Seeker by Arwen Elys Dayton

As I sit here, cuddled under a warm blanket (the temperature here has plummeted AGAIN) and listening to what is undoubtedly my favorite song (Letters from the Sky by Civil Twilight, in case you were wondering), I literally find myself being forced into sitting at my computer and typing on this wonderful blog of mine. Not because I hate blogging. On the contrary. I actually love it, otherwise I would not do it.Obviously! It is difficult for me because of the content of this review. Seeker by Arwen Elys Dayton. 

To be 100% honest, I came THIS close to not finishing this book. To say I was disappointed would be a gross understatement. Seeker follows the story of Quin, a young girl who is training to become a Seeker, the newest in a long line of people who have sworn to protect the world from threats. After discovering seekers are no longer the honored position they once were, Quin must decide where her loyalties lie and if she can finally become the master of her own fate and save the people she loves.

This book had such a great premise, but a little under halfway through, I realized this was all it had going for it. The multiple perspectives had me confused as well as the different times they were in. I never truly understood where the story was taking place and did not develop a connection with any of the characters, not even the main protagonist. 

I know I am being EXTREMELY generous here, but I rated Seeker a 3 out of 5 stars. Do I recommend it? Probably not. Now, on to some more anticipated reads of February!
