  <default_description>&lt;p&gt; The Last Apprentice series follows the terrifying adventures of the Spook's apprentice, Thomas Ward. But Tom's is only one story. There are others. . . . &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; The Spook himself was once an apprentice. How did &lt;i&gt;he&lt;/i&gt; begin his training? &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; And what of Alice, the young witch who is Tom's closest ally? How did she overcome her dark past? &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; What did the witch assassin Grimalkin do to become the most deadly and feared witch in the county? &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; And, collected in a gallery of horrors, discover the rest of the county's menacing villains and relive the vicious battles waged against them. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Enter a land where creatures of the dark creep out of the shadows. Do you dare? &lt;/p&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Delightfully horrid as usual, but lacking in the depth and breadth of others in the series. This is a quick mash-up of one-off short stories that attempt to fill in the background of some of the major players, like the Spook's early days.

Someone reading this book without having first read any of the series will definitely be motivated to start!

    <body><![CDATA[This is one of those extras in a series, there to provide the reader with some background to supporting characters.  It was just okay.  I don't find that it provided many clues to the character of the Spook or Alice, two of Tom's greatest allies.

    <body><![CDATA[As with the other books in The Last Apprentice series, I liked this book.  It is kind of an intermission book...mostly stories about the characters introduced in the series.  Most of it I already knew but it was a fun read anyway.  Looking forward to the release of the next book!]]></body>
