Winter Awakening The Metahumans Emerge Winter Saga Book 1 eBook Karen Luellen

Have you read the Maximum Ride books? Did you like them? I did. This book was surprisingly like those books. The main characters are kids who have been experimented on. The oldest of the kids is a girl who is feisty and has talents. No, the kids can't fly. Yes, they were raised out on a ranch away from the populace. There are inconsistencies and minor mistakes, but they don't detract from the story that much.

I feel badly giving this book three stars. If I had read this first I might not have felt the similarities so much. I might have given it four stars. I do appreciate the writing style that keeps one engaged with the characters and on the edge of their seats with worry, but James Patterson and the Max books have been done quite well. Give me the flying kids any day!

Winter Awakening The Metahumans Emerge Winter Saga Book 1 eBook Karen Luellen Reviews

Meg and her two brothers are happy with the secluded little life their mother has created for them. That is until one day when Mom goes missing. Suddenly Meg and her brothers are thrown into the real world-- where they learn that not all kids are as strong/fast/smart/sensitive as they are.

Margo Winters rescued three babies from a lab a dozen years ago. Now after twelve years of loving, nurturing, and training her children she can only hope it will be enough to keep them safe. Because things are about to get very dangerous. Ride along with the Winters family as they find friends, make enemies, and discover hard truths in a quest to find their Mom.

I was immediately drawn in to Ms. Luellen's world. I cheered for Meg, Alik, and Evan every step along their journey. Each child is so likeable that you can't help but wish you were a part of the family.

The story line is a fast paced witty adventure that hooks you over and over again with quirky chapter titles that inspire you to keep reading 'just a little longer'. There is exactly enough action and intrigue all strung together with hilarius typical teenage banter from very atypical teenagers. I found myself awake long after my bed time despite knowing I had to be up with my 6 month old at 530-- I was that desperate to know how things turned out. I will be counting the minutes until the sequel hits the shelves.
The good

1) Enough action to carry it forward to the conclusion with passages like "She was grooming us to become the soldiers she always knew we would have to be."
2) Interesting concept about the development of a metahuman race gifted with different powers
3) Playful humor between unrelated family members that had been adopted
4) The novel addition of a domesticated coyote

The not so good

1) Run-on passages that say the same thing like "When I get my hands on them they're going to see the true meaning of "metahumans" and "This is my world, and he's about to feel my wrath."
2) All too convenient solutions like the passage "Her brother, Evan Winter, insisted that they had the same rare blood type..." when they were unrelated family members as mentioned before.
3) Cliches like "My possible demise at the hands of an evil scientist" and "He just wanted to create a perfect race"
4) The novel addition of a domesticated coyote which is described as "My knight in furry armor" and does the incredulous.

Bottom line is that while this book is aimed at the teen market it's still an ok light read for adults. I'll leave you with one final passage from the protagonist to her coyote so you may be the judge, "You did it, Maze! You're awesome!"
Very interesting read. I loved the plot, enjoyed getting to know the characters and look forward to reading more about the Metahumans. There was enough action to keep me reading and I found that I was hesitant to put the book down.

Unfortunately I was unable to give 5 stars due to a few minor annoyances that a little editing would be able to take care of. There was a grammatical error that was found throughout the book. The word passed was used where the word past should have been used. Ex. "I hopped down the stairs and flew passed Dr. Andrews heading out the back door." The word in this sentence should have been past-- " I hopped down the stairs and flew past Dr. Andrews heading out the back door." This mistake was repeated several times throughout the book.

Another problem for me was that the story kept switching POV at inappropriate times. I would be reading along and all of the sudden in the middle of a sentence we would switch POV and I found that a bit disconcerting.

Overall though I did enjoy this freebie that I picked up for my at and I do intend to continue reading this series. I will purchase the next in the series and recommend them to friends.
Winter’s Awakening turned out to be a rather underwhelming story, despite it’s rather large ideas. The story itself is not terrible, but for me personally it only fell into the realm of okay.

The story itself is fairly interesting, and I really like the ideas of metahumans…especially those unaware of their differences. However I did have issues with the way this played out and several key moments of the lot seemed more like situations of convenience than actual logic. The pacing was also fairly slow for such a small novel, and it sort of made the smaller problems more visible as I spent more time focusing on them.

I did like that the kids were slightly awkward given their odd upbringing and lack of actual communication with people other than each other, and the fact that they were more more mature and more immature in areas. And their individual abilities were also pretty cool and seeing them action was great…but it’s sort of odd that everything was handled so…”nicely”? The story itself feels somewhat un-detailed and added to the constant niceness of everyone it feels sort of at odds with how terrible the situation becomes.

Overall Winter’s Awakening was an interesting book, but failed to truly pull me in. It would be great for middle grade aged kids who like books along the same lines as James Patterson’s Maximum Ride series, but as it is I’m not sure I’ll be continuing this series anytime soon.
