The Awakening
by Nora Roberts
2.5/5
I have to admit it is really hard to summon my thoughts of this one. To be honest, I am not quite sure what the author actually wanted to say.. Contemporary fiction with a spark of fantasy - it does sound like a great idea, but unfortunately the execution of it wasn't really as good as it might have been. Some parts were amazing, some ok, and some really boring, I even skipped some parts of the fantasy world cause it was just too unreal. Kinda like reading women's version of Harry Potter, but not as good. I loved the beginning when Breena started building her life, her friends and the whole trip to Ireland part. But somewhere around the middle things just started to fall apart. And when I read that people at Talamh mated, I knew I've had enough. Maybe the rest of the series will make it better as a whole. I certainly hope so.
Big thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an Advanced Reader Copy in exchange for a fair and honest review.
