The Last Apprentice: Lure of the Dead (Book 10) by Joseph Delaney
4.0
This was my first time reading this book, and I loved it! I've been thoroughly enjoying the series, and this book delivered to my expectations. Tom Ward is starting to grow into his future role as a spook, and it was gratifying as a reader to see that start to take place.
The Spook, Alice and other wonderful characters that Delaney has created for this series are again prominently featured-and they have the flawed, dark, grit that I enjoy so much in this series. These books are messy-both with the characters and the plot, but never with the writing.
I highly recommend this book, but I encourage readers to start at the beginning, or at least with a previous book-context could be missing if you start here, and I think your perception of the quality of this book would be affected.
