eBook Review: Into the Mists: Colors of Awakening

Hey guys! 

Here's my review of the eBook  Into the Mists: Colors of Awakening.

Summary from Amazon:

'“Have you ever felt like you knew what was going to happen?"

Have you ever felt like you were seeing something that was not supposed to be there? ...Have you ever felt different? Terribly different?”

"My beautiful girls, you are witches.”

In those few words, Kate Collins’ world- along with that of her two best friends- Sophie Lolens and Alexa Peters, collapses.

With their lives on the balance, the girls are transported to a magical world that coexists with our own ”" The Mists. There they learn the truth that was hidden from them all of their lives, and about the destiny that patiently awaited their arrival.

Like a snow ball that begins its roll innocently enough, the girls are rapidly carried from a colorful fairytale into the twisted corridors of a dark story, filled with cobwebs, intrigue, secrets and lies, all converging together under the growing shadow of an awakening war in that magical world.

The snow ball won’t stop until the girls reach the point of no return, where love and family will be on the balance and death on the other hand of the scale.

˃˃˃ A wonderfully thrilling fantasy book

A wonderfully thrilling young adult fantasy book, which will be sure to leave you wanting more. “Colors of Awakening” is freshly fascinating, funny and sincere, and will take you to a new magical world you won’t want to part with.'

The summary really pulled me in. I was definitely excited to start reading the book, but within the first two chapters, I wanted to sleep. The prologue was interesting. There was mystery and danger that begged me to keep reading.

Then the first chapter almost lulled me to sleep. There were word choices that would make young people look into a dictionary, but who would want to do that? The minute some people see some unfamiliar words, they get turned off and stop reading. I'm not one of those people, but the characters are just eh. I didn't really feel for them. They were kind of boring and they sounded like the representation of Mary Sues. The vibrant, loud one and the dark, quiet one.
They act like the kind of teenagers adults think would be teenagers. With definite personalities based on their looks/ideas/etc. I was not amused. Within the first few sentences describing each one, I was bored to tears. There might have been some redeeming qualities in the next couple of chapters, but who would want to keep reading something that bores them? 

With the rotating P.O.V., it's confusing to figure out which person is speaking. The many characters are kind of hard to keep up with. All in all, I just wasn't into the book. Maybe I'll try to reread the book one day and get a different idea of the book.
