mystikai's review against another edition
4.0
I was lucky enough to pick this up straight after reading Few Are Angels so I didn’t have to wait to find out what happened next.
Ella is missing, taken by Laurent and Kale and the others need to find her and get her back. While Ella is missing she finds out that the Council has actually ordered for her parents to be killed which would awaken the Arc within her. How does she deal with learning that news and will she be rescued?
I enjoyed this book equally as much as the first, there were twists along the way and it kept me hooked from start to finish.
Again the pace had a good flow and it was well written. I loved that new characters were introduced and I liked the addition of them in the most part.

Copy received from the author in exchange for an honest review.
I am so lucky that the author gave me book 1 and 2 because as soon as I completed book 1 I started on book 2! I just had to know what was going to happen.
I wound up not getting to sleep because I just kept turning the pages. I LOVE the characters in this series. Ella is just amazing and keeps getting better, Kale, Jace, Alex and Mia are some of the most perfect friends you could ever hope to ask for.
We get a few new characters in this book and they have some interesting aspects to them, but by far my favorites so far are Ella, Kale, Jace, Mia and Alex.
And the twist this book takes! I will NOT give that away but you seriously just have to read this book from Inger Iversen!

This is an overall review:
I got these books from the author, free of cost, in exchange of an honest review from my side.
Firstly I would like to thank the author and the tour organizers for giving me this opportunity of reading and reviewing these books.
I really enjoyed this ride and I loved each of the three books specially the 2nd installment in this series.
The characters are so developed and good that I instantly connected with them and I loved Ella, she had to go through and hell and back but still she didn't give up and kept pushing forward even when she was emotionally shattered. When her sanity was questioned she didn't end up accepting it rather she tried to solve the mysteries of the hallucinations that filled her mind and soul.
On the other hand I didn't quite enjoyed Kale's character. He was good but wasn't totally bind-blowing. I just hope that he would have been a little more irresistible but I didn't find myself quite attached to him.
Coming to the plot I would say that the plotting was good but it wasn't totally unpredictable. Many of the major twists could have been predicted from a far but still there were some twists that surprised me and I enjoyed them very much.
The 1st installment was a little slow in pace and felt a little boring at first and through out the book the explanations were dragged too much so I didn't like it very much but the 2nd installment just blew me away, it was really great and the development in the characters were visible and introduction of other characters made the read that much more interesting and when the mystery started unfolding slowly in Awakened, well that was the turning point of this series and it won the readers' hearts.
The novella was good too but I don't really feel satisfied after reading a novella because of the lack of detailed information but here the experience was 50-50 for me. I can't say that it was devoid of all the details but I can't even say that all the required details were present.
One thing that bothered me was that there was lack of kick-ass action scenes which are my favourite and it also makes the read intriguing. Most of the cation was shown in the hallucinations that Ella had but there wasn't much action in real life [as in the waking world of the story].
Overall a good read that I would recommend to all. So enjoy!!!
