That aside, I didn't have any difficulty following the plot and even saw some of the 'secrets' and plot developments coming a mile off. I'm only giving 3 stars as, although it was well enough written, even by the end I didn't find I cared enough about any of the character to wonder what would happen to them next. Even those that I think were supposed to be sympathetic to the reader I really couldn't care about; the book inspired no sense of empathy.
From other reviews on Amazon some people are really enjoying this series, but for me it was lacking in emotional engagement.

Had a bit of itch to play this ever since the remake was announced and i dove right back into it and to this day it still holds up far be it the graphics are dated, look past this and you have a game that has hours of game play (over 12 hours if you play at a decent pace and don't go for everything the game has to offer. Even speed runners struggle to beat it under 9)
If you like turn based games or tried the later final Fantasy games I recommend giving this a go, this made games we play today tell great story telling.

Still, good frocks, and many incidental pleasures to be found, especially amongst the supporting performances. Saoirse Ronan doesn't quite dominate the film as you might imagine; Margot Robbie is at least as impressive in a rather smaller part. In the end it's kind of okay if you just like costume dramas, but it doesn't really bring the story to life.
The Story focuses on a young 13 yr old boy who is the seventh son of a seventh son, which is a rare and special thing in this world, which catches the attention of a spook, someone who vanquishes evil (for a price).
The spook takes the apprentice under his wing in an attempt to train him as a possible successor.
As I write this there are 10 books in total that I am aware of and I have only read this one (but own books 1,3 & 10?)
I highly recommend giving this a read.

Not sure where to start on this review without giving too much away...
Firstly Reynolds pulls off yet another solid performance. He is obviously still making up for his failings as Green Lantern!!! There is just something about this man and lethal weapons that leave me panting (in anticipation)!
6 unlikely people band together for the soul purpose of overthrowing a horrendously evil dictator, but there is a whole movie full of planning and action before the final scenes happen!
The opening car scene is awesome! The fighting and action scenes are also incredible, and kind of gross, hope you’re not squeamish... and of course it comes with the Reynolds humour, so expect a few giggles.
Good casting, well directed and acted. An overall rather enjoyable film!
