Another great book from Meg Cabot, one of my favorite authors of realistic fiction. The Abandon trilogy is a fascinating take on the afterlife. Awaken ends this great series well.

I really like this trilogy but I think it could have been more interesting during the climax.

Awaken is the final installment in the Abandon series. New characters are introduced to the plot and the book builds up to the ultimate battle between good and evil. Awaken satisfactorily ties up all loose ends and ends the series on an optimistic note.

It worries me that at no point during the course of the three novels in this series do either the protagonist or the author seem to realize that "John" is controlling, narcissistic, and potentially abusive. Kids, it's not romantic when a guy tracks your every move; it's obsessive, and usually the results aren't pretty. Despite this huge caveat, and Cabot's propensity for leaving numerous and lengthy loose ends, the series is a creative reworking of the Persephone myth and an enjoyable read.

Even though it's been forever since I read the first 2 books, I really enjoyed this one. I was confused at first but got caught up pretty fast. I love that Pierce is tough and independent, especially compared to all the weak-willed heroines in books today. I love that this series is based off mythology but with a modern twist. I felt like all the characters were well-rounded and relate able and I appreciated all the witty little jokes. I actually read this book pretty quickly and it definitely never bored me. Meg Cabot has been one of my favorite authors for years and she hasn't disappointed me yet!

I really enjoyed this book series. It went outside the box.

I like fictional books that can make me aware of history or mythology.

Thrilling, captivating and a perfect conclusion to the series. Need I say more?

It was a happy ending but could have been more interesting.

Really want to read this book... I HATE WAITING
