Our view
“The Awakening” carries the “Darkest Powers” trilogy through its middle volume with ghosts, magic and a romance in no hurry. Some readers praise a quick plot that mixes action with horror, and like its characters. Others feel the events only fill the space between beginning and end, and find one of the characters hard to bear. Start with “The Summoning”, to which this is the sequel.
