Warning: this book is not the upcoming film adaptation (Seventh Son, 2015)! The book is an excellent coming-of-age story. Nuanced, building from innocence to taking responsibility. It is suspenseful at a YA level. It is not full of monsters like the movie trailer shows. ( )

Action

Fantasy

This is a very short and fun book.

Nothing really new about the setting or the story, very average.
1. Boy goes away from home.
2. Boy gets with a mentor.
3. Boy starts to learn what will make him famous later.
4. Don't forget a girl / potential romantic interest.

Very good opportunities for follow-up stories.

I kind of see a Dresden Files vibe, hope it goes as well. ( )

The story and characters were interesting but not compelling. I doubt I will read any of the other books in this series. ( )
