The Awakening

The Dragon Heart Legacy

De: Nora Roberts

Narrado por: Barrie Kreinik

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.

Everything!

Loved the storyline, just draws you in and holds you there. I loved the way she paints the world's first you. So beautiful and beautifully read, too.

Narration and world creation

Loved the narrator and how Nora Roberts always creates a stunning world. The characters are stunning, creative and yet so relatable.

A SOLID GOLD.

the characters and storyline is excellent as always. Nora Robert's never fails to deliver a great novel with an interesting end....it makes me want to start the second book a.s.p.

Brilliant! 100% recommend

I laughed and cried multiple times through this lovely tale and although part of a series, the ending was quite abrupt as though in the middle of the story.

Nice beginning for a promising story

This book has a good idea of a story, but the it’ s a little slow for the first two parts because there’s too much description of details for my taste. I feel that the author knew was going to do a series of this story, so instead of making it flow and develop it she stalls and dives into describing the magical world so much that it slows the plot and makes a little bit boring in some bits. The beginning has a good pace but it drops the pace and it’s almost boring how she elongates the story for two thirds of the book. She introduces you to the story without really doing it. The author basically throws up her magical background (but not explaining really anything), falls a little short of slapping the main female character for not knowing anything and then returns to a super slow flow describing the details and landscape of the new world. Though I must say the third part of the book gets super more interesting and the flow picks up (I think it’s to make it more appealing to read the next book), but I hope this flow is kept in the next book as the story leaves you hanging there and it’s original. Also I must say that the main female character’s friends are adorable and so cool, especially her best friend is so nice that I’m so looking forward to how she’s letting him be part of the main story in the sequel. I hope that in the sequel the author keeps up the pace of the story and stop stalling it to make more books as it diminish the quality of the story.
