Starting a new high school is nerve-racking. Discovering a dark secret can be deadly.

Everything he shared with me that night sounded crazy, but hearing my father verify an integral piece of the puzzle left me trapped, imprisoned between two realities.

Elara Dunlin never imagined how much her life would change after moving across the country at the start of her senior year of high school. On a cold and fateful night, a mysterious visitor from Elara's past reveals a family secret that turns her world upside down. Can she trust the man with the piercing blue eyes? Family ties are broken, and boundaries are crossed, leaving Elara stuck with a tough decision. Does she continue living a normal teenage life, or does she take a leap of faith and jump into a world she never knew existed?

Fans of Sarah J. Maas and Leigh Bardugo will get swept away in the first installment of the award-winning series, SEEKER OF TIME. Filled with twists and turns around every corner, this epic adventure leaves the reader on the edge of their seat, longing for more.

Kim Falconer (aka AK Wilder)
5.0 out of 5 stars Oustanding Debut
Reviewed in Australia on 19 February 2021

I had the pleasure of listening to this book on Audible, narrated by the author. Her voice! It was a fulfilling experience to hear the story told to me, and told so well. Seeker of Time is a debut novel and it radiates all the freshness and vitality that only a well written First can have.

The three protagonists are diverse in character yet all connected, all relatable in their own unique ways. The story rips along... a real page-turner.

I found myself back in high school one moment, immersed in classes, worried about boys and the brunt of popular girls' sarcasm. The next moment I'm embracing a higher purpose, drawn into another planet's destiny, one that make existence a matter of life and death.

Full of well orchestrated contrasts between the ordinary and the supernatural, I cheered loudly for Elara and I think you will too.

And that ending?

I know only one thing for sure: As soon as I post this review, I'm off to buy the next book in the series.

4.5 out of 5. A most excellent debut novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantasy you'll never forget!

This story took me by surprise. I've been wanting to read it since a year ago, and oh boy, it was such a great read!

We meet this very normal teenage girl, Elara, living her normal life with her parents until they move from Maine to Houston, where she meets the attractive popular guy at her high school, Cyrus, and a young man who has been following her since the day she arrived.

A series of incidents begin happening to her as she reaches her 18 years old. Elara notices the new reactions in her body, especially when she's around Cyrus. (NO, it isn't what you're thinking!)

Everything unfolds for her when she finally and formally meets her mysterious and handsome stoker Jax, who conveys her the truth of her origins. This discovery will shift her perception of life as she decides to accept her new traits and allows Jax to train her on her new powers. Now, she needs to tell Cyrus about their secret connection and how they're related to each other, no matter how crazy it may sound.

Between a Lunin and a Solin, Elara will have to choose staying on Earth or returning to Aroonyx, where she belongs, and assume her mission to save her own people.
I hate to spoil this awesome story, so I'll shut up, but be sure that every chapter you read will be a delicious bite.

I loved Buckler's writing style. It's accessible, well crafted, and easy going. I especially liked the shifts between events and places which felt very natural, and the descriptions were in their sweet spot without becoming a nuisance (you know how I hate long descriptions). I found the author's voice unique and fresh, and the pace was perfect. I didn't find myself bored or crawling between the pages in despair. I other words, I was so engaged with it all!

You'll find the characters very believable. Buckler did a great job crafting their personalities as she showed through Elara and Cyrus's actions, emotions, and thoughts their personal traits instead of having someone telling what they were. However, I'd have loved to know more about Cyrus's life, but I understand that the story was from Elara's point of view.

Also, it was very thoughtful to have a teenage character thinking compassionately towards her parents and being considerate about them. Finally! This should be an example for the common troops of teenage characters seeing their parents as total annoying people who never understand their drama.

I can't wait to dive into the second book, Stillness of Time, and find the answers to all the questions in my head about the three characters and their adventures.
Seeker of Time deserves a 4.8 stars review!

My first encounter with this book was an audio book. J.M. Buckler does the audio book herself and I found I couldn't stop listening to it. Naturally, I purchased the paperback version of this book to keep in my home library and I read it again when it arrived. This book is fantastic. A great YA book that I was hooked on from the beginning. The characters are unique and intriguing each bringing their own set of characteristics to the table. The ending left me on the edge of my seat immediately grasping for the next book in the series. So glad I read this book and found this author! A must read if you are into YA fantasy.

I picked up this book after I had come to know J.M.Buckler through her Insta stories and becoming interested in the world and stories she spoke of when reverencing her work.

Going into the book with both the knowledges hat it is a debut novel and with high expectations non the less these are my thoughts.

The beginning both managed to capture my attention and intrigue me to keep reading and confronted me with a few ... clumsy passages (some repetitive phrasing or weird was do describe simple things).

I immediately felt a kinship to the main character of Elara — there were multiple occasions were my brain went “Omg, SAME!!” and I can also tell, that some of those notions and opinions probably stem from J.M. herself and it just gives the characters an even more authentic and real feeling to them.

Generally I would say that the book is fairly fast paced and easy to get into. I also didn’t experience any points in which I felt inclined to put down the book and not take it up again to continue reading.
(I finished it in two evenings.)

Some bits are fairly predictable, especially if one likes to read books in the genre - because let’s be fair fantasy books all *kind of* follow the same pattern.

The way the story plays out and the way the sequel is set up (!) is quite smart and feels really natural.

My only concern would be that sometimes I felt like characters unnecessarily spelled out conclusions I could have drawn on my own but considering that ist is YA (if I’m nit completely mistaken) it’s target-audience-appropriate in that way. This doesn’t mean older readers can’t enjoy it as well — I did, and I’m technically older ;)

I’m excited to continue this series, especially as I understand that the sequels get even better.

Solid book. Can recommend.
For anyone who likes stories about superpowers and discovering special abilities in High School settings.
And maybe a little bit of romance because there is definitely some exceptional book-boyfriend-material (and even I can say this as a very gay lesbian reader xD)

Enjoy! —nora
