I have read one book in this series, The Curse of Conchobar, and it was a prequel to the series. After reading this book, I am wondering whether there are multiple different books and settings in this series, for I could find no correlation between that book and this one. Both books seem to stand alone, as separate books, as if they are connected by their link to the supernatural and nothing else. And while I agreed to read this book based on my views on The Curse of Conchobar, the fact that the two books are unalike is not going to affect my review in the slightest. In fact, I am incredibly glad I agreed to read this book.
Noah comes from a family of people gifted with supernatural abilities, but he does not have one himself. That is, he didn’t, until he woke up in the middle of the woods, miles away from home, with no explanation other than he must have walked there in his sleep. Noah has struggled his entire life, trying to fit in with his family, and trying to find his place in the village, but perhaps he does not truly belong with either. Perhaps his life lies elsewhere, deep in the woods, living as a mountain man, like his father had.
Noah certainly goes through a lot in this novel, and the reader cannot help but fall in love with his character. I read with my fingers crossed that he would find a happy ending. This book is packed full of action, adventure, and the big question – why does Noah travel in his sleep, and how can he stop it, or at least, make sure he’s safe?
This book introduced to me a cast of new characters, and, having taken a look at the author’s list of books, I can see several that I would very much like to read, as they are about characters mentioned in, or featuring in, this book. The world that is contained inside these pages is one that I thoroughly enjoyed my time in, and I cannot wait to go back!
I am so glad you enjoyed Waking Up Lost. Thank you so much for hosting today's tour stop.
