All the main characters seem to miss the boat when it comes to landing the girl or guy (or wizard, dragon, seer, or demon) of their dreams. The cities and mountain villages come alive through the many sweeping word pictures.įor me, the major theme of this novel was star-crossed love. In Seer, O’Scheen describes the settings of Marithe with exquisite detail. It only means I will now have to go back and enjoy Dreamer again. Being a stickler for continuity, I wondered why the two books were reversed. The reader is given an insight into how the problems between dragons and humans came about as well as the origin of the morgith – neither human nor dragon, something in between. Seer, takes us back in time from O’Scheen’s first novel, Dreamer, to tell a story of how a few of Dreamer’s main characters came into the world. I recommend it for those readers who love dragons, spell casters and wizards, demon kings and beautifully, exotic women who sing like angels or are prey to visions of what may or may not come to be. Seer – Patrick O’Scheen’s second book in the Chronicles of Marithe is an exciting, page-turning read. Today, I will share my review of Seer, Book Two in the Chronicles of Marithe. In the first post, I linked back to a review I did of Dreamer and I reposted an interview done with O’Scheen.

Welcome to part two of a three post series on the work of self-published author, Patrick O’Scheen. This business of a seer is to see and if he involves himself in the God-eclipsing activities that make seeing impossible, he betrays the trust that his fellows have tacitly placed in him.
