    Loving the series!
  

*by P***I on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 1, 2015*

I enjoyed the third book in the Last Apprentice series. Winter is coming. It is time for the Spook and Tom Ward, his apprentice, to leave Chipenden and head to Old McGregory's winter home.This was a very revealing installment in the series. We get to learn more about Meg, a witch from the Spook's past. We also get to see Meg's sister. These two women are very dangerous witches. The problem is Meg was someone the Spook cared about. He's never been able to bury her the way she should have been buried.In the cellar of the winter home the Spook has three witches locked up behind iron bars. When they get out, Tom Ward must figure out what to do next . . . Only the trouble doesn't stop there. Morgan, one of the Spook's old apprentices (an apprentice the Spook had to fire), is trying to conjure great evil from the depths of Hell.Morgan wants Tom's help -- and blackmails the young apprentice. Morgan instills doubt about the Spook into Tom's mind.Facing dangerous witches, an evil ex-apprentice and growing doubt about who he can trust, Tom Ward finds himself to trying to figure out what is what, and who is who . . . With the help of Alice, a witch his age, a friend he is conflicted about having (since his job is to capture, bind and bury witches), Tom moves forward, out of childhood (thirteen years old) into young adult hood.A great story. I love the visits to Tom's family. The friendship between Tom and Alice, and the numerous dangers that are constant between the pages. Joesph Delaney writes very simplistically, but does not hold back on the darkness and horror. So far, the series is quite entertaining. I will now move on to read, Attack of the Fiend, Book 4. . .Phillip Tomasso,Author of Damn the Dead and Blood River

    Beware of girls wearing pointy shoes ...
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 18, 2007*

With this dark tale of supernatural mayhem, Delaney has launched a fine fantasy series that should appeal to kids and adults alike.  Initially the pace is leisurely. Delaney doesn't rush in setting up his dark story world and introducing a cast of intriguing characters: young, earnest Tom, the seventh son of a seventh son; his enigmatic master the Spook; Alice who wears pointy shoes and can't decide whether to choose the side of darkness or light; the tame boggart that cooks their meals and appears from time to time in the guise of a ginger cat; and Tom's wise and mysterious Mam.The monsters, witches, ghosts, and evil boggarts bring in plenty of complications soon enough as Tom begins his apprenticeship with the Spook.  This isn't the Hogwarts brand of training, and you won't find the humor or occasional zany misadventures that are served up in a Harry Potter book.  Instead, the tone stays serious as if Delaney doesn't want us laughing at the ghasts that haunt the night, lest we let our guard down too far.  Tom spends a lot of time digging holes of the proper dimension to hold boggarts, and if that seems spun out a bit too long, be patient.  Delaney's pacing in this book reminds me of a Hitchcock movie, slow and leisurely at first, but before you know it he's got you by the throat and you don't want to put the story down, especially when Tom has to confront the scariest witch I've met in recent fiction.I'll also add that the second book in this series, THE CURSE OF THE BANE, opens with grim, hair-raising urgency.  But read NIGHT OF THE SOUL STEALER first.

    This series gets better and better
  

*by K***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 12, 2017*

Delaney's The Last Apprentice series gets better and better with each book.  It's interesting watching how he is growing as an author with each book.  He consistently delivers a fast paced, intriguing story, and Night of the Soul Stealer meets that standard.  He is also growing the characters finally and we learn more about what make these characters tick.  That was one of the biggest flaws of books one and two.  This book is also different from the first two because The Spook is incapacitated much of this book, so Tom gets to act more on his own.  It's interesting seeing how he is growing in confidence just as one would expect of a 13 year old boy.  I would have liked to have seen a little more of Alice in this story as the only drawback.  Without her, this story is possibly less interesting for girls, which is an important part of the audience as young adult fiction.  It's still an interesting series which I will continue to read.
