Seventh Son by Joseph Delaney

Seventh Son (The Wardstone Chronicles) (Last Apprentice)

by Joseph Delaney

'Someone has to stand against the dark. And you're the only one who can.'

For years, the local Spook has been keeping the County safe from evil. Now his time is coming to an end, but who will take over?

Many apprentices have tried . . . Some floundered, some fled, some failed to stay alive. Just one boy is left. Thomas Ward. He is the last hope.

But does he stand a chance against Mother Malkin, the most dangerous witch in the County?

“I like to keep my books in my library, he said, 'and I like my library to get bigger rather than smaller.”

The writing was a chore to get through. I started this with such high hopes but 100 pages in I realised I would have to persevere for the remaining 500.

Full review to come soon, I'm too tired to think properly at the moment.
