“SEEKER is EPIC–a truly imaginative and entertaining YA Fantasy/Sci-Fi novel. Talk about some serious world building and a fascinating mix of genres. There was a little bit of everything going on here: high fantasy, science fiction, maybe even steampunk…? I’m in awe. Arwen Elys Dayton, you made it work girl!”

“Every time I think I’m through with fantasy novels, I read one like Seeker that renews my faith in the genre. Seeker is everything I love about YA fantasy: a strong heroine, a well-developed cast of characters, a unique premise, and a fast-paced plot.”

“You need this book in your life. . . I cannot wait to see what happens in the next installment. I am left hanging on the edge of my seat because I know the next book is going to be explosive! And I mean the kind of explosive you know was coming after Katniss found out about the District not being dead!! Yes that explosive!”

“At its heart, however, this story is a dark coming-of-age tale that examines three different responses to the disillusionment experienced when lies of childhood are revealed as frightening truths of a really messed-up adult reality.”

“A fantastic job was done by Arwen Elys Dayton in creating characters and a book we could love and follow through an adventure far more exciting than our every day lives… and a little more dangerous!”

“Epic fantasy from start to finish… What better way to help a young reader learn the joy of imagination, than by giving them a tale that is not instant gratification, but a journey to a final end that cannot be seen?”

“While the plot delves into darker issues than many YA novels, Seeker stands alone as a tale of loss, PTSD, and a quest for personal justice and understanding.”

“Wow…okay this book immediately interested me. . . I’m a sucker for cool, unique weapons and a whip that turns into a sword fits that description perfectly.”
“The truth is that coffee and I care about each other very deeply and we will always be good friends and have lovely memories of each other, but we’ve mutually decided that we should live apart for a while.”
“The most important part of becoming a writer is to write a lot. Write a lot, and don’t worry too much about what you’re writing at first. Just write.”
