Product Description
From AudioFile
In the third of the Last Apprentice series, Tom is apprenticed to the Spook, who is charged with hunting down witches and ghosts. Tom uncovers a witch's plot to plunge the land into eternal darkness. Since Tom is telling his tale, Welch reflects the apprentice's fears when facing monsters, his chagrin at his own foolish mistakes, and his triumph at overcoming evil. Welch is equally adept at conveying the wise Spook and hissing witches, often in the same breath. It seems strange that Welch gives Tom an American accent when all the other characters sound distinctly British, but the mélange adds to the otherworldly setting. This audio is a good choice to listen to on a dark and stormy night. M.M.O. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

From Booklist
The third book in the Last Apprentice series follows the same pattern as previous titles, even as it raises the stakes. Thirteen-year-old Tom Ward, apprentice to Mr. Gregory, a Spook who clears the countryside of witches, ghasts, and boggarts, accompanies Mr. Gregory to the man's desolate winter home. There's trouble in the Spook's cellar, mostly dangerous witches bound in pits, but even more disquieting is a former apprentice, Morgan, who has learned the secrets of necromancy. Morgan is harrassing Tom's recently deceased father from beyond the grave and will continue to do so until Tom accedes to his wishes. One of the best things about this well-written series is the uncompromising horror Delaney provides at every turn. However, although the terror level is high here, readers may be inured to some of the crashing and bashing that goes along with evil run amok. Better are the nuanced interpersonal relations, especially the relationship between Tom and his mother, who is off to fight her own battles against evil. Cooper, Ilene
