Usually I don't like these type of books, but I picked up this book because my Mom was reading it and she kept raving about how cool this book was. I figured ok, I would read it. I figured for the price, I would try it. I read this book in THREE days!!! I was awestruck in the details that the author provided and how wonderful it was to be able to be sucked in by the story! The twists and turns were so unexpected that I would never have guessed them when I can normally guess other twists in other mysteries! I would highly recommend this story to anyone including reading it to children as I read it to my eight year old daughter! She loved it! I hope they make a sequel to this... Im dying to see more!
P.S. This book ended up bringing my Mom and I closer as we have more to talk about so thank you VERY MUCH!
Excerpt
All morning she wove between wagons and booths, absorbing all of the fascinating sights and sounds. Every once in a while she drifted back to the miner’s wagons, but Lor seemed to be doing fine for the time being. Just past midday, the musicians came out and played on a platform set up for that purpose. Some of the trading slackened while people ate, listened or danced. It would pick up again by mid-afternoon. The day had been fascinating. She spent a quarter mark on a hot meat roll and a fruit blintz and worked her way to the cider seller and filled her cup for an eighth mark. She was sitting against a wagon wheel at the edge of the crowd, eating the last of her hot fruit treat when she caught a mental gust of… malignance.
It wasn’t the Seeker, but it was similar and the person was here. She brushed the crumbs off her shirt and licked her fingers while casually looking about. Keeping her door cracked open just a bit, she got up and moved around the crowd watching the musical performance. She paused here and there trying to locate the source. After awhile, she pinpointed two men standing between a booth with fresh rolls and the dancers. She drifted over to look at the rolls, keeping her back to the men. They were talking about having difficulty finding people.
“How does he expect us to identify these people? It’s not like they are wearing special guild badges,” said the man with a brown beard.
“We knew the job would be difficult when we joined up,” replied the one with a dusty hat. “It is a matter of talking to people and finding who they consider the good folk that seem wise and have been around awhile. It is not an exact science. We might make a few mistakes. So what?” He shrugged. “I think we were right with Auntie,” he said with a satisfied chuckle. Erin could feel a sinister kind of satisfaction coming from him.
