A most enjoyable story filled with Goddess energy

I love how the sacred feminine energy is awakening even more deeply and fully on the planet at this time, and I thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful story filled with the Goddess energy set during the time of Atlantis. This was a book I didn't want to put down. Jodine Turner does a wonderful job of bringing her characters to life while taking you on a vivid journey into the life of Geodran, who is awakening to the Goddess's calling and stepping into her life as a priestess. There was a nice balance of both the sacred feminine as well as the sacred masculine throughout the story that I found nourishing to my spirit; and plenty of suspense that kept me turning the pages to find out what happened next. What a gift you have, Jodine, for telling a wonderful, engaging story. I can hardly wait to read your next book!

Haunting

The Awakening is a wondrous ride of magic and fantasy with a remarkable cast of characters surrounding the heroine, Geodran. The adventures live on long past the pages, and while reading it, they became part of my waking thoughts of concern and wonder for and about them. It is rare that a book moves off its pages and into our hearts. This is such a tale!

A journey worth traveling!

This first book in Ms Turner's trilogy that travels through time with the Goddess of the Stars and the Sea is timely and thought provoking. In a world of separation, Geodren's journey reminds us of the necessity to restore the balance of the masculine and feminine within each one of us as well as with one another. There is an energy woven within the tapestry of The Awakening's storyline that engages the reader long after the book has been returned to the shelf. I find myself rereading it periodically to plug into the remembering that is stirred by the Goddess of the Stars and the Sea.....

Magical, moving, can't put it down fantasy...

This story is delightfully engaging with rich, imaginative settings, a fast moving plot and believable heroic and sinister characters. I was moved by the blend of passion and politics, spirituality and human frailty. There are wonderful twists and turns in the story right up to the very end....so appealing is the pace of this book, I found myself easily missing sleep to read just another few chapters....I was saddened when one of my favorite writers, Marion Zimmer-Bradley passed away...but with the release of Ms. Turner's first novel, I am renewed! I've already given this book to a half a dozen friends and I can't wait to read the next two installments in this trilogy!

Compelling!

This book is very good! From the moment I took it from its packing box, I could not put it down. I was almost glued to it until I finally turned the last page. Jodine Turner has written a wonderful and compelling tale, full of magic, suspense, and vibrantly alive characters; a tale which really draws the readers in and makes them care what happens to these characters. I look forward to Ms. Turner's next novel.
