Delaney
“I see your future clearly. Your master will be dead, and you will be alone. It would be better if you had never been born.” Honestly, this to me was the book that really has things set into motion that I assume will play out across the series. We start off with Tom finding out that his family has been attacked, and the trunks his mam left her have been stolen. If you read the last book, you find out that his mam did something […]
Night of the Soul Stealer by Joseph Delaney
I finally got back to “The Last Apprentice” series. Yes, I am just drowning myself in fantasy novels right now because the United States has become a hellscape. This is the third book in the series, and Tom Ward has been with the Spook for about a year at this point. Tom, the Spook, and Alice have grown comfortable together (or slightly) until the Spook tells him that they need to travel to his winter home in Anglezarke and that Alice needs to stay with […]
Curse of the Bane by Joseph Delaney
I enjoyed the second book in “The Last Apprentice” series. The main reason why I didn’t give it 5 stars was that this book felt a bit muddled at times. I think having the Quisitor and then The Bane in this one was just a lot. I wish that Delaney had broken them up into two separate books. I also have to say that some parts started to bore me a bit while I was reading. “The Curse of the Bane” follows Thomas Ward and […]
