YALast Apprentice series.
Illustrated by
Patrick Arrasmith.
With its usual dark magic and darker illustrations, this series-ender sees Tom Ward achieve several of his original goals. But the defeat of one problem creates a worse one, and a jump to the future raises even more questions, including questions of shifting loyalties. Fans will be pleased that the Last Apprentice ends up promoted to Chipenden Spook at last.
