The Seeker: The Seeker 1

Product Information

I kept reading this actively thinking: "I'm missing something huge here, what happened?" Even hoped I wasn't the only person who felt like chunks of the story were missing. Am I comparing my mother to the particularly nasty breed of mercenary that Quin (our MC)'s father Briac is? Because of being a seeker of Truth Richard will wield the Sword of Truth. This sword will provide to its wielder additional strength and agility but nevertheless, it will also instill great anger. During his journey Richard Cypher will have to fight the forces of evil, having to defeat the wizard ruler of the Midlands, Darken Rahl.

Game of Thrones meets Hunger Games, though, this is not. High fantasy this is definitely not. Terribly false advertising and more of a measure that people need to stop making high expectation comparisons like this when they don't even halfway meet the book's actual establishment. I will actually tell you what this book is about when I have the chance to write the full review. a b Lloyd, Robert (October 31, 2008). "Legend of the Seeker". Los Angeles Times .

Steenbergen, Diana (November 10, 2008). "Legend of the Seeker: "Bounty" Review". IGN . Retrieved November 18, 2008. Despite the love triangle, I liked this book a lot. I can see why it has so much attention surrounding it, especially with the movie deal occurring before the first book is published. I'd recommend this one to epic fantasy readers who don't mind a more sophisticated kind of fantasy story. I'd almost say that this book resembled an adult fantasy fiction novel more than YA, but the age level is YA. The night Quin Kincaid takes her Oath, she will become what she has trained to be her entire life. She will become a Seeker. This is her legacy, and it is an honor. As a Seeker, Quin will fight beside her two closest companions, Shinobu and John, to protect the weak and the wronged. Together they will stand for light in a shadowy world. And she'll be with the boy she loves--who's also her best friend. Stubbornly, she'd rail at me, demanding I do things "b/c I said so" (<------not a reason), and equally stubbornly, I'd demand to know why . . . and despite her having all the power, and my stubbornness resulting in constant groundings, I never stopped demanding to know why I should or shouldn't do a thing.

a b "Sci-fi trilogy "should be filmed in Scotland" ". Daily Express. January 25, 2015 . Retrieved July 16, 2021.Holmes wanted faith to be a central theme in the series, which manifests in the form of the bears having a very close and spiritual connection to the environment. Holmes states that she drew a lot of inspiration for this aspect of the series from the beliefs of various Native American tribes in the area that Seekers takes place and their relationships with the environment and the land they live on. She grew particularly interested in Inuit culture and the societal role of a shaman, someone with the ability to transform into different animals. This inspired the character of Ujurak, a bear with the ability to transform into any animal he wishes, including humans. Holmes said she thought it would be an interesting opportunity to portray the human world as seen through the eyes of an animal. [2] In the city, coffee houses are springing up, fashionable places where men may meet to plot and gossip. Suddenly they are ringing with news of a murder. John Winter, hero of Cromwell's all-powerful army, is dead, and the lawyer, Elias Ellingworth, found standing over the bleeding body, clutching a knife.

Alexander Ludwig as Will Stanton. The seventh son of a seventh son, Will is the descendant of Thomas Stanton who created the six signs. The youngest male in his family and born with special powers that reveal themselves on his 14th birthday. The powers of The Seeker. At first he seems inexperienced and prone to emotional overreaction, but in the end, he saves the world from The Dark. Ludwig also plays a small role as Will's twin brother Tom who was lost, taken by The Rider when he was a few weeks old. He was freed after Will defeated The Dark. But I am explaining why I have a hard time being sympathetic to Quin and Shinobu (her cousin . . . sort of . . . )'s situation. For the role of Kahlan Amnell, Raimi credits Tapert for finding Bridget Regan, whom he saw on one of the audition tapes they received. Raimi thought that she grounded the fantastical situations by being "very human and real", and recalled, "I was moved by her and I believed her and I thought we couldn't ask for anything more." [12] Like Horner, Regan had not read the books prior to the audition. [15] Horner and Regan were brought together for a "chemistry reading" in Los Angeles, upon which the producers concurred that they had found their two lead actors. [12] Filming [ edit ] Kevin J. Wilson as General Egremont – Lord Rahl's most trusted adviser. General Egremont has never double-crossed Rahl and will even lay down his life for him.Not only was the plot incredible, so were the characters. Because the story spans over such a long time, there is a lot of character development. I can honestly say that by the middle/end of this book, you wouldn’t recognize half of the characters. My favorite ones? Shinobu and Maud/the Young Dread. Those two characters were the most fascinating to me. I fell in love with Shinobu’s character and story!

This book could have been so very good. Great premise and the characters aren't bad. It's that I can't figure out what the hell is going on. You have the main character Quin that is training to be a Seeker. What is a Seeker? Who the hell knows. I thought at first it was something good..then it seemed like it was something bad. I never got my answers..so I'm a shallow gal and it pissed me off. Then her love interest John knew what was in store for her..Did he tell her? Nope, Nada, Nil. I don't like that John. *insert mean look*a b Jeannette Catsoulis (2007-10-05). "Film in Review: 'The Seeker' ". The New York Times . Retrieved 2008-05-30. A bloody murder. An open and shut case?
