This week's review is The Seventh Son by Joseph Delaney which is the first and second book of the Last Apprentice series.
Only the Spook has the knowledge and skill to face ghosts, bind witches, and bargain with boggarts. Now he needs an apprentice—Tom Ward, who is the seventh son of a seventh son. Other apprentices have come before. All have failed, or fled, or died. Will Tom learn what they could not? Can he trust anyone, even his one true love? He will find out—and soon, for the dark is getting powerful, and the Spook's time has come. Will Tom survive to carry on his master's battle? Will he be the Last Apprentice?

Seventh Son
I was pleasantly surprised by this book. It wasn't what I expected at all. I thought it was going to be some silly imaginary war story. Kind of like a bad Lord of the Rings. It was actually nothing like that, at least in the first two books. It was kind of spooky and they fight off different types of evils. I quite enjoyed it. It was simply worded so it would be great for a younger child. It really goes into depths about different creatures out there. Some situations seem impossible to get out of but they always manage it like in most books. This book really shows evil comes in all forms. The main character is strong but an outcast and kind of a jerk. So we don't have a perfect protagonist. (yay!) And finally no romance story line! How often does that happen? Rarely! There is a lot of gore and specifics of rituals though. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars.
Happy reading!
