    The Awakening" is a captivating start to what promises to be an epic fantasy series. From the very first page, I was drawn into a richly crafted world filled with dynamic characters and intriguing lore. The dialogue is sharp and engaging, reflecting the tense relationship between the characters and their shared history, especially the bond between Breen Siobhan and her protector. The story perfectly balances elements of action and emotion as we see Breen navigate her lineage and expectations. There's a palpable sense of urgency as she begins to understand her role in the ongoing conflict, skillfully blending personal struggles with larger themes of legacy and responsibility. The development of her character is compelling, and the conversations she has about her father and legacy add layers to her journey. The writing flows beautifully, making it easy to immerse myself in this world filled with magic and danger. The way the narrative unfolds with vivid descriptions and detailed world-building makes me eager to learn more about the complex relationships and battles that lie ahead. Overall, "The Awakening" sets a strong foundation for the trilogy, leaving readers invested in Breen's journey and the challenges she faces. If you enjoy fantasy filled with deep character development, rich lore, and gripping storytelling, I highly recommend picking up this book. I can't wait to see where the next installment takes us!

    For a Nora Robert’s book I was very disappointed. For any book actually. So slow to catch and a cliff hanger to the sequel at the end. I paid 9.95 for this book. I’ll probably never buy another digital Nora Roberts book again.

    The story was long. Not a lot of action the whole book felt like introduction of characters. Was bored at times but last 5 chapters were better.

    Captivating and well-written. Nora Roberts helped me learn to like a genre I didn’t think I would!

    I tried to come back to this author, and I love the story lines, but the dialogue is SO UNREALISTIC. I mean No One really talks this way. It’s so distracting that it pulls you out of an otherwise good story. Just can’t do it.

    I’m not usually one for fantasy, but I can’t wait for this to continue. The characters are so rich and deeply developed, one can’t help but feel their pain. I cried for Breen for being torn between two worlds she loved equally. I read the next 2 books from the library and this series is just the best. I laughed, cried, rejoiced. Hated to see it end
  • Political and Weird Punctuation

    Never seen an author use so many hyphens for pauses. Really annoying and confusing. Also, a little too political for my preferences. Main character lives in “the gayborhood” and her mom forced her to be a teacher and live in poverty…in the gayborhood with her gay roommate. Not a fan of a female main character who is weak and plays the victim. Just not my cup of tea!

    Loved it. I could have done with more world building, and her “powers” weren't described very well. I can tell it's her first fully-fledged fantasy book, but that being said, I loved it
