Editorial Review: Product Description:
Thomas Ward has spent two years as the Spook's apprentice. He's faced unimaginable peril, and survived. But a new danger has emerged: an ancient water witch, Bloodeye, is roaming the County intent on destroying everything in her path. To strengthen his skills, Tom is sent to the far north to train with the demanding Bill Arkwright. Arkwright lives in a haunted mill on the edge of a treacherous marsh, and his training methods prove to be harsh and sometimes cruel. Will Tom's new bag of tricks be enough to overcome a critical mistake that leaves him confronting Bloodeye on his own? Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Creepy and fun for all ages!Thomas Ward is a young boy serving as an apprentice to the "spook," a sort of wizard who is training him in the ways of magical arts. When an ancient water witch, the Bloodeye, emerges, Tom must use what he has learned to save the local towns from peril. The plot and the characters were truly engaging and quite entertaining, which I didn't necessarily expect from a children's book. The action and dialogue maintained a very well-paced read that made the book difficult to put down. Read More Rating: - Good, but not the place to startI didn't know this was part of a series when I got the book. I was a little lost from the get go. It's definitely not a stand-alone book. The black pages with white writing at the start gave the book a dark mood before I ever started reading, and I think this is probably a book I would have liked if I had read the prior story. So, I think this book is worth reading if you enjoy light dark fantasy (hmm... light dark? Should that just be medium?). But it isn't an appropriate starting ... Read More Rating: - A Good ReadI didn't realize it until I started reading it, but this is not the first in a series. Oops. However, the author did a good job of making inference to events to help us new readers learn how each character figures into the story. I know I'm missing a lot of references to events in the other books but it has made me interested in picking up the series from the beginning and catching up to this book. I do wish I had done that to begin with and recommend that action to anybody else interested in the ... Read More Rating: - Best book in the series so farI discovered Joseph Delaney's young adult dark fantasy/horror series The Last Apprentice this past summer. Over the last few months I've barreled through each installment of the series and have yet to be disappointed. Delaney gets better with every book, and the series' fifth novel, Wrath of the Bloodeye, is no exception. Bloodeye picks up where Attack of the Fiend leaves off. The witch clans have brought the Fiend (the "Devil himself") into the world and he's after Tom. In order to protect ... Read More Rating: - From J. Kaye's Book BlogThis has to be the best series I have ever read. My middle son says it's better than the Harry Potter books. Both of younger kids (one girl/one boy) are in love with this series. In the Wrath of the Bloodeye, Tom is captured by a some really bad guys recruiting boys for an army. After this encounter, The Spook sends Tom to Bill Arkwright, an old apprentice of the Spooks, thing get harder and harder. For one there is a dangerous water witch out and about, Morwena. It's also said that she is ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
