What time period was this? Who knows.
What is a Seeker? Who knows.
Why is no one explaining things to me? Who knows.
I got over halfway through the book. I could see the light at the end of the tunnel, but I was so pissed off about things. The writing is excellent. Don't get me wrong there. It really is good. If it wasn't, I would have quit before this. Also, the characters are good. They are engaging and I wanted to learn more about them. But, then it comes to the storytelling/worldbuilding. Oh, there was worldbuilding. I just couldn't tell you where the fuck we were or what time period. At some points, it was medieval. Then it was modern. Then it was fucking dystopian. There was one mention to time there. Maud, the Young Dread, said it was 1570 or thereabout. So, I looked up about opium bars since Shinobu started going to them. Well... those were only popular really in Victorian times.
I didn't understand what anything was anymore. Like, it was to the point where I knew I couldn't do this anymore. Couldn't read it or try to piece together. Before reading this, or even requesting it, I read a few reviews about it. And everyone basically said the same thing I did. There is no explanation. It's as if the author just said: "Follow what's in my head when I wrote this." And, I can't do that. Because I don't see the connections you're making whatsoever that made you to create this cult/club/assassin squad that is a Seeker.
