5.0 out of 5 stars The Apprentice grows up 19 Oct 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
As this only appeared on my Kindle yesterday and I have already finished it, it is clear that this falls into the page turner category. In this book Berren very definitely grows up and, as is usual for the lead character in a Stephen Deas novel, life is pretty tough. Plenty of action all the way through. The only problem is that I am ready for the next one now!!

2.0 out of 5 stars rushed and unconnecting 17 Feb 2013
By Fif
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
the pace was walking for most of the novel until the end where it was clear the author wished to finish as soon as possible.

the ending was tragic and the climax was the unvalling half way through the book.
Deas obviously picked the last few chapters out of the blue with a unsatisfying fight scene and out of character movements so you had a bad villian speech.

if you enjoyed the first novel just leave it at the second book.

any ending you can imagine would be better than Deas's dreadful effort.
