3.5 for this one. It's fun to be back in this world and this series. There were things that I really liked about this one, but also some things that to bother me (view spoiler)[mostly around how Alice (and witches in general) are treated as evil or assumed evil, but this book did introduce that "dark" can be used for good (hide spoiler)], but I'm still curious to see where the stories goes. Looking forward to diving into the next bookSPOILER FREEAs the County becomes darker, so do these books. There have always been elements of horror to the series, but this one gets creepy as Hell at points. The best bit of this book is the introduction to Bill Arkwright. Hes a fully trained spook who was trained by John Gregory. Hes one of the only ones who lived and passed the tests. His character is deeply flawed as hes haunted (no spoilers here) by something that has made him harsh and sometimes cruel. He drinks a lot but hes a good
Tom Ward is the seventh son of the seventh son which I've always like in the series but I've seen more in this book than the others is that are dear Tom doesn't change much in this book. At time he feels like he goes back a step or two and he forgets things he has previously learn in the other book, and the thing he hasn't - he COULD make a guess as to why a Spook would own/use/do the 'weird' things he does!

in order to protect tom ward the spook sends him up north to train with his old apprentice now spook bill arkwight so he may teach tom how to better defend himself if he is ever in a fight,but as tom is learning how to defend himself against water witches and how to outrun them he runs into a foe that bill has been hunting for years. now that they have her trail they stay in a local inn and upon the morning time bill is hunover from him drinking the previous night letting tom look for her
Okay...I think I've reached my saturation point on this series. As I started it I was favorably impressed and I suppose it is a good series. When I gave a 4 star to the first book and recommended it a friend here on Goodreads (Coleen black rose I believe...sorry if I mis-attributed that[colleen the convivial curmudgeon ]) noted that the problem she had was that Tom never seems to change. I can see what she means now.Tom is the Spook's apprentice (see book 1 for the explanation of what a "Spook"
Got me again! Couldn't put this book down and had it finished in a day!!!
With many series, it's fairly easy to map the course of events for every book before even cracking the spine. You know the hero will follow her or his patterns from previous books. The books become almost formulaic. I thought I had figured out the formula to The Last Apprentice: Tom and his master would go someplace to rid the area of evil, Tom would allow either his emotions or his devotion to his master to get in his way, trouble would ensue, the Spook would be detained and Tom would have to
