Didn't like the characters, John in particular.

I wanted to like this book so much but I just could not get into it! I only made it a small amount in but I just couldn’t not stand it. When I wasn’t reading it I didn’t want to be reading it. I couldn’t figure out what time period this was in. It all felt very medieval butt yet there was flying cars. I just couldn’t not get through this book. Was not a fan at all.

This has to be one of the most hectic and confusing books I’ve read. The Seeker reminds me of Realmbreaker and not in a good way. I found that there was a lot of characters with their own stories that made it hard to keep track of and the original summary I feel got lost in the book itself.

Bad news first. I did not care about the stakes of the main conflict. I just did not. I would have been perfectly happy for the lot of the MacGuffins to get lost so the main characters could live on a farm in the middle of nowhere. The romance was blunt and graceless. The plot twists and broader contexts were mainly implied or not discussed at all.
Good news: I did care about the main four characters. John dropped off my list about halfway through, and Quin lost that special spark I so loved at the start of the book, so I ended up clinging mainly to Shinobu and Maud. But those two had fantastic character growth, so that was cool.
Basically, the characters were good, but it was difficult to get through the way their stories were or (mainly) were not told.

Yeah, so, this is over (DNF at 50%). Plot is just too complicated and weird for me. I hear it gets better after this point in the book, but life is short, man.

Oké, eigenlijk ben ik niet helemaal gefinished... Nadat ik rond pagina 200 bleef steken heb ik nog wat snelgelezen tot p 260, maar toen besloot ik om het niet meer verder te lezen. Het verhaal trok mij niet (misschien later wel?), en ik had gewoon geen zin meer om mijn tijd daarin te steken. (Ik begrijp ook trouwens nog altijd niet waar het precies over gaat, wat Seekers nu eigenlijk precies doen, en dat verwacht je toch wel na 200 pagina's...)

I saw an ad for this book that described it as Game of Thrones for teens, which made me want to read it immediately. However, it is NOTHING like Game of Thrones! I don't even know how to describe it...the first few pages makes it feel old, ancient oaths and all that, but then high tech weaponry and aircars are suddenly thrown in and it's kind of jolting. So it takes place in a futuristic Scotland and Hong Kong. I liked it enough to keep wanting to read to the end, but I didn't find any of the characters all that likeable and the love triangle was so cliche and tiresome. Of course it's a trilogy but I don't know if I'll be picking up #2 or not.
