Didn't read the last part, the Glossary of Villains. :P Cause it's like a spoiler. So I don't wanna read it and will just read the series. :)

The tale of how The Spook starts his own apprenticeship, a glimpse into when Alice first encountered Mab, and the history of Grimalkin.
Didn't add much of substance, but an interesting glimpse into the lives and histories of some of our favorites from the series. (Of course, I'm more interested in Gregory's story about why he left the priesthood but, as we're told, that's a story for another time... )

I wish Alice's story concentrated on her years with Bony Lizzie instead of her time in Pendle in Attack of the Fiend (book #4); and that Mr. Gregory's story told about why he quit the priesthood instead of just his first encounter with witches. Grimalkin's story was new to me, but I suspect I will learn more about her in future books, where she plays a more prominent role than she has so far. These stories pass time, but they don't provide any real unknown info.
3* = I Liked It.

Completely unnecessary addition to the series, with a simplicity that can only be described as spoon-fed.

Kind of disappointing. It's like the author couldn't think of a full length book so he just cobbled some stuff from previous books together and added some background info on a few of the characters in the series. Very fast read since it's so short.

If you’re a die-hard fan of all things ‘Last Apprentice’ (more like *cough* Tom & Alice *cough*), do yourself a solid and read these!❤️

Repeats of passages from I am Grimalkin and the other books. The other two short stories were just bland
