If I'm being honest, this book wasn't as good as I hoped it would be, really I wanted it to be amazing and it just wasn't for me. Others might enjoy it though. The cover is fantastic.

I hate to write a bad review for a book that tries as hard as The Last Seeker tries, but I have no choice. I love YA fantasy and was looking forward to reading this book, however, at 72% of the way through I just can't go on any more.
The Last Seeker needs an editor and it needs one STAT. The first half of the book is nothing but set-up. Tristen does his homework, he takes care of his sick mother, he finally makes a friend, he sees a hot girl, he has nightmares. He has very weird nightmares that terrify him, but he tells no one. He goes to the beach with his class and saves the hot girl who he is sure he is in love with....for no reason.
Finally the supernatural part happens. But wait, they get transported across time and space and we get another 20% of chores. Argh. Seriously Fantasy novels are usually plot based. The Last Seeker has neither a real plot nor any character development. Everyone is pretty one-dimensional. I think the story has real potential, but it's not ready yet.
The Last Seeker by Fleur Camacho is one of those books that will stay with you. The main character is a boy named Tristen. He is this awkward and naïve guy that is extremely close with his family. He is the type of guy who will help whenever he is needed without being ask to. He is currently taking care of his sick mom. Tristen is horrible around girls and really does not have a clue when it comes to girls in general. One day he gets assigned a partner on a history project. This partner turns out to be Alley and he is terrified. No matter how frightened he feels this bizarre pull towards her even though she already has a boyfriend. But this pull does not feel like the romantic kind. Soon a new girl come to school and Tristen also finds himself drawn to as well. This friendly relationship starts off good but given that he has no clue when it comes to girls. This goes terrible wrong when the new girl is also placed in the same group for the history project. During the history project things seem to take a strange turn. Then all three of them find themselves in 15th century France with no clue how they got there or how to get home. This book as so many twists and turns that you are not sure how it will end. I found that the ending was a huge surprise to me. I loved it! ** I received this book free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.**
