review 1: I do admit I "bought" the Kindle version when it was temporarily "free". I almost didn't. In fact, I went searching for something else, but kept coming back to "The Magic Wakes". I'm a scifi fan, and the scifi portion of the description caught my interest. So, I decided I had nothing to lose by trying it. I AM SO GLAD I DID!!! I stayed up all last night reading it because I couldn't put it down (yawnnnnn...). The first thing I did after catching 40 winks was to see if there was a sequel. I'm so glad to find out there is at least one and maybe more. This was an awesome first book, and I say this as an avid reader of just about anything, but especially scifi and mystery/thrillers. This was all that plus some magic/fantasy thrown in.
review 2: Bradford's debut nov... moreel really draws one in to the fantasy world she has created. Talia has nightmares that leave visable scars on her flesh. She is healed by energy from the sunsrise. Her nightmares are a sign of impending doom, and there is trouble afoot. The old king is dying and has a secret to tell his son and nephew. There are a lot of important characters in this novel, and most of them have secrets. The build-up of intrigue helps the reader turn page after page faster and faster to reach the conclusion.My son would give it 5 stars because there's a dragon, but then he'd take one away because there's not enough swordplay and there might be some kissing (he's 10). I give it 4 stars because there are a LOT of characters and it was hard to keep up with them in the beginning, but the magic and the realism of the science fantasy was really good. I'm looking forward to future books by Bradford.DISCLAIMER -- I got this book as an Amazon special. The author and I have some of the same writing circle friends, so we are friends on FB, which is how I learned of the Amazon special. Although I want to, the author and I have yet to meet IRL. In any event, I have done my best to give a fair and honest review of her work here. less
