skylacine's review against another edition
3.0
It does a few things better than most books this arc (less repetition of conflicts, no more traveling, some good character development) but there's also lots of things holding it back. Too many unmemorable characters, Lusa gets forced last-minute into a poorly written romance, Nanulak returns but absolutely nothing is added to his character...
I'd say this is a decent book but it's really nothing more, not a strong ending to this two-arc series.

A great series I would recommend to anyone, but kind of a letdown at the end.

Beware of spoilers.
OH. MY. GOSH.
THE FEELS ARE STRONG WITH THIS ONE.
THE FIRST ERIN HUNTER SERIES EVER TO...END?? ARE YOU KIDDING??
I THOUGHT I WOULDNT CARE BECAUSE SEEKERS HAD BEEN BORING ME FOR THE PAST FEW BOOKS BUT THIS ONE MADE UP FOR EVERYTHING.
Okay, let me regain my composure. THIS IS IT. This is the end of Seekers. It's been, what, 7 years? It's bittersweet, because it's such a unique series, but unfortunately did not get the same amount of popularity that Warriors or even Survivors does, so the series had to end. But did the Erins deliver!! They went out with a bang, seriously. THAT FINAL CHAPTER THOUGH. Like, not going to spoil everything but...I have never read an Erin Hunter CONCLUSION before, so I was shocked to see that the final chapter was a true epilogue...a true chapter that takes place in the future. It was so great, and so sad!
Okay, now for the actual review. The bears separate into their respective groups, but still secretly meet each other, of course. Each of the main characters has a role to play: Toklo is like the general, always leading in the right direction, Kallik provides guidance, and Lusa is the healer. The Erins did an excellent job of telling this story in multiple perspectives. It all wove together perfectly. Now, with the past 4 Seekers books before this one, it took me close to a month (or even two) to finish a whole book because I was bored. But...this one...took me two days. And, if real life didn't get in the way, I would have finished it sooner. You can't put it down. Do yourself a favor, Erin Hunter fans, and READ IT.
Thank you so much to the Erins for creating and maintaining such a beautiful, unique series about a great animal. I love bears now and, being a nature lover, I love the settings painted in Seekers. I also love how the Erins weren't afraid to show how much humans wreck the environment...all through the bears' eyes. As I grew through middle school and now am in college, Seekers grew with me. Now it is time to say goodbye.
