The world was fascinating. The author didn't cheat with the seer's ability to see the future. The characters are solid and interesting.

One of those books that began really well, but started sputtering about midway through.
I mention in particular never seeing the meeting between the Queen and Marisol which might have been fantastic, when instead we spend page after page on the Seers monotonous flight.
Everything eventually collapses into self-parody when she decides to go back, Marisol coming with her (despite knowing her presence could be detected)
A good book could be written about trying to capture a seer, attempting to close off all possible escape routes into the future. This is not that book.
