    Poorly written YA
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2018*

This book would actually merit a 2 star for effort, but I needed to write a 1 star to balance all the hype. I like Fantasy and Dark Fantasy, and believe that YA books and series' should be of a better quality. All these genres get a bad rap, and low quality writing really overpopulates them. I would like to steer people away from a low quality series like this one.It's a first person narrative that gets old fairly quick. The world in which it takes place (at the point that this book was written) has a few things fleshed out, but isn't really encompassing, there is no past, no context; just a vague nebulousness. It isn't very scary. Lost interest very easily. Please go elsewhere for something better. Pick up Neal Gaiman, Ursula K. Le Guin, Joe Abencrombe, anything else.

    Told from Thomas Ward’s point of view
  

*by R***F on Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2017*

This book is told from Thomas Ward’s point of view. He has just begun his apprenticeship with the Spook and it has yet to be decided if the Spook will allow him to stay on as his apprentice. First, he has to go through a one month trial to see if the Spook thinks Thomas has what it takes to become a spook himself.The book is geared toward middle-school aged readers, but as an adult I enjoyed this story very much and felt the book had a nice pace to it. There was enough suspense and action to keep me reading without getting bored. I will continue reading this series. It will be interesting to following Young Thomas’ journey and see how he grows up and learns to deal with the challenges that come his way.

    Spooky Books--an amazing series for thrill-seekers
  

*by K***O on Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2013*

With the release of the movie, "Seventh Son" (Jeff Bridges, Julianne Moore) I decided to look back at the book that inspired this movie, "The Last Apprentice: Revenge of the Witch."I came across this series while looking for an audio book for a road trip. Didn't have much time, read the back matter quickly and went for a ride. And what a ride. From the first chapter on the reader is dropped in the "County" a place where the most important man is a man who folks don't like to look at. Folks don't want to talk to him, either. That man is the keeper of the peace. He's a "Spook." He takes care of ghoulies, and ghosties, long-legged beasties, and things that go crunch in the night. "When the Spook arrived, the light was already beginning to fail. It had been a long, hard day, and I was ready for my supper." With that line, and with the stunning line drawings of Patrick Arrasmith, the reader learns that the main character, 12 year old Thomas Ward, is the seventh son of a seventh son and he has a destiny. He is to be trained as a Spook. All begins quietly enough, that is, until Alice comes along. Alice, a young gal herself, manages to "trick" Thomas into freeing Mother Malkin, a witch so vile that she could eat Cruella DeVille as a snack before chowing down all 101 Dalmatians, fur, bones, and all. This book is suggested for 10-14 year olds, however, make sure that any ten year old who receives it has a stomach for horror, because that's what this is, an adventure (extraordinary) with a walloping dose of scare. In fact, I'd drop off the 14 year old age limit because I know plenty of adults who'd enjoy this series. The trailer for the movie shows a young Tom with a beard. Not the twelve year old in the book. It also shows a dragon and some other monsters that I'm not so sure about. Julianne Moore looks absolutely outrageous as Mother Malkin and Jeff Bridges as the Spook, well, be still my heart. So if you have an adventurous kid who enjoys books that push the boundaries, and this kid is pretty well grounded (doesn't scare easily) I'd definitely recommend this series.
