Quill & Quire

As the second book in Kelley Armstrong’s The Darkest Powers trilogy opens, 15-year-old Chloe Saunders is still clinging, albeit precariously, to the notion that her life may one day return to its dull but safe routines. Never mind that her failed attempt to escape from the mysterious Lyle House group home has landed her in an even more sinister containment facility, and that her only adult ally, Aunt Lauren, appears to have been working for the bad guys all along. Such is the optimism of youth. That sense of optimism against great odds tempers The Awakening’s increasingly dark supernatural elements and steers the novel clear of the goth-kitsch realm of a certain much-beloved teen vampire saga. Chloe’s experiences at Lyle House have reluctantly convinced her that she is a necromancer, and not, as the doctors and nurses there insist, suffering from the first stages of schizophrenia. Being a necromancer comes with its own set of headaches and challenges – visits from disembodied spirits and unwittingly raised corpses topping the list – but at least it’s better than being mentally ill. Now that she understands her true identity, Chloe just wants to learn to channel her powers and get back to her old life. But a cabal of ruthless scientists will do anything to stop Chloe and the other supernaturally gifted teens from living to see adulthood. Armstrong keeps Chloe and her friends’ typically adolescent identity struggles in the forefront as the conspiracies and clues pile up, grounding the novel in emotions familiar to YA readers. Derek, a budding lycanthrope humanized by his role as Chloe’s protector, is a particularly strong creation, a brooding mass of conflicted hormones and good intentions badly executed. The suspense rarely lets up, and fans of Armstrong’s adult Otherworld novels will enjoy the parallels between Chloe and her supernatural friends’ adventures and those of their grown-up counterparts. Bring on the third novel. --Ce texte provient de la Paperback édition.


Review

"Armstrong has some fun toying with supernatural teen thriller conventions, and the taut pacing should please fans of the exploding genre." (ALA Booklist )

"A page-turner. Readers will anticipate the book to follow." (Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) )

5.0étoiles sur 5 Another great chapter in the Darkest Powers series, Avril 27 2009
Par J. Scully "JLS" (Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Awakening (Paperback)
The Awakening, by Kelley Armstrong is a fantastic second installment to the Darkest Powers trilogy. Continuing the story of 15-year-old Chloe Saunders, who after discovering she is a necromancer ends up in a flight for her life, the stakes are even higher in The Awakening than they were in The Summoning, because now Chloe knows that her life is not as important to her pursuers as keeping her and her secret contained.

After making her escape from the deceptive Lyle House, and having been betrayed by the one person she trusts most in the world, Chloe is once again trapped by the mysterious people who know her secret and want to make sure it doesn't get out. And this time, it's not just a simple matter of sneaking out and disabling an alarm to get away. To make matters worse Derek and Simon aren't around to help her, and Rae doesn't seem to want to get out at all. Just when it seems like hope is lost, help comes from a very unexpected source.

The characters we met in the first Darkest Powers novel are back, and I can honestly say there's not a poorly written or out of place character in the book. And the more we learn about each of them, the more there is to like. As information about Simon and Derek's background is revealed, it's hard not to be as invested in them as we are in Chloe, who continues to surprise with her bravery and determination. As obstacle after obstacle is dropped in their path, Chloe and the small band of supernatural misfits never wavers in their efforts to overcome the evils that are after them, and ultimately to save those they left behind.

As with all of Armstrong's novels, the supernatural world meshes seamlessly with everyday life, due to her immense skill at making us believe that the things we never thought were out there, could actually be true. After reading these books, I don't think I'd be surprised to find out witches and werewolves were real! The writing and dialogue flow smoothly and naturally, there's never a moment that takes you out of the story. As an added bonus, The Awakening has a tie-in to Armstrong's Otherworld novels, creating an expanded universe that had me giddy upon discovery.

The Awakening is an action packed, suspense filled adventure you won't be able to put down. I know book reviews are supposed to highlight both the good and bad aspects of a story, but I just don't have anything negative to say about The Awakening. I can't wait for the third volume in Kelley Armstrong's Darkest Powers series to arrive.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Supernaturals on the Run, Jui 25 2009
Par N. Manning (Ontario, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Awakening (Paperback)
Reason for Reading: Next in the series.

Comments: The story picks up shortly after Book One and without giving much away, I'll say this book's main focus is that of the teens being on the run. While all six teens are still in this book, only five of them are a part of the story and if you've read Book One it may not be the five your thinking of. As all the teens take part in the plot, two of them in particular become the main characters and the undercurrents of a romance are felt boiling beneath the surface.

As often happens with the second book in a trilogy, The Awakening does have a feeling of being the middle part, filler if you will, awaiting the big climax of Book Three. Oh, I still enjoyed it, very much in fact, but the plot just doesn't advance very much. Don't get me wrong, there are still plenty of exciting, tense, and unexpected moments and a couple of reveals along the way. What this book does do though is show a lot of character development. We learn a lot of previously unknown information (secrets even) about each teen and we also get to know each one much more closer. All of the supernaturals, as they call themselves, have personalities which are made up of both likeable and unlikable characteristics making them real people to connect with.

While the plot only slightly advances we do learn a lot of the background of the story, how and why the teens have their powers, and who is after them and why, plus information on their own personal backgrounds. This compiled with the Book One leaves the reader very anxious for the big showdown in Book Three. Having been hit with a cliffhanger ending in The Summoning (which I don't like), I am happy to say that The Awakening leaves us with a more finite, however brief it may be, ending.

Kelley Armstrong is my new found favourite author and I'll be going back and starting her adult series for sure now.
