Chronicle of the Seer #4
Respectant
The Circle has betrayed Codrin, helping Aron to escape Severin like a thief, and Saliné is now his captive.
All the Wanderer Hives now know what the Fracture will bring to the continent: a new nomad invasion led by Baraki, the Seer of the Serpent, and the man who killed Codrin’s family. They will be aided by Meriaduk, the High Serpentist Priest, who is able to command the Talant artifacts: tools that allow communication at a distance, and weapons that kill through the strongest armor.
As predicted by Ada, the most powerful Wanderer, Dochia has finally arrived in the Sanctuary of Nerval and met the mysterious, invisible woman named Ai.
While Codrin, the new Seer of Fate, tries to free Saliné and unify the Frankis Kingdom, Dochia is on a mission to close the Sanctuary. It is a long journey, filled with danger and no promise of success.

In the fourth book in this series -- though apparently not the last, as the final segment is a preview chapter for Book 5 -- Florian Armas continues the epic fantasy the author’s been crafting for several volumes now. In many ways, this is traditional fantasy adventure material, right down to the maps to fictional lands that open sections of the book and the mystic portents of horrible events ahead. The characters have personality and the book opens strong, so it’s not difficult to get into. Not a lot to say that hasn’t been said about previous volumes. If you like Tolkien or George R. R. Martin, you’ll likely have fun with this, as well.

Love this series. Vol 4 is a solid follow up and enjoyed it as well. Can't wait to see what happens next! Keep them coming.

This 4th book in the Chronicle of the Seer pentalogy advances the tangled conspiracies, power struggles, and political and military maneuvering from books 1-3 as Codrin and Saliné struggle to achieve their goals.
With a lot going on, this story is told from several different viewpoints, including some new characters. Much of this one is the same as the previous books as regards the considerable number of characters and different plot lines. Reminders of details about the main characters and some of what went before were handled well, with little interruption to the story's flow. But reminders were less effective, or absent, for many lesser characters. The story did resolve some of the tangled plots, making its ending satisfying, while still leaving plenty for the next book.
Unfortunately, however, just like the previous books in the series, the pacing stumbled sometimes over typos, missing and incorrect words, odd phrasing, and random tense changes. The many characters made following who was who confusing, although there's help in the form of a list of characters in the appendix at the end. And as in the previous book particularly, antagonists were still invariably obsessively molest-y.
Despite these issues, I did find the story itself engrossing. It’s one for fantasy fans who are following this series and can overlook the roughness to enjoy complex and entangled intrigues, with just a touch of magic.
3.5 stars, rounded up
