Let's start with fact that I thought this would be a fantasy book. It's not. I should have read the blurb before I started the book, but I have a tendency to just pick an ebook and read, so my bad!



Instead it's some kind of futuristic world. Perhaps a parallel world. So this is more steampunk than fantasy. Which would be fine with me of the story had been good. I should have followed my instinct and stopped at 20%, but I was tenacious and continued instead.



We have three young people training to be Seekers, Quin, John and Shinobu. One girl and two boys. See the problem? WARNING LOVE TRIANGLE!!!!!



Apparently Quins's father doesn't want John to be a Seeker (even though he for some reason have agree to train him?) and fails him and after that everything goes to shit! Also, Quins and Shinobu realize that being a seeker wasn't the glorious thing that had hoped for instead it's a nice word for hired assassin and now they are pissed off.



Around 70% I stopped care and more and more skimmed the book, just to get through it. There were some kind of fighting towards the end (whatever) and perhaps a cliffhanger, I don't know. I just didn't care anymore.
