I don't think I have really read other books by Nora Roberts, but if her other books can keep me immersed like this one did, then call me a new Nora Roberts fan. I loved her writing style. She gives you just enough information about the characters and what is going on that I seriously zoned everything else out around me.
I loved Breen and her friendships and how she comes to terms on who she is. It's a well paced story in my opinion and finally a fantasy telling that is not boggle down with crazy amounts of spice and unnecessary sex scenes, don't get me wrong, I love a good spice in books here and there but it seems a lot of books that are being overly hyped on booktok or whatever all seem to be all about the spice... correction smut, but you will not find this here.
The Awakening is a good fantasy telling that gives you the chance to get to know the characters and fall in love with them all the same. My oldest daughter recommended this to me, and now I highly recommend it to anyone who likes fantasy, friendship, and someone getting to know she is from a world she had no clue truly existed.

LOVE!!! LOVE!!! This book was amazing. Breens story is so relatable (without the magical parts of course) and I couldn’t help but fall in love with the characters and the story. It’s been awhile since a book pulled at me as much as this one did. I’m thrilled there’s another to keep the story going. This book… continues to make me wish these kinds of stories are real… but allows me to get lost in them for a little while at least.

Reading Nora Roberts books are like a warm cozy blanket. The style and stories are familiar and rarely disappoint. I think I’m still in my dark and twisted mood so it took a while to read through but I’m not sad I read it. I look forward to the next one when the price drops.
