A review by hidusty
Seer by Ted Dekker

3.0

Overall, I enjoyed the Eyes Wide Open episodes. The series left me guessing most of the time which is fun but I expected a wild conclusion to book four and ultimately I was left wanting.

I spent the first three books feeling that our protagonists were in great danger and as episode four plays out and our characters encounter someone new, everything changes. All of a sudden the danger is absent and it never returns. Instead it's an all out sprint to the unsatisfying end.

In truth, SEER, felt safe. It felt rushed. After the pace and danger of books 1 - 3, I just expected more. And it would seem that the unsatisfactory ending is so abrupt because it is, in fact, just a beginning. A new series begins called Water Walker: The Outlaw Chronicles. It would appear that at least some of the characters from this story will continue in that book.

I just wish I would have known that this was more or less a "prequel" or "stand-alone" book in a larger series. It may have helped me deal with that ending a bit better. I would have known not to expect a conclusive ending because it was just a jumping off point.

So that's my take on SEER. It's probably the weakest of the four episodes. But as a whole, it works for what it is.
