When I first started reading this book I thought it was going to be about vampires since the opening blurb says that it takes place shortly after Lure of the Dead. There’s even blood drinking in the first few chapters, but slowly I realized that Slither is not a vampire. At least I don’t think he is? I’m still confused. It doesn’t relate to the other books in the series until over halfway through, and even then, it seems a little far-fetched. A quick read, but not sure how the events in this book are going to effect the final two books. ( )

11th Last Apprentice book, with Tom Ward completely absent. Slither is a creature of the dark, with a bloodthirst; however, he agrees that upon the death of a local farmer, Slither will save the lives of the two younger daughters in return for selling the oldest into slavery. Along the way, honoring his bargain, Slither has to battle a mage and undefeated warrior before being forced into mortal combat to settle false claims against him. Grimalkin and Slither become unnatural allies, with Grimalkin still guarding the Fiend's head. 3.5 stars. ( )

I read the Joseph Delaney books (Wardstone Chronicles/Last Apprentice Series) out loud with my daughter. We really enjoy them quite a lot... I have to admit though, if you are used to that series you will find this one a very odd ball book amongst the rest.

Rather than following Tom and Old Gregory, or even Grimalkin as another book in the series did (quite well, I thought-- but I really like her), this book focuses on an entity of a type we've never seen. He can change size, is a mage, drinks blood and has a tail. Nope, he's not a human.

It's not a bad book, just VERY different. I'm not going to go further into the specifics to avoid spoilers other than to say, if you are waiting to see if it ever actually ties into the series, *yes*, it does. Towards the middle of the book.

This was enjoyable, but I admit I prefer the adventures of Tom,Old Gregory, Alice and Grimalkin. ( )

Warning: Contained unmarked spoilers. Too lazy to edit it out.

First of all, the book is not that scary unless I go and imagine it all at night. Yeah, I'm sooooo brave in the morning to afternoon. :D Second, as I've mentioned in my status, I keep on thinking about Beauty and the Beast. I know, gross but well, with Slither and Nessa being a bit chummy... One might think that it's like that. But I guess its not and if it is... Uh, gross much??

Third, Grimalkin... Have I ever mentioned I really like her even though she's a dark witch? I did? In I Am Grimalkin? Well, that's just cause SHE'S SO FREAKIN' AWESOME and KICKASS. I expected Grimalkin to show in here cause of someone saying that he read a review about Grimalkin being great which is totally true. But honestly, I forgot about her when I started reading this. I was absorbed by Slither's Tale.

Slither is a Kobalos. Er, in a normal language (Lol at that), he's a monster pluck out of your nightmare. But he's a... honorable one. He honors the trade, the promise Old Rowler made with him which made him a bit okay but still monster. :p

Oh! I had this idea when I was reading the book, I just know that Grimalkin would help Nessa once she's been sold. What I didn't expect was she'll turn Nessa! I mean, I should have know since she did that when they faced the Homo--uh, something, it's HAGGENBROOD!!! LMAO! and fight side by side. But my mind was set to thinking that Nessa would be sold and Grimalkin would COME and save her to reunite with Nessa's sister. So I was shocked like Slither.

A GOOD ONE! NICE Grimalkin!!! Liking you better than Tom Ward now. LOL. :P And finally! I catch up with the latest book! I'm so proud of myself! Aren't you, Glam and JP?! :D ( )
