Seventh Son: The Spook's Apprentice Film Tie-in by Joseph Delaney

1.0

Definitely a book written for young boys, and definitely not a book I’d recommend to anyone. The plot was rather boring but gruesome, and the book described women as untrustworthy, unpredictable and distracting. It also had themes which suggested that most women were witches and that men (the Spooks) had the power and responsibility to decide what happened to the women. It was an easy read and said interesting things about how we all have the capacity for good and evil, but those were essentially its only redeeming features. There were also some interesting morally ambiguous characters, but they weren’t terribly well developed. I don’t like being so critical of a book, but I really didn’t like what this book said about women, and the plot and writing style were not enough to redeem this book for me.
