I went into this expecting to probably not like it but I felt Breen was a very likeable character and what's not to like about Ireland. Not saying there wasn't aspects that I didn't enjoy.
'The Awakening' By Nora Roberts is the first in her The Dragon Heart Legacy. Despite the name theres not much dragons in this, they're there just not a big part of it. The story follows Breen, a middle school teacher who has been told her whole life by her single career oriented mom that she's nothing special, overly average, won't ever achieve any of her dreams and should settled right away. She's also believed since she was a child that her father left her and never looked back. Quickly in this book she finds out some hard truths and then we spend a lot of time just enjoying Ireland and waiting for the fantasy/dragon part of the book to start. Once it does it's still a very slow burn, luckily I enjoyed the landscape descriptions and the time spent describing the different 'tribes'. While I enjoyed this book trying to remember what really happened other than a few dreams and one or two small quick encounters theres not really any much in-depth stuff to it.
