    About this audiobook

    This first novel in the Noble Warriors sequence begins when sixteen-year-old Seeker's older brother is publicly humiliated and—with no explanation—exiled from the Nomana, a revered order of warrior monks. Seeker refuses to believe that his beloved older brother is capable of committing a betryal that would warrant such severe consequences, so he sets off alone on a journey to rescue his brother and find out at last what really happened.

    Along the way he meets two other young people who are on quests of their own, and in a shocking turn of events, the three are soon caught up in a harrowing and bloody race to save the Nomana—and themselves—from destruction.

    An epic coming-of-age story about courage, friendship, desire, and faith, Seeker marks the beginning of a riveting new series.

      I liked the book overall but I found myself losing interest at times. Not enough to stop reading, but I felt myself wishing something captivating would hurry up and happen. Those captivating moments do exist witch saves the book, it just takes a while to get to them.

      An interesting story

      I made it half way, then the suspension of disbelief just died a horrible, painful death and I can't continue. It's just too absurd and outlandish, even for a fantasy. I started with the hope of finding a gem in the rough text, only to realize I'd dug up pyrite instead.Just from an editing point of view, it moved way too slow. Chapter seven should have been chapter one. Of the first 8 chapters, it should have been condensed to 3 because there is too much backstory slowing the pace. It skips among too many characters to make the story consistent until chapter fifteen when many of the main characters are in the same scene, the same spot. Then they all separate again. Plus you get secondary characters with POV chapters that really don't need to exist through the point I stopped. Maybe they become more important later, but the storylines are so jumbled it's hard to tell.Then we have some of his descriptions. What does this guy listen to for some of these? Since when is FLOP a good description of a paper hitting a desk? I can vaguely see bump for a monastery bell, but it still suggests something muted to me. Just doesn't feel right for the world he's building.Reading this reminds me a lot of reading a script, though with attempts to fill in details between the dialog and scene/set descriptions. The paragraphs of description read like someone trying to describe a play set up. Just not wonderful prose. Doesn't really fulfill the full details of what the reader sees either.Really not something I'd recommend.

      Seeker is the first novel from William Nicholson that I've read, and after reading it, I don't particularly feel the need to read any of his other novels. Nicholson is very heavy into world building and spent a good bit of time on the backstory about the Nomana, or the noble warriors, who dedicate their lives to the Nom, the All and the Only. This backstory, unfortunately, is poorly developed, not particularly interesting and really drags. The characters are just abysmal. All three of the main characters, are poorly drawn out, not compelling and add little to the story. The Wild Man character may be the single worst character that I have ever encountered in any book I've ever read, and I have read a helluva lot of books in my day.The three characters go on a journey that seems to go nowhere. Seeker of Justice, the main character, is trying to find his brother, Blaze of Justice, who is purportedly a traitor. Another annoying aspect of this novel is that the character names are ridiculous. I can't really think of anything particularly redeemable about this novel. My only piece of advice would be to stay away. Life is too short to read bad novels.Carl Alves - author of Blood Street

      Sometimes drive, and faith/trut is all you have in yourself. sometimes it is enough to help you survive, but it is always much easier if you can find others with a drive like your own. Meet Seeker, Morning Star, and Wildman. Three very different 16 year olds, all from different backgrounds, and with different ways of seeing the world, but all with a drive to see things put to right. The Nomama have protected thier world for years, but now, and unseen threat is coming. and the only ones who can prevent it are our 3 young adventurers, who were turned away from the Nomana when they presented themselves to join and become Noble Warriors.

      I absolutely adore Nicholson's work, so I may well be biased I admit. It gets 4.5 as I did not find it as captivating as some of his other works. But yet again he has created a unique world and great characters. The plot starts slowly, introducing you to the protagonists first, then builds to an exciting finish.He's done it again! Will look forward to the rest of this series.
    • 5/5
      Seeker is a very interesting book. Different in tone then most young adult books as none of the young adults in the book are whinny which is a plus to the book in my opinion. The writing is very stripped down and straight forward like most of the characters. This style makes the story very compelling to read, as least it did for me. Morning Star is a fantastic character with fantastic lines. Its good to see a strong girl who still acts like a girl. All the characters are quite different and interesting. Overall, a fun new series.
    • 5/5
      I loved this book. Highly evocative, with strong characters simply drawn, and a plot that steadily gathers momentum. Nicholson is a master of his art.
