The Spook's Mistake

Wow!!!! That was simply one of the best twists I have ever read..........again Book One and the rest leading to Book Five, they were just the appetizer, these little bits and pieces, you feed to a fish, until................they are just swinging back and forth from your fishing tackle.........

Book Five, Tom was sent to one of John Gregory's former apprentice who has now become the Spook for Northern part of the land, a land of water, marshes and canals, as usual with anything, humans adapt to their environs and well, so do the witches and the evil creatures found there, Chipenden had witches, ghosts and other land bound evil, The North had water witches and selkies, wraiths and others..........

Bill Arkwright one of the few apprentice who became a full fledge Spook, but that is where the similarity ends, John Gregory as a person or Spook will always follow his rigid code, be they be against fellow humans or the evil that festers his world, Bill on the other hand is different, where John Gregory adheres to a principle of “no using of anything or anyone that comes from the Dark”, Bill uses whatever he can that helps, another difference, he does not mind a little bit of cutting and bruising to toughen apprentices, Bill has a story that made him the kind of Spook that he is now and Tom manages to change him.

Book Five for me right now is one of the best, the addition of so many information to the lore of Last Apprentice!!!
