Book 1 of The Wardstone Chronicles or The Last Apprentice
by Joseph Delaney
Revenge of The Witch
Rating: 5 out of 5
I'm glad I read this book in my lifetime.
too much in my mind *confused*.
okay, to sort things out, first the characters.
Tom Ward is a simple boy. he doesn't know anything about the real world and that, makes him more vincible in The Dark. he's lonely without his family and desperate for a friend but he learns things and he is capable to adapt in any dangerous situations though it seems more difficult with his naive mind (he's a kid after all).
I'm so want to hug this character! he's what you call it a real-life character!
Spook. I thought, the spook is more open up than other teacher-apprentice novels, like Darren Shan, but I can't blame him for being so strict.
he gives Tom a warning though he doesn't say the reason, that's a mistake to do to a kid. they won't do what their teacher asks anyway. but maybe because he doesn't know Tom well so he doesn't tell the reason and witches, is still a long way for Tom to learn.
Alice. she's torn. her aunt is abusive, yet she doesn't know how to escape. how could she anyway? her aunt is a witch! she can do anything bad to her! she doesn't have much chances.
poor her, I thought she is a good kid in a bad family.
Bony Lizzie. certainly, she cares about her grandmother. yet certainly, she doesn't care much about her niece.
Mam. mysterious? wise? okaaay...
Madam Malkin. I never expected that she stays in a (what? Pig killer?) body! but I can't help thinking how could Tom senses Madam Malkin? that guy comes to Jack's house after few days, there's not much chances Tom senses her!
plus, does Pigs eat meat?
Jack, he is an annoying older brother. I know how it feels, seriously.
The story.
it's well written, I don't even get any headaches reading this book though I read the english version and usually a fantasy novel has more difficult phrases to read.
I like how Delaney describes everything. okay, it's too hard to describe how much I love this book.
The Dark, witches, and everything fit perfectly in this book and I can't see the gaps on them either. maybe I was blinded, but whatever. I like the myth!
for some things, I imagined this book is in England, in 1600+ or so when witches are accused and everything.
there's something I can't understand, why does Tom and Spook go anywhere walking? sure, it's healthy but certainly riding horse is better and they don't have to stay so much nights in the woods.
plus, Tom goes alone to his house though it's far and he has to walk for days! if that happens to me, I'll be scared for the beast, bad guys, wild animals, or bees.
for the truth, I rarely give 5 stars for a first book in a series and I was thrilled about the next book, giving how cool this book was.
