Drea Talley is a Struggling Writer™ and Chaotic Good bard. The kind of bard that tells stories and sings, but doesn’t play an instrument because she gave up on the piano, was never good at the flute, and the guitar hurt her fingers. She currently lurks in the shadow of a mountain with the jomsviking she married and their tiny (in number, not size) horde. She likes tea, tiny cakes, and snark.
Seer of the Strait is a wonderful fantasy novel that kept my attention from start to end. I was instantly immersed in a clearly defined world that was beautifully rendered. The characters who inhabit this world are complex and interesting and develop greatly across the novel's story arc. Carys and Asil were both characters I found myself invested in, rooting for, and enjoying as they played their parts in the story. The plot of the novel itself is one of intrigue mixed with high romantic/sexual tension that drives the storyline forward.
