the seer and the sword by victoria hanley

After my nostalgia read of The Seer and the Sword earlier this year I decided to finally pick it up. Review: This has been sitting on my shelves for about 10 years without me picking it up. Together they must confront the powers that prey upon their world. The destiny of these four people are intertwined.

So much so that I finally decided to continue with the series and actually finally read the second and also buy the third book in the series. If I read this for the first time in 2022 I would probably be more critical about, but while I was re-reading my nostalgia kicked in and was set to “happy and enjoy” and for this, the book delivered.

I also know that in my teens I read The Seer and the Sword quite a few times. I remember how much I liked this in my teens and that is like 20+ years ago now. Review: I think it’s hard to review a book that you have so much nostalgia with.
