Book Review

     The book I am doing a review over is The Last Apprentice Wrath of the Bloodeye, to kick this book off it is all fiction, it contains magic, witches, battles between wizards and fiends. Tom, the spooks apprentice, has been training with him ever since he was a child, Toms first experience he had feared was being face to face with a witch. Now this is book Five out of Seven I believe, but his first encounter with a witch had not been as bad as he planned it to be. Reason being for that is because he has the spook with him, although they have kill witches in the spooks garden where he leaves them after they catch them and drain their inner spirit so they do not have enough strength to defend themselves and eventually get slain. This witch Tom was faced with was not like the others, she was half Deane and half Malkin, two different witch tribes that are complete opposites, Alice the name of Toms first capture turns out to be a big role in Apprentice training. Not only has she saved him from being drafted off into the army by this press-gang that forces who ever they want into joining the army after they lose men already fighting. There is a greater strength that tom has to fear being the Devil himself later on in the story. The gender role of fiend and witches were all women, this was set during the time of the black plague but is still a fictional read. I plan on reading the rest of this series soon reading the other two or three books, but if you enjoy reading about witch craft, battle between fiends, boggarts, and having wizards mixed in to it all, The Last Apprentice will keep you reading until the very end. I would give this book a 5/5.
