Summary
The first in a trilogy from Sunday Times bestseller Nora Roberts, The Awakening is a story of adventure, magic and finding your home.
Mists, shimmering silver fingers, rose over the pale green water of the lake. They twined and twisted toward a sky quietly gray, while in the east, over the hills, a pink blush waited, like a held breath, to waken.
Breen Kelly had always been a rule follower. So, when her father left when she was twelve years old, promising to return, she waited. Now, more than a decade later, she's working at a job she hates and is tired of the life that playing by the rules has dealt her. It's time to make a change.
Breen makes a leap into the unknown with a summer trip to Ireland - her father's homeland. Little does she know how much of a leap until a walk in the woods leads her through a portal into another world - Talamh - where Breen will find magic, family and a destiny she could never have dreamed of.

Silly
The story is very obvious and poorly written, almost childish. Feels like the books Nora Roberts wrote at the beginning of her career.
Nevertheless, it was a fun listen.

Loved this book, but.....
I throughly enjoyed this books and almost raced through it. My only disappointment is that book 2 isn’t out yet and won’t be until October 2021. It’s been left in such suspense and I would have easily gone straight onto the second without a stop or break in between. I feel abit lost now it’s finished.

Felt very one dimensional, boring.
The story reminds me of something a child would write, 'and then we got the limo, and then I had a champagne, oooh yummy, and then we caught the plane (in first class!!!) and I was so nervous, and then we arrived and the hotel was lovely...'. Unbelievably awful considering the Rise of Magicks trilogy, so engrossing and exciting. Really disappointed I spent a months credit on this.
I didn't get far to be honest. It was just too grating in every way.

A brilliant book!
I used to read fantasy books regularly but got bored with them after a while so I wasn’t sure about trying this one. Being a firm fan of Nora Roberts I thought I would give it try. I loved it great characters and a story with plenty of angles to keep my interest. I didn’t want it to end imagine my disappointment when I realised how long that I have to wait for the next book!

Same as every other "fantasy" Roberts ever written
Childish. simpel story with no surprises. Another copy of her earlier work but with sloppier story, less fun and no mystery. This will be the last time I give Roberts a try

Great story and introduction to the series
I am in love with Breen and Marco and Keegan and Maureena and everyone in this book. All characters are so well created that I am interested in all their lives.
I really appreciated the evolution of Breen from insecure to strong and resilient and a bit cheeky as well.
Unexpected bonus - some romance 😁

Amazing
As always Nora Roberts captures your imagination in the first chapter and you just want to comfort Breen right away.
l went through the porthole with her description every time and looked forward to seeing everything on the other side.

Slow to Get Really Going
Far too much detail before they even arrive in Ireland. But I think the author was trying to make the reader understand the choice the heroine was making.
All round a good story, so will now go on to read book two.
