A review by booksatdawn
The Last Seeker by Fleur Camacho
4.0
I was contacted by the author and asked to read her novel in exchange for an honest review and my thoughts. And I'm glad she did, because I probably would not have come across this great novel if it wasn't for her.
So this novel isn't your typical fantasy YA story. It has many different elements to it that surprisingly work together. The story starts off with major character developments way before you get any fantasy elements. At first I felt the story was just starting so slow and dragging on. At one point I was just like, "Oh come on! Where is the excitement and fantasy?!" But I kept reading.
And as I kept reading I started to connect with Tristen even more. I started relating to him, and he was bringing back memories of when I was in high school. It has been a long time since I read a story that didn't start out with the fantasy elements, so I forgot what it was like to relate to a character on a real life level. And this book reminded me why I love to read.
I now understand why this novel is in a different league of its own. Fleur knows how to develop characters and not many authors can do that. Most authors have the high intensity content but characters that lack relate-ability. (I think that I just made that word up or spelt it wrong.) But this book has characters you care about, and that are invested in.
Now I can go on and on about the characters, but there is so much more to the story. A boy who has the ability to go back in time to save the lives of influential people we learned about in school. A great premise of good vs. evil. Evil wants to eliminate all the good these people will do in their lives, and good needs to protect them from being erased from the history books. Very clever and intriguing.
Fleur Camacho knows when to let little bits of information here and there through out the novel, always leaving you screaming for more. So it's no surprise that you are left with a huge cliffhanger in the end. While you wait for more of the story you try to put together the bits and pieces of story you have. She makes you crave for more, and I love that. Even right now I'm trying to figure out that ending. It can go in so many different directions that I'm dying to know more!!
So I talked about the amazing in depth development of the characters, the premise of the fantasy plot line, and the writing style that leaves you want more from Fleur, so I guess that only leaves me one more thing to say. What are you waiting for?? Get out there and read this book, you will honestly not regret it! I'll sit here and wait. Come back and lets talk about it. :D
