Seeker by William Nicholson

ibazel's review

Well, the entire reason I decided to put my old list of books on this website is because my friend and I had a conversation about how frickin weird these books are, so I guess it's got that going for it...

I thought the beginning was a bit slow, but too interesting to put the book down, but honestly I thought about quitting the book.
When it got to the middle it picked up like a lot, I really think that what happened in the middle should have been closer to the beginning, and having whatever was in the beginning squished together into 5 chapters.
The ending was absolutely amazing. It was brilliant with all the separate life-threatening problems each of the characters faced, especially when everything fit together perfectly in the end.

I realized that I read this a few years ago but forgot to add it. This book was like a buddhism meets star wars meets lord of the rings story. It was very interesting.

This isn't a bad book. I liked the idea of it, but simply could not get into it. The characters are intriguing, but they did not evoke any sympathy in me. The most interesting part was probably the first scene where Seeker screws up his exam on purpose. Then the author lost my attention.

This is the first book in The Noble Warriors series. The Nomana protect their god and his people and once a year new Nomana are selected. Seeker for Truth wants to follow in the footsteps of his brother Blaze of Justice and join the Nomana. When he is not accepted and his brother is cast out of the Nomana accused of being a traitor, Seeker decides to follow his brother and prove his innocence. While on the road he becomes involved with two others who want to be Nomana: Morning Star and the Wildman. They decide if they can destroy a weapon designed to destroy the Nomana the group of warriors will accept them and Seeker can redeem his brother. An interesting series that should apply to boys and girls alike.

The Nomana, the Noble Warriors, are under insidious attack from another city, and three young people from very different worlds fight to save them. I grabbed this off the library shelves because I really loved Nicholson's "Wind Trilogy". Unfortunately, it's not as good, a bit more heavy handed and rather silly in parts - I had to keep reminding myself that it was a YA novel and not to be too hard on it. I found it to be a little mediocre.
