Book Review: The Awakening by Kelley Armstrong
The Awakening opens there where The Summoning closes. I liked this one better than the one before.

Title & Author: The Awakening by Kelley Armstrong

Publisher: HarperCollins
Synopsis
If you had met me a few weeks ago, you probably would have described me as an average teenage girl – someone normal. Now my life has changed forever and I’m as far away from normal as it gets. A living science experiment – not only can I see ghosts, but I was genetically altered by a sinister organization called Edison Group. What does that mean? For starters. I’m a teenage necromancer whose powers are out of control: I raise the dead without even trying. Trust me, that is not a power you want to have. Ever.
Now I’m running for my life with three of my supernatural friends – a charming sorcerer, a cynical werewolf, and a disgruntled witch – and we have to find someone who can help us before the Edison Group finds us first. Or die trying.
I gave The Awakening by Kelley Armstrong four out of five hearts, not because it was the best book I’ve ever read. But it was the better one of the series.
I read this series a couple of years ago and thought they were amazing, now I think they are childish, but The Awakening is the least childish one of the three. Chloe reacts more mature on the things that come on her path and is not as easily deceived as before.
It could have been a better story, because overall the story was not that in depth and it sometimes lacked in quality. I still like this book, but not as much as the first time I read it.
The novel has not much wrong with it, but in my mind it was better than it actually was. It is a good fit for people between 14 and 20 or so, but as you get older you start to find some things that happen in this novel childish, which was mostly the thing that bothered me.

In The Summoning, narrator Chloe is unsure of herself and timid; she goes along with the suggestions and demands of her elders, eager to “get better” and to return to a semblance of a normal life. While Chloe does grow the beginnings of a backbone in the first novel, in The Awakening she completely sheds her shy, diminutive skin and becomes a strong heroine, bravely meeting confrontation head-on, refusing to meekly accept others’ orders without question. Not only is Chloe a powerful necromancer on the run from a depraved organization, but she’s also a teenage girl becoming comfortable and at home in her own skin – something that can be said of each of the teens on the run. As in the first novel, Chloe continues her glib movie comparisons which had my inner movie geek grinning from ear to ear (especially in her horror and action movie comparisons – there was even a Deep Blue Sea Sam Jackson kill reference, which had me in giggles), and also building off the first novel, Chloe’s relationships with Tori, Simon and Derek also are continued here in The Awakening.
During these times, the horned entity is honored as the lord of the wild hunt or as the lord of the crops, depending on the specific Sabbat. Although the Wiccan horned entity is associated with the masculine divine, it is important to note that Wicca values and celebrates both the masculine and feminine energies. The horned entity is often depicted alongside a goddess figure, representing the balance between the two polarities. In conclusion, the Wiccan horned entity is a powerful and important figure within Wiccan traditions. This deity represents the wild and primal aspects of nature, and is revered for their strength and guidance. The horned entity plays a central role in Wiccan rituals and ceremonies, reminding practitioners of the interconnectedness between humanity and the natural world..
Reviews for "The Horned God and the Transformational Journey in Wiccan Path"
1. John Doe - 1/5 stars: I have to say, "Wiccan horned entity" was a total disappointment. The storyline was weak and confusing, and the characters lacked depth. It felt like the author was trying too hard to create a mystical atmosphere but failed miserably. The ending was predictable and left me feeling unsatisfied. Overall, I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for a well-crafted and engaging read.
2. Sarah Johnson - 2/5 stars: I picked up "Wiccan horned entity" with high hopes, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The concept had potential, but the execution was lacking. The pacing was slow, and the plot twists felt forced and artificial. Additionally, the main character was difficult to relate to, and their motivations seemed inconsistent throughout the book. While the writing style was fine, it couldn't make up for the flaws in the overall storytelling. I wouldn't recommend this book to others unless they are die-hard fans of the genre.
3. Emily Thompson - 2/5 stars: "Wiccan horned entity" was not my cup of tea. The author seemed more interested in describing the world they had created than actually developing a compelling narrative. The excessive use of descriptive passages slowed down the pacing and made it difficult to stay engaged. Moreover, the characters felt one-dimensional and lacked depth, making it hard to care about their fates. While I appreciate the attempt to explore Wiccan themes, it was just not executed well in this novel. Overall, I found the book to be tedious and would not recommend it to others.
4. Mark Stevens - 2.5/5 stars: "Wiccan horned entity" had its moments, but it ultimately failed to leave a lasting impression. Although the premise was intriguing, the execution felt rushed and underdeveloped. The worldbuilding lacked cohesion, leaving me confused about the rules and dynamics of the magical realm. Additionally, the dialogue felt stilted and unnatural, making it difficult to connect with the characters. While there were some interesting twists and turns, they were overshadowed by the overall flaws of the book. I wouldn't actively dissuade others from reading it, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it either.
