The Awakening by Nora Roberts
lighthearted
mysterious
relaxing
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I’m not sure if it was the writing style or the plot but I found this book BORING.
The world building was weird, because the concept was high fantasy but the execution was contemporary. The book is trope heavy in a way that makes it boring, the villain is a super evil guy who wants to watch the world burn and the MC is the chosen one.
The characters were very surface level and there were a lot of weird training montages so it felt like the book could have been about 100 pages shorter.
ALSO what was with the weird horse sex scene??? Who was that for? Why was it included?
Overall, weird book, won’t be finishing the series.
