The Last Apprentice (Book 6)

The Last Apprentice by Joseph Delaney was an interesting read that brought out the sci-fi lover in me.


The main theme of this book is learning who to listen to most, your master or the ones that care most about you.


The style of Delaney is very interesting. The Last Apprentice is set in the past so some of the words used are old but are very easy to understand. This, to me, makes Delaney seem to be a great author. Delaney does not do a tremendous job of describing the characters and places in the book but the lack of excellent descriptions takes nothing away from the book.


The characters in The Last Apprentice are interesting. Most have odd things about them that make them very individual and special. For example, one character is part witch and another is a spook or defeater of the dark. The characters added to the book's excellence.


Delaney does an okay job of describing the characters in The Last Apprentice, but this book is the 6th in the series, therefore most of the characters have already been described in earlier books. However, the new characters are excellently described. The characters also add to the excellence of the book.


Tom's mother left to return to her homeland, Greece, to help keep things under-control. Now, she has returned and needs Tom's help in her quest to defeat the Fiend, the antagonist of the series. However, if Tom chooses to help his mother his master will never allow Tom to return to him as his apprentice. Tom, is now faced with a decision that could affect the outcome of his constant struggle with the dark.


The Last Apprentice is like many science fiction novels because the book has many super natural and fictional beings. This book does not relate to me on a personal level because I have never really had to deal with some of the problems Tom faces.



I would recommend The Last Apprentice by Joseph Delaney to any hard core science fiction lover or any one open to a new experience.
