Knight Awakened Circle of Seven Coreene Callahan Books

This book has a nice story arc and creative premise. Characters are likeable or at least intriguing. Decent writing style and kept a good pace, making it sufficiently engaging. Now, it is worth a read, definitely, BUT I would strongly recommend stopping there. I continued on to the second book in the series "Knight Avenged" and it was like hitting a brick wall of blabber. I mean, bad.

The internal dialogue of almost every character is torturous, rambling and completely stalls all action and story progression. Not to mention, the internal cadence, vocabulary, and language usage is IDENTICAL for every single character. They ALL use "Jesus" as a blasphemy about every five sentences and they ALL use modern references in their thoughts, which is so distracting, you can't possibly maintain willful suspension of belief as a reader. The author catapults you out of the story so many times, it is literally like a chore to force yourself back in. For example, here we are in a mystic, supernatural world the author has constructed, with different Gods, Goddesses etc....but then the characters think things like, and I'm quoting here, "No harm, no foul," or "love em' and leave em' fast." What? They have basketball references, modern religion references that do not fit the universe she built, and country music lyrics? Good grief. It is ridiculously painful to get through Knight Avenged. The second book is literally about 150 pages too long, every single sentence of that with pointless, wordy internal dialogue.

I knew for certain the author is actually the same person because her writing style is strongly identifiable, but it seems like the first book, Knight Awakened, she submitted to a wise editor, and in the second book, she just ran with it, which is nothing short of disastrous to an otherwise promising series concept.

Knight Awakened Circle of Seven Coreene Callahan Books Reviews

I had read the first two books in the author's Dragonfury series which I enjoyed. I had intended to try this book when it was originally published, but I admit that I got completely distracted with other books. Ooops. )

Anyways, I saw a Facebook posting that this was on sale, so while I was at work (shhhhh, don't tell anyone!), I decided to go on and order this. (Have I mentioned that it's a lot easier to read holding my iPhone as I'm walking at work to and from the restroom, break room, and my desk than a paperback?)
I'm glad I did decide to pick the book up though. I enjoyed reading Xavian and Afina's story.

Was the book the absolute best? No, it wasn't. I found one thing positively annoying with the story...the somewhat constant use of 'traitor'. And I'm not talking about a human traitor- I'm referring to the overused word that was used for penis. If I saw it once, I saw it 20 times. I didn't really count, but I think you get my point.

The characters were interesting- I'm not sure who I want to read about more - Cristobal? Henrik? Regardless, I will be reading the next books in the series.

I'd consider this a paranormal historical read by the way. If you're wanting non-paranormal, this probably isn't your story that you should be reading, unless you have an open mind. )
I’m a long-time fan of Coreene Callahan’s dragon novels, but just recently I read Knight Awakened and Knight Avenged. They are wonderful. A creative combination of a medieval world-view and paranormal elements. (And there are still dragons!)

The plot is excellent with never a dull moment for nothing less than gargantuan stakes. But the heart of any romance novel, despite the setting, is the relationship between the two lovers. Here Coreene has outdone herself. Each relationship is between a supreme warrior with a wounded heart and a strong, gentle woman. Sigh. I think I need to go read them again…..
1331AD Transylvania
Xavier leads his fellow assassins that escaped from their dark beginning in life and tormentor to unite together, forgoing their life as assassins. embracing life that is their own instead of slaves, they protect each other and the innocent they come upon. When Xavier is asked to find a woman by a warlord with grander ambitions, X finds Afina and her 2 year old child struggling to survive. To protect her Xavier takes Afina to his stronghold. This is a new series from the grand imagination of the author who brought the NIghtfury magical dragon world. Callahan created another equally fascinating world with exponential possibilities! This world has magic, goddesses, fantastic sword play, dragons and infinity possibilities for future books. The characters are complex and compelling. The story is fast paced and suspenseful. The bond between Afina and Xavier is a tangible bond that can withstand time! I will definitely read the sequential books!
A good tale. Hot sex and all ruined with fake period language. Too much and at times inappropriate . Made me want to scream, took away from the story. If I could have done a word search and deleted all the mayhaps, tis, and ayes it would have been a good escape from reality read. Girl has magic but needs a mate to keep it and her alive. And not any mate but of course a hot warrior type. Made Thor look like a pansy. But really the author had no clue about Middle Age language. The over use of mayhaps did not change or add to the book. Just annoyed me. It is a story of goddess, magic, dragons and doesn't need the idiotic phrases that really are not from the Middle Ages. The author needs to read Chaucer if she wants true middle English. But as my tag says who really cares. I didn't finish cause one more mayhap and I'd be in a tis. I will not buy another book in this series.
