Review: Reawakened

Reawakened by Dean C. Moore
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Available at Amazon
I had great hopes that this would be a great book. I had liked the first two and was looking forward to this one. The thing is, the things that I did not like in the first two books became the major way the story was told. Because of that, it went down one star. I was happy that the story was completed (with a little wiggle room for a sequel).

Problem 1) Large cast, bigger than book 2 it seems. It was hard to keep track of all of the characters.
Problem 2) Stream of consciousness story. In any story you have to suspend belief. You have to assume that Batman can take a licking and still keep ticking. I have no problem with that. When most of the story takes place in the mind(s) of other characters, then I begin to check out because anything is possible and talking unicorns become real. That is to much of a stretch for me. This is not saying the book is bad, it is saying that it was not for me. I will never give a bad review of a book because it is not my style unless it is truly is bad.

All that being said, the characters developed as they should and got to a natural ending point. The characters stayed true to their natures and what drove them in the first two books is what drove them now.

Recommended for older teens through adults. Several parts of the book were more adult in nature and there seemed to be more cuss words than in the other two books. Recommended if you are into
the stream of consciousness as noted above.
