Review: Seeker by Arwen Elys Dayton

Seeker by Arwen Elyse Dayton is an imaginative cross between the modern world we know, the past we fantasize about, and a futuristic technology we wish for. Seeker is full of action and adventure with a bit of mystery and romance thrown in for good measure.

The main characters are true to life with both good and bad sides in full. It makes the reader sympathize with them while at the same time wanting to shake them for doing the wrong thing. It is this mix that makes these characters more real and three dimensional.

 I look forward to seeing what Arwen Elyse Dayton does next.
