I read the first two books in this trilogy a few years ago, tried to read the final book and could not for the life of me get through it. I picked it back up this year for the sole purpose of finishing the series and it was a hard time. Especially because I didn't remember a lot of the story line from the other books (though I also only moderately enjoyed them too). I don't really have much to say about this book/series. It was okay, but there are definitely better fantasy series out there that feel more coheiseve and rounded out. The Seeker series felt like fantasy crossed with sci-fi and a bunch of other random elements; it didn't work for me. It felt like the author was trying to do too much and couldn't just pick one genre to stick with. Also can't get behind the third cousins romance...when I read the three year time jump at the end I physically cringed.
