My main problem with the Awakening is how there is zero sense of discovery. The whole book is just the Mc being handed everything and a love bomb of “I can’t believe this!” And “Marco, did you see what I did?!?” When everyone clearly did, and this dialogue is contributing nothing towards furthering the plot.

She gets handed literally everything. A magical realm, housing, a magical bond with a mystical creature that she ‘should she have sensed before but it wasnt the right time until we happened to be just randomly going past this area again’, a great book career because magic… and then there’s the really dark, sudden turn for two sentences that kinda allude to sa? Really disturbing turn for a book that has basically been a vomit of overindulgent feelings with no real sense of plot/danger.

Yeah… I don’t like this book.

The audio version makes them way worse. Why in the world would you write character dialogue that just sums up what happens to everyone that saw it happen and absolutely nothing else. At least let the character say his thoughts/conclusions rather than end with “that was scary”.
