The Awakening: As Told by the Boys by Caroline Peckham, Susanne Valenti

martamarti2's review against another edition

4.0

Me ha gustado mas de lo que pensaba, al ser el 1 contado por los chicos, no esperaba que me sorprendiera y pensaba que sería muy igual al primero, pero he amado verlo desde su perspectiva. Los pensamientos de ellos cuando las ven por primera vez y todo el tema de cual será su orden, de verdad no podía parar de reírme. Me ha dolido ver muchas partes de Darius y he entendido su situación y me da muchísima pena, es al que más comprendo. Amo a Darius con todo mi ser y a Caleb y en este libro he amado muchísimo a Lance. Aquí te das cuenta de la evolución de los personajes pero sobre todo de Seth, es que es muy heavy. No le puedo dar mas nota, porque al final la trama viene siendo la misma que el 1 y ya sabia todo lo que pasaba, pero me h gustado mas de lo que me gusto el 1 de rato.

I know some people find this book pretty unnecessary, but for me it was insteresting to read from the boys' POV. I loved how obsessed Darius and Orion was with the girls, and I got a better understanding where they were coming from when they bullied the girls mercilessly.
I'm onto book 5. This is quickly becoming one of my all time favourite series.

I typically don’t enjoy books that are basically another book but from a different perspective but I liked this. Gabriel showed up a lot and I love him so I had to give it 4 stars instead of the 3 I had initially planned to rate this.

Interesting to read the boys perspective. Makes me forgive darius a little bit. The heirs seem way more human than what i once thought

This was a book I didn’t even realize I needed! Seeing Tory and Darcy fall into the Zodiac academy world from their perspectives was a thrilling ride, but getting to see it from the boys side was the missing puzzle pieces I needed! I remember reading, wondering what what going on in the guys’ heads, and now we get that!! It was so unique to get into the minds of the guys seeing how they felt about the twins, seeing them plan take action, and understanding their world in the academy and personal lives in their eyes. These devious, sexy, boys were nothing short of what I expected from them. Caleb, Seth, Darias, Max, and Orion gave me what I needed to hold me off until the next book! Dying for more!!
