Attack of the Fiend The Last Apprentice Joseph Delaney Patrick Arrasmith Books Reviews
- I first learned about Joseph Delaney when my son saw the ads for Seventh Son (Movie). I decided to read the books. Attack of the Fiend is the 4th in the saga. Tom Ward's family is in trouble. Witches have taken them hostage. The ransom is three trunks Tom's mother had left for him. They are bewitched, and only Tom can open them.
With giant towers, three families of witches joining to work together, and the threat of summoning the Fiend . . . Tom, the Spook, and Alice, have their work cut out for them! And, as always, time is of the essence.
While the movie was so-so, and hardly like any of the four books I've read so far (except for the names of characters, and some slight similarities to plot), I am enjoying Delaney's books. And will continue reading The Last Apprentice series ... (I have all 13 books).

Author of YOUNG BLOOD and DAMN THE DEAD - To Date, I have read books 1 thru 5 of the series back to back and I am about to read book #6, CLASH OF THE DEMONS. Althogh, I simply love all of them,thus far, THIS IS THE BEST ONE! I highly recommend this series! I am an adult who enjoys a wide variety of subjects, FROM Twlight, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Jane Austin books, Mysteries, Horror, The SOOKIE Stackhouse Series, Historical Romance TO Paranormal Romance and I anticipate that this is a series that will be added to my "frequently reread collection."
I do wish that Spook would "lay off" Alice. All of us battle with good and evil within ourselves but I think that one has a better chance of overcoming the evil tendencies by being surrounded by a loving and supportive environment. His banishment of Alice is akin to "throwing her to the, proverbial, wolves" thereby decreasing her chances of choosing that percious "LIGHT" He is always going on about!!! SPOOKS' world view is apparently limited to black and white but I think that before this series ends that hopefully he will discover that "gray areas" thankfully do exist.
My favorites character so far are Tom, Tom's Mom and Alice! I THINK THIS WOULD BE AN ENJOYABLE SERIES FOR MOST AGE GROUPS, BUT MAYBE NOT FOR THE VERY YOUNG, BECAUSE THE VILLIANS COULD BE A BIT TOO SCARY FOR THEM BUT THAT TOO WOULD DEPENDS ON THE CHILD. ) - This is the 4th installment in the Last Apprentice series. Toms Mam has returned to her own land to deal with the evil brewing there. She always said she would return after Toms father passes away. She left to him her special room containing her 3 trunks. This is the room where Tom and Alice were told by Mam to come to for safety only if their very lives and souls are in jeopardy.
Tom and The Spook have decided to go to Pendle to deal with the witches once and for all. They have heard rumors that the 3 witch clans are trying to unite to raise the devil himself. The clans are being prodded by none other than his Mams life long enemy. Will Tom, Alice, and The Spook be able to stop them? Will they discover what is in those trunks or what exactly Toms Mam is? Read this awesome book to find out.
I have said it before but this series just gets better with each installment. I love the fact that Alice and Tom are strengthening their friendship despite the warnings from The Spook. The imagery, writing, and everything about this book is on its A game!
I highly recommend this book at middle school aged children al the way up to adult aged children (at heart)!!! - Books are good, storylines are easy to follow, not too many characters. Book is written from 1 persons view so dosent bounce around from character to character. Not a hack and slash type storyline, but still filled with alot of action. Books are too short could easily combine 2 books into one.
- This book in the apprentice series was my second . I had many points I really enjoyed,such as the lamia witches that came to Toms aid. And the room that Mam somehow managed to make as a protective space( a shelter of sorts) However there were other points that needed to be better addressed, I feel. Such as all of the belongings in the trunk left to the apprentice. As well as the other things in Mams room. Why did Mam leave knowing Tom would be facing his greatest fears. I would have liked to see the apprentice do something alittle more about the fiend,after all that's what the book was titled.
- I have other things to read but I can't stop myself I keep coming back here. I can't get enough of Tom Ward and his bristle master the spook. Now that there has been major developments with his family I need more. The new enemies he has made are fascinating and seem to be worthy opponents. And the new prophecy will it be Alice, will she love him, betray him and die for him or someone else? I am hooked there are too many outcomes and hopefully good stories to come.
- This is the best book by far in the series. Tom Ward is coming into his own as the Spook's apprentice which is good because old Gregory seems to be fading. (In fact, Delaney hints that Tom will be heading off to do an internship with another Spook in the next book).
The mythology in these books is first rate although I think practicing witches might be disturbed with being stereotyped as haggard looking crones. In "Attack of the Fiend" three covens band together to raise the devil himself. Tom avoids being killed but now the fiend walks free. No doubt to cause more mischief in future Tales of the Last Apprentice.
And I'm looking forward to reading all of them. - Bought for my son who is trying to acquire the entire set. These are new and nice, exactly as described! Glad I ordered, highly recommend!
