Free eBooks: The Last Apprentice Pre-Orders

Back in June, Amazon.com had 10 of the books in Joseph Delaney's Last Apprentice young adult series (originally published in the UK as the Wardstone Chronicles) available for pre-order for free. They weren't available at that price for long, as it was most likely a pricing error; I didn't act quick enough to get all of them and only managed to order 9 of the 10 before the prices changed.

Those of us who were lucky enough to pre-order them for free weren't sure if they would ever be delivered, as the delivery date was pushed back several times, past when the books were released in the U.S. (Amazon.com honors whatever price was listed when you clicked "pre-order," even if that price was incorrect. If Amazon and/or the publishers don't want to honor that price, they'll sometimes just keep pushing back the delivery date indefinitely.)

Today, though, the books were finally delivered to my Kindle apps. Thanks to these pricing error pre-orders, I now have 9 of the 13 books in the series without having paid a penny.

Read on to see the descriptions of the 9 books I was able to snatch up.
