Kiera's Quest: Awakening Review

Author: Kristy Brown

Description: Meet Kiera, a pretty, intelligent, and talented girl, brought up by her uncle, and abandoned by her parents. Life is as normal as she believes it to be, apart from the deep ache inside her, telling her she’s different. For years, Kiera had dreams where she ventures into a different reality. She’s not alone; a presence is always there, keeping her safe, yet she feels vulnerable, and hunted.

Zakk, Prince of Zantar, is under the Witch Queen’s spell as she tries to take over his world. He crosses paths with Kiera, and their fates are entwined.

As their journey unravels, she learns that she is not the only one affected by this prince. Who is on her side? Will she find out why she has been chosen? How can someone so young, defeat such evil? Will she find the strength to save the ones closest to her? Will this be Kiera’s only Quest?

Review: Kristy Brown’s vivid imagination is nothing short of amazing. She does an excellent job of bringing the world of Zantar to life; I could picture every striking detail written in the book in mind as if it were real.

Reading the first chapter of the book, and I was thinking, ‘Oh God, this is going to be a YA version of fairy tales’. I couldn’t be more wrong! Kristy keeps the reader hooked on, chapter after chapter, I couldn’t let go until I had finished reading the last word. The whole book was jam-packed with action, twists and turns at every corner. However, I was too short!! I wanted it to go on and on and on. The short story made it quite it difficult to feel a sense of attachment to the characters, but nevertheless it was a deep, and intriguing read. A good mystery adventure; 3/5.
