Kiera's Quest: Awakenings – Kristy Brown

Meet Kiera, a pretty, intelligent, and talented girl, brought up by her uncle, and abandoned by her parents. Life is as normal as she believes it to be, apart from the deep ache inside her, telling her she’s different. For years, Kiera had dreams where she ventures into a different reality.

Life is as normal as she believes it to be, apart from the deep ache inside her, telling her she’s different. For years, Kiera had dreams where she ventures into a different reality. She’s not alone; a presence is always there, keeping her safe, yet she feels vulnerable, and hunted.

Zakk, Prince of Zantar, is under the Witch Queen’s spell as she tries to take over his world. He crosses paths with Kiera, and their fates are entwined.

As their journey unravels, she learns that she is not the only one affected by this prince. Who is on her side? Will she find out why she has been chosen? How can someone so young, defeat such evil? Will she find the strength to save the ones closest to her? Will this be Kiera’s only Quest?



Such a beautiful and heartfelt story.

Kristy has written such an amazing story for both young readers and young adults. This story suited both ages for many reasons. The fact that Zakk comes to Kiera as a doll and he retaionship they develop really suits everyone. It’s like a transition, like being a tween. The inbetween stage of not being a child and not yet an adult.



Life for Kiera was made hard because of Zakk being a doll. I really felt that this story helps young people see what life is about and how growing up brings changes and it makes us realise we can still hold onto our childhood in our own ways. It made me realise how as we grow up people will pick on others who are not yet at the same stage we are in life.



This story has so much meaning and I really recommend that any young person should read this.



I can’t wait to see what Kristy has install for both Kiera and Zakk in the next instalment.

5/5
