Seekers (Mud, Rocks, and Trees Book 2)

Last updated on June 25th, 2018

Seekers (Mud, Rocks, and Trees Book 2) is a great continuation to the series filled with adventure, action, and plenty of wonder.

The Good

• Interesting story
• The story under “Mud” was captivating.
  • The other stories were good, but, in my opinion, it seemed the author was most excited about “Mud” or “Trees” because of how the two stories converge.
  • The false idolatry imagery was interesting
• As with the first in the series, Refugees (Mud, Rocks, and Trees Book 1), Seekers had great detailed writing.
  • “It had started out pleasantly enough. I was a marbled duck sitting in a bed of swaying reeds surrounded by my flock. as the wind blew across the tops of the reed, it had created a mournful sound. When I looked up, the clouds above me formed an inviting puffy white throne. But then everything changed…”
• Like the first book, there were strong Christian themes throughout.
• While the last book made me wonder, I had no issues with the Christian theology in this book.
  • Probably the most creative Christian Fantasy book I’ve read with strong Biblical themes.
    • Christian themes woven into the characters lifestyle: not preachy.
• Overall, this was a nice clean book with a realistic representation of violence and idolatry, without glorifying it.
  • I believe this aspect is important, so instead of shielding people from sin, show the darkness of it, and then contrast the darkness to the “light”, which in this case is a god named Adon.

The Bad

• The struggle is real with self-published authors an editing. It’s expensive to edit a book, and often through rounds of editing, different issues could be missed. That being said…
  • I do not remember as many editing issues as with the first book, but there were quite a few obvious errors in the first quarter of the book. They don’t bother me enough to hurt a good story, but the mistakes might bother some.

The Unsure*

• N/A

*My opinion: what I didn’t care for or do not prefer. This will not lower a rating unless it overly distracts from the story.

An excellent read and if you’re interested, check out Seekers (Mud, Rocks, and Trees Book 2) on Amazon.
