Last Apprentice Series books 3-5

Night of the Soul Stealer, Attack of the Fiend, and Wrath of the Bloodeye by Joseph Delaney, 500, 546 and 516 pages

          

Since I have so much trouble talking about book series without giving anything away from previous books I have taken to combining chunks of them together.

These are books 3-5 from The Last Apprentice series in which we continue to follow John Gregory's apprentice Tom Ward. In these volumes we learn a lot about the various types of witches and supernatural beings in the world along with a large part of John's past. Tom also has the misadventure to meet up with two of John's previous apprentices. I especially enjoy the debates about the struggle between the light and dark. Does doing dark to help the light make you dark or not? That seems to be the main question the next couple books will decide

So far its been a good series, though Delaney seems to keep creating stronger and stronger dark creatures foe them to beat. If this keeps up this series might slip into the absurd.
