Recently I saw the movie trailer of the Seventh son which was based on the book series The Last Apprentice by Joseph Delaney.
The trailer didn’t resemble the books whatsoever. If you have read the books
and have seen the movie trailer you would know what I’m talking about. Because
the trailer did not look like it was based on the book. It even took me several
times to watch the trailer to see any similarities between the books and the
movie. Although I am not that appreciative of the move I am glad that they
finally recognize the book as movie worthy. But still I would have liked them
to put more of the book into the movie. But I can’t judge the movie before I
have yet to see it. I just hope it’s not like what they did with the city of
Ember movie because I loved the book but hated the movie. It didn’t make any
sense like in the book and the story line was really rushed and there was no
sense of character.
But anyway this blog isn’t about the City of
Ember movie is it now. But instead it is about the Last Apprentice Series.
There are only thirteen books of the series and I have recently found out and
that really makes me sad because this one of my favorite book series. But you
know what they say “all good things must have an ending”. But anyway I actually
have yet to read all thirteen books but I have finished up to number ten. But
right now me ‘m a nearly a quarter of the next book Slither. I have also read
the A Coven of Witches and The Spook’s Tale: and other horrors and both are
Short stories. Also I have read the Spook’s Bestiary which is an encyclopedia
of all creatures and entity’s inside the series.
This a really good series but back on the subject
of the movie trailer. Is that it was describes seventh son of the seventh son
as Knights in an old order that fight incredible evil. But in the book it
starts out that Tom Warden who is a seventh son of seventh son was given to Old
Gregory as his last Spook apprentice. And unlike the knights shown in the
movie, Spooks are seventh sons of sevenths that have the ability to sense the supernatural
and they used this ability to capture malevolent witches, unease the dead and
stone boggerts. I was disappointed with the knights’ part but at least the
movie had the characters from the book in there even if there not exactly alike.
But I do wish if they had Grimalkin who my favorite character from the series.
I mean who doesn’t like Grimalkin. I mean she is a witch and an assassin and a
total badass. But anyway I think this all for now on the Last Apprentice and
its new movie. I just wonder if I’ll be able to like it since it seems very
different from the book but who knows I might come top like it.
