On her eighteenth birthday, Princess Adele inherited the Kingdom of Iden. Willful, strong, and independent, her life changed when she discovered she’s more than successor—she’s heir to a mysterious power hunted by an evil spirit. Chaos covers her lands, forcing Adele to flee its reach. She journeys to unravel the secrets of her abilities, and defeat the enemy shadowing her. Adele refuses to let Iden fall—not without a fight.

Great Heroine!

Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2013

It seems with a lot of these epic fantasies, the main protagonist is a male.
I have no real problem with that, as one of my favorite series growing up was the Belgariad, but it is nice to have a princess instead of a prince.

Princess Adele was so real and amazing. I loved her!
In fact, I loved all of the characters. Degura the dwarf and Harper the Ogre.

One of my favorites besides Adele was Llaine. Even with his troubled past he is easy to love.

The only complaint I could see some people having is the fact that it is a little short for an epic fantasy.
For me, I would rather have a shorter book that moves fast instead of a long wordy one that just has a lot of "filler" parts.
Even with it being a little short, the world building and character building left nothing to be desired.
There better be a sequel coming soon!

Fast Fun Fantasy

Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2015

This was a surprisingly enjoyable fantasy tale. It seems the author drew inspiration from: anime, D&D, video games and other young adult novels. It all works together to form a compelling story. The Princess Adele and her companions are entertaining and quite comical at times. I especially liked the shape shifting wolf companion, Harper. The story moves along at a brisk pace and doesn't get bogged down with long unnecessary explanations. As someone who enjoys stories like Narnia, Harry Potter and the Wheel of Time series, this is a fun little story. It's not a super long book, but it's definitely worth a read if you enjoy young adult fantasy. I also see that there is a second book in the series, I'll have to give it a read, once I finish up a couple other books. I'm interested to see where the author takes her characters. Thumbs Up from Me!

A Thrilling Fantasy Ride

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2012

This book is absolutely incredible.

Written by a college student at the time, this story is absolutely incredible and masterfully written.
I can't express how exciting this book is. Once you start reading, you can't stop. Even during the lulls in the adventure, you can't help but keep wondering whats going to happen next.

The fictional world itself is extremely interesting and detailed. I sincerely hope there will be more adaptations because the world can easily be expanded and explored even further. Think of Westeross and Essos from A Song of Fire and Ice / Game of Thrones.

Great Addition to the Fantasy Genre!

Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is a well written adventure with an interesting story and engaging characters. It makes for a great fantasy read reminiscent of a Cornelia Funke with a touch of A Game of Thrones.

I was quite impressed with the character development which made you really connect with the characters although you may not particularly like them as people.

The fact that the author was a college student when she wrote just speaks to the inherent talent she possesses. I was very impressed by this young writer.

I sincerely hope this gifted author creates more books in the series and I look forward to reading them.

Great Quick Read!!!

Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2012

The Spirit: Awakening was a very enjoyable read.

The main thing I feel sets this book is the cast of characters. The main protagonist, Adele, is a well developed strong female protagonist and I think that is something lacking in many works of fiction. She never falls into being a stereotype of female characters and really feels like a real person. I found her to be very relatable and could not help but cheer her on as she went through her adventure. In fact I liked her so much I wish the book had devoted an extra chapter or two to tell us more about her character.

The second supporting character Llaine fill the role of the honorable exile with a tragic past. What I like about him is that he could very easily of been written as a whiny, self important character who never seems to be able to get over his own problems. This has been a problem I've noticed with many writers. Troubled some how translates to emo for them. Llaine however, is instead written as a deeply troubled young man who is attempting to rise above his past. He develops as a character through out the book to attempt to redeem his past. While his past is a deep part of who he is he does not let it define him.

I would have liked to see some more of the supporting characters flushed out but the main cast is so well though out that you will quickly get over this.

There are moments throughout the book that can feel rushed, especially the final chapters, but overall I felt this was a very well told story. I'm really interested to read more by this author in the future as I think she has allot of potential.

Though the pacing of the book at times can be a little to fast I feel the setting, as well as the characters more then makes up for it. She has set up the foundation for a very interesting world and I can't wait for its eventual sequel as well as any other works this author may come out with.

Definitely worth your time.

great read

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2012

I feel that this book is well written. I like to read books that are of this genre and feel that this series has the potential to be a great. Many strong points are displayed by the writer. I was easily hooked onto the beginning and didn't want to stop reading until the last page. I was treated to a story that was well flushed out and incredibly designed. At times I did have to re-read areas that were hard to follow but they were few and far between. Overall I have recommended this book to many of my friends and hope that they will do the same. Well done author!

Fun read, definitely worth a look

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2012

Verified Purchase

This is great for anyone looking for a fun fantasy read. It manages to be captivating and easy to read without feeling dumbed-down at all. The characters are interesting and endearing; the setting is imaginative while being recognizable as a high fantasy setting, and I got a great sense of the vastness of the world; and the story is engaging and incorporates some great twists without feeling out-of-left-field. The only complaint that leaps to mind is that it's a bit on the short side; the ending definitely left me wanting more to read.
