Seekers: The Winds of Change

De: Troy Knowlton

Narrado por: Andrew D. Meredith

After an assassination attempt that could lead to an all-out war, Tyras and Oren, two young Seekers of the Argan Empire, are each given secret missions in an attempt to thwart the coming chaos. Both tasks require the Seekers to venture through the war-torn continent of Tiarna, where the young men face mortal danger, horrible monsters, and hostile groups–all challenges Seekers are trained to combat.

Luckily, the two Seekers also find guidance, friendship, and romance along the way. However, powerful and mysterious forces are conspiring behind the scenes, and both Tyras and Oren will have to overcome a host of obstacles, including their own inner demons, in order to maintain a glimmer of hope for success. With war imminent and the unknown ahead, will the Seekers triumph, or will they be swallowed by the turbulent, relentless Winds of Change?

Set in a new, masterfully created high fantasy world, Seekers: The Winds of Change is perfect for fans of An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir and We Free the Stars by Hafsah Faisal.

Quest Fest!

This story follows two Seekers, men who are part of a calling and who take on quests for their masters. The two main characters weave in and out of each other's stories and each tell of a quest they are embarking on. The story was very fast paced with lots of good fighting scenes. The world felt lived in and the emotions invoked were strong (it almost made me cry!).

My only bit of criticism for the book is that there are parts where I felt the author did more telling than showing and parts where it felt a tad rushed. The pace of the book was really fast and smooth, but sacrificing the pace a little in order to let a scene really stretch out a little more and take hold of the reader's imagination would have been a good trade off.

Overall, I really enjoyed the book and recommend it to anyone who likes a bit of an adventure story!
