twunks 's review for:
The Awakening (Part 1 of 1) [Dramatized Adaptation]
by Susanne Valenti, Caroline Peckham
challenging
dark
tense
Strong character development:
No
Loveable characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
I'm not fully sure how to feel about this book, but it's giving "I wanna write a sexy Harry Potter but also make everyone really horny and literally all bullies."
The writing feels directed at younger audiences but has more adult content so those vibes collide. I would also say there are more triggers than advertised, primarily emotional/mental abuse and physical abuse.
Because of what the main characters go through, it feels immature that they don't seem to learn despite their background story. And for some reason all the "baddies" are hot no matter how horrible they are, so it gives the feelsling that you can do what you want as long as you're hot.
By the end, I was curious as to what happens next. But I'm not sure if I'll continue reading the series.
