The End, Rena wrote on the calendar square.

Rena Abrios, the only living seer on the planet of Anyari, has her most horrific vision yet - she foresees the apocalypse.

Soon, nearly every human on her peaceful, technologically advanced planet will die. Rena even knows who’s behind it: philanthropist Alvun Merak.

This type of prophecy can’t be averted. Despite that, Rena believes her sister, 17-year-old Ellin, is meant to fight it.

The more Ellin learns about Merak, the more alarmed she becomes. He’s funding an archeological dig with mysterious, world-ending potential. Ellin, her boyfriend Trett, and Rena scramble to stop him.

But Merak’s wealth and power may make him unbeatable. And the seer and her sister know that fate is the fiercest enemy of all.

Will anyone survive the prophesied apocalypse?

The Seer’s Sister is the exciting sci-fi prequel to The Magic Eaters YA fantasy trilogy. It’s a full-length novel that can be listened to before or after the trilogy or as a stand-alone. If you like imperfect characters worth rooting for, villains with dark secrets, and in-depth worldbuilding, then you’ll love Carol Beth Anderson’s heart-pounding tale.

Content note: The Seer’s Sister contains scenes of abduction and captivity, along with plot lines relating to cancer and death, including discussion of a child’s death.

In The Beginning

This was my first experience with Carol Beth Anderson's work and it was great! I enjoyed the story very much and I recommend it to others who like this genre. I'm looking forward to reading the series as it promises to be quite exciting if the prequel is any indication. Carol Beth Anderson's narration is excellent as she adds an emotional depth for her characters in her performance. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily left this review.

A great prequel to the magic eaters series

This was a great book. It was a little different reading this after already reading the magic eaters series. I still was hoping for a certain outcome. And man I really got upset at some points in the book at the ignorance of a certain man. But it really helped push the story along.

The main characters were really fun the follow. The ending was perfect. And hearing what the little girls name was perfect after knowing the main character in the main series.

The narration was really good as well. I'm usually skeptical of when authors do their own narration. But this one was spot on.

Great narration and a decent storyline. Worth it!

Carol did a fantastic job narrating this book. I always have mixed feelings when an author reads their own story, because typically it's terrible, but she did excellent! Story-wise I enjoyed the majority of the novel. Great characters, easy to follow dialog, and a story obviously building toward a bigger series. A bit too much emotional teenage angst and flippancy for me but I'm not the typical target audience either. Overall well worth the credit on Audible!

All the feels. Excellent Quality.

Really well narrated. Great voices. Loved the story. Had some great twists and feels.

The science felt well-reseached and even the hacker stuff felt better done than on other books I've read (which is great because it didn't pull me out of the story for being way off).

Looking forward to the rest of the series. Excellent start.

So good!

Since this is a prequel, it took me a minute (maybe a couple of chapters) to reorient myself to the timeline. I had in my mind that this was about one of the seers in books 1-3, so once I was in the right timeline, it made so much sense and was SO good! I honestly couldn’t stop listening.

There’s so much suspense, up until the very end. You think you know what will happen (especially since it’s a prequel) but then something else happens…and how does it really happen…to whom does it happen? These questions all kept me listening nonstop. It was a two-day listen for me, but only because I had to sleep. -_-

To be completely honest, I’ve had this book in Kindle form for several months, maybe a year? But my eyes are lazier than my ears, lol, and I much prefer to listen to books. My hands stay too busy otherwise to sit and read anymore, kind of sad. That being said, I’m super happy that this came out in audio version.

I’ve listened to every fictional book by this author and she continues to get better and better, this was the best performance yet!

In full disclosure, I did receive a complementary copy with the understanding that I would give a completely unbiased and honest review, which you have just read. 10 out of 10 recommend!
