The Awakening is the first book in the series The Immortal Wizards. The story changes multiple points of view, following a core group of young wizards on their missions, Jen, Clara, Max, Mark, Chris, Kevin and Chloe. We also follow some of the Immortal Wizards stories, which I found the premise of famous people from history being all knowing wizards to be fascinating. I did like the writing as it was able to capture my attention quickly. There is a lot of action in this book and I enjoyed the fast pace. This edition of The Awakening was translated from German to English, and unfortunately there were quite a few grammatical and spelling errors along the way. It was difficult to determine if the author repeated information or if it was translated incorrectly. 
Overall I liked the first book of this series. There is a good mix of plot and character growth and has LBGTQ+ representation.
