4-6Last Apprentice series.
Illustrated by
Patrick Arrasmith.
The supernatural (and human) threats remain as fierce and deadly serious as in The Revenge of the Witch, and as challenging to apprentice Tom's growing skill at confronting them. Delaney does a fine job of presenting a stand-alone story while inveigling readers into both going back to the first book and eagerly awaiting the third.
