If you read the other books in The Last Apprentice series, this is a great book to complete your experience. It begins with the spook's tale of how he came to become a spook apprentice. Other stories include a story told by Alice about how she escaped the Mouldheel prison. The last story, my favorite, was told by Grimalkin, the witch assassin. It explained how she became the Malkin clan assassin. It was filled with action and excitement. Overall, it was an interesting book that I would recommend to anyone who has read the Last Apprentice series.
