Once again I am left hanging onto the final words, wishing there were more to follow. Book 3 of The Awakened opens up with Adair and the place where he's being held. He's developed a sort of, camaraderie, with one of the men who has saved him and is now questioning him. But Adair soon realizes that all of this conversation is not to his benefit. For the one thing he wants is to return to his home. So he begins to play this man, for he realizes it's the only way he has a chance.From here we find Maeryn being moved to a new home, where she is to keep track of the resistance at the command center. Unbeknownst to her, the man she is working for was revealed to be an enemy. He's working to his own ends for this resistance. Not as a way to free the slaves, but rather, as a way to create an army out of those freed.And we find Kael, paralyzed from his final encounter in the previous book. He is with Saba and Dacien, unable to even communicate at first. But, with time, Kael learns of other capabilities that his "sense" can accomplish and he begins to heal himself.There are reunions and changes that unfold quickly in this story. The battles are pretty epic, and new information is brought to light. Some of it is only touched upon, no doubt being left for the next book. But great strides are made to turn the course of events and it becomes clear to Saba, near the end, that someone he prophesied to appear is now known.I wonder, who that is... THE AWAKENED HAS COME! I really love this series. I can't wait till the author writes the next installment. I have to admit I was a bit disappointed when I got near the end of the book and realized it was not all going to be resolved in this third installment. Then afterwards reading comments by the author that his next books are going to be a series of three prequels before he even writes the fourth book of this series. I'm a bit aggravated by that. I enjoyed the story of all three of these books though. Loved the characters and how they all seemed to be intertwined. I think I could have done with less battle description and more moving on to the next thing but I suppose that is needed in the story.
What do You think about Hands To Make War (2011)?
Great book. Now got to wait for book four :(
