Reunited (The Reawakened Series)

How did a series that started so well, end so badly? The author seemingly lost her vision of the world she created and it just got silly. Fantasy requires the reader to suspend disbelief and cold logic to embrace a world. The author did that pretty darn well in the first books of the series. By this time, the reader is saying: "wait a minute, how did that power appear? Why didn't they use that power before? Why do the "good" gods keep forgetting to tell Lily everything? - even after they're in desperate circumstances?Once these questions emerge into your consciousness, enjoyment goes away while your eyes roll.Perhaps the author took the publish date for the last book too seriously. She should have waited until she'd thought out this book all the way.

I received this ARC in a fair trade with a fellow blogger. This review is completely voluntary and honest. I was not compensated for this review.Reunited is the final book in Colleen Houck’s Reawakened series! With every book I read by Colleen, I am constantly amazed by how wonderful the world and writing is! As I might have mentioned before, I don’t know my mythology outside Greek, but I always enjoy learning more through Colleen’s books!We rejoin Lily as she awakes on her grandmother’s farm. Only thing is, Lily has no memory of the past few weeks. It was actually rather nice too, since I couldn’t remember everything that happened in Recreated either! Lol! So Lily has to get caught up on all that’s happened and what needs to happen. Honestly, Colleen couldn’t have done this better! My little reader heart and mind were so thrilled with this because. Seriously, I can never remember what happened in the previous book a year later! I’m in serious trouble with other series that I am in the middle of!Dr. Haasan comes back to Lily to tell her all the details, that she basically needs to wake the brothers once again, that she will need to become Warset, and with the help of the brothers they will need to defeat Seth. No problem really, just saving the world like it ain’t no thing! Hee hee. As you can imagine, it’s not as easy as all that.There are many tasks ahead of Lily on her journey. She does eventually get her memory back and soon finds herself working with Ahmose, one of Amon’s brothers, as they work to find Amon and Asten’s bodies so that they can be raised! Colleen’s books are always filed with a great journey filled with perils and other dangers! There’s never a dull moment!This book also expands on what is likely the most complicated love confliction ever! As you might recall, Lily possesses the souls of a lioness named Tia and a fairy named Ashleigh. Tia has feelings for Asten. Soon Ashleigh develops feelings for Ahmose. And then of course, Lily loves Amon. So what happens when we have three souls in one body loving three different guys? A complicated mess! But ironically, the brothers handle this all so well! It’s odd, but I can live with it I guess! I’m not touching on its outcome either, because, you know, spoilers!This book wasn’t without its feels either! There was a lot of unexpected occurrences that really tugged at my heartstrings, and yet it always felt right. It’s a terrible feeling almost, to be accepting of sadness because you know it was the right course, because omg, it was heartrending! Not giving exact details, but we can say this was one emotional read and I honestly didn’t know how things would turn out in the end.Reunited was a most wonderful read! It was rich with its mythology and culture that I’ve pretty much come to expect with a Colleen Houck book! She’s never let me down before! It was filled with action and so many wonderful character building moments! I always love reading Colleen’s books because they are truly an adventure just waiting to happen! This is a series not to be missed or passed by!Overall Rating 4.5/5 stars

So I finished it... a lot happened in this book and there were so many different emotions that I went through especially in the end. But it ended how I figured it would end. There were a few surprises in there that I didn't see coming so that is definitely a plus when you get the shut the front door effect. Sad to see the story end. I would have liked to get a glimpse into the future to see how things would have played out a bit.... but that's ok.

I can not express how much I truly love this series i was hooked from the first page of this series and this third book did not disappoint the author paints such a vivid picture you feel as if you are there if you love Egypt then read this series it has depth and drama and still maintains light and hope without watering down the storyline a must read

I absolutely love this series. The mix of mythology, pop culture, and romance is so well done. Anyone who has any love of those should pick up this series. The first is by far my favorite but this definitely keeps the story going in a way that makes you want to read and root for the romantic ending.

I can say honestly I enjoyed the first book better. I found this book a bit confusing. I didn't seem to connect to the characters or remember them as I needed to. All in all it was a good book and a good read

I cried when I read the ending of this book. Because as I read the last page I was still desperate for more. I hope one day the author will return to these characters and give us an update on how they're doing.

LOVED the whole series!! Definitely my favorite author. I felt that each book was more mystical and fantastical than the last. The series really got me into Egyptian mythology just as the Tiger series got me into Hindu mythology.

gostei muito da série - fiquei aguardando sair o ultimo livro mas não aguentei e li em inglês .

Esse libro foi esperando com muita expectativa, e terminou lindamente a serie. Realmente me surpreendeu diversas vezes o desenrolar dos eventos e quam grande e a criatividade da Colleen. Ficou tudo esplicadinho e amarrado. Amei tudo menos o fato que ja estou com saudade dos filho do egito e de Lyli. Super recomiendo a serie completa.

Terrible book

Exactly as described

waited a long time for this one. It did not disappoint. Colleen Houck is a marvelous Authoor
