Product Description

Product Description

War is everywhere.

Shae is consumed by a vicious war between the human Imperium and a brutal race known only as the Raz. Humanity stands on the edge of destruction as the Razian forces advance city by city, burning everything in their path. Waking to find no memory of his troubled past and haunted by the implications of his abilities, Andor must find his place in this violent world, discover who he was, who he is, and what all of this means for Shae...

5.0 out of 5 stars Innovative Writing 27 Mar 2012

Despite my initial apprehension at reading a book by an author I'm unfamiliar with, I cannot praise Andor: Awakening (The Shae Series) highly enough; the graphic, sensory descriptions really bring this dynamic new world out of the pages (as is evident from the first parargraph - "the single break in an otherwise seamless sheet of azure"), and complement the intricately-woven plot with exceptional flair.

Perhaps more impressive still is the degree of character development that appears effortlessly blended into an already detailed and layered landscape - characters are immediately accessible in their fundamental personalities, and further defined through the use of subtle hints at great emotional depths that make each character a true tapestry of thoughts and experiences.

I could go on, but feel it more appropriate to keep this review short(ish) and conclude as follows; it is rare to stumble upon such a distinctive and precise author so early in their career. I am left yearning for O'Keeffe's future works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent debut! 17 July 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I downloaded this book three days ago and really struggled to put it down.

The pace is terrific throughout, I care about the characters, and I didn't feel bogged down by unnecessarily detailed descriptions (which I find happens with some of the more established fantasy authors).

My only criticism would be the frequency of typos; those that should be picked up by proofreaders rather than a spellchecker.

Bottom line is - I can't wait for the sequel!
