My review/thoughts on Seventh Son by Joseph Delaney. (This particular version contains both book 1, The Last Apprentice: Revenge of the Witch & book 2, The Last Apprentice: Curse of the Bane).
Star & Spice Rating: ⭐️ 4/5, 🌶️ 0/5 (for both books)
TWs: There's a bit of gore in Curse of the Bane and the description of a dead cat.
Judging a Book By It’s Cover: Nothing too special about this one, just the movie poster cover. I'll give it a 6 out of 10 just because Ben Barnes is on it.
✨📖Review📖✨
"I've just given birth to a baby boy,' she wrote, and he's the seventh son of a seventh son. His name is Thomas J. Ward, and he's my gift to the County. When he's old enough we'll send you word. Train him well. He’ll be the best apprentice you've ever had, and he'll also be your last.'"
This is a book that I wish I had found in middle school. (I hated reading then, but I think I would have really enjoyed this series and I think it would have gotten me into reading sooner.) That’s one thing to keep in mind before you start reading this, it’s certainly a book for young adults (I would say around the ages of 12 to 16). I wouldn’t consider it young adult in the way that ACOTAR or Shadow & Bone/Six of Crows is considered young adult. So it's probably better to consider it "middle grade". It feels like a good introduction to fantasy and has a very easy/simple reading style to it. Tom Ward, our protagonist is 13 after all, and at times his thought process and the sentence structure feels like it reflects that. (It took me a minute to adjust to this style.) Another thing I would warn readers of is not to go into reading this expecting what you saw in the Seventh Son movie; it’s very different. The characters feel different and they were aged up for Hollywood.
I can’t quite explain it, but both of these books (especially the first one) gave me a “classic fairy tale” type feeling? I think part of it is the little dashes of advice or morals that are sprinkled throughout the story. Things like:
"Trust the voice inside you. It's rarely wrong,” or “—as my mam once told me, you never know just what you can do until you try. So I'm going to try. I'm going to try just as hard as I possibly can because I want her to be really proud of me.”
I found Tom to be sweet, brave, and he has some pretty great morals for his age. There were times when I felt bad for him, when he would come home from his apprenticeship and he was treated differently by his family (tough love from his strong mother and contempt from his older, and in my opinion, jealous brother, who I absolutely could not stand and rolled my eyes at any time we had to deal with him.) I enjoyed the slight eeriness of some of the situations that he ended up in, and I can actually see this series potentially getting a bit darker as it goes and as Tom ages. I look forward to seeing what kind of man (and Spook) he ends up becoming.
TL;DR: this makes a great entry fantasy book for young readers, and I enjoyed it even as an adult!
Thank you for reading! If you liked my review/thoughts, consider following me on [GoodReads], [Bookstagram], or [Threads]! (I tend to post on GoodReads & Threads first!)

Taking someone's cigarette out of their mouth: Multiple meanings - used a lot in media to convey control, power play, very masculine, I'm your boss and this is mine now, get over it. Mildly flirty, look at me, all in your space and shit, seductive. You're not allowed to smoke, because I say so.
Putting the cigarette back in their mouth afterwards: Ground-breaking. Would be less erotic to just fuck honestly. Who does this?
