Awakened by Ciara Duggan
3.0
Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Okay, I'm just going to jump right in.
Awakened started out GREAT. I mean I was hooked, ready for this adventure, and was really excited because the last few books I'd read ended up getting DNF'd.
So, I needed a gripping story that would suck me in and Awakened seemed just like what I needed. It started out like it too, but then the deeper I read into the book the more that grip on my attention just started slipping until I just didn't care about it anymore.
Now, this isn't a bad book. I think if I were younger, I would have enjoyed this more. The writing is good and the characters were amazing. It was the pacing that just... didn't do good for me.
Like, this book spans a whole week and maybe a few days. I honestly think if this book spanned a larger amount of time and things didn't happen so quickly, where it was kind of like whiplash, this would have been an amazing book. It just really needed more... time within the pages.
To conclude this, I'm giving this book three stars. This is because it was just meh for me. I didn't hate it but didn't love it either.
