This would've been a four star but
(1) there was way too much time spent on the set up for the magical world
(2) does everything have to be a series?
The premise was great but the actual story felt clunky. It fell victim to, what is often, second book syndrome. It spent too much time setting up the future and not enough time on the single compelling story that pushes you to pick up the next book.

My first Nora Roberts book, “The Awakening” lures the reader to the world of Talamh to discover the true power of Breen Siobhan and her family. A world of fey and magic and evil waiting to be defeated, with the magical backdrop of summer in Ireland.
