A review by spiderstapdance
Seeker by William Nicholson

4.0

I first read this book several years ago, before I knew it was part of a series. It stuck with me in the hazy places of my memory, and in fact I was astonished how much I remembered once I started reading it again. This is due, no doubt, to Nicholson's immense talent of description: he makes you see really see the scene without slowing the plot down. The world is fully realized and the characters are enchantingly entertaining. However parts of the plot and characterization felt a little rushed, particularly the ending. I suppose that is why this is the first of a trilogy and not a stand alone book.
