I would like to thank the author for sending me a copy to review.Kiera's Quest: Awakenings is book one in Kiera's Quest Series. Kiera is a normal girl who is worried about school and an upcoming talent competition. Everything is normal until she has dreams of a different world and of a boy. When she discovers a unique doll her world is turned upside down and she finds herself fighting for not just her life but those she loves as well. Prince Zakk lost everything and everyone he loves to the Witch Queen. She casts a spell on him as she turns his world into a barren wasteland. He has to fight to break the curse and survive before time runs out. He'll need Kiera's help to save his world and survive.I liked the premise. The plot was interesting and engaging. The characters were okay but the story was too short. It seemed a little too rushed with the characters just kind of jumping from one place to another. I would have liked to enjoy the story and I think I would have more if it was longer and I felt more from the characters. The characters just kind of went along with things too easily and I think this might be due to pushing to plot too quickly. It wasn't a bad read but I was hoping for more.I would recommend this for middle grade readers who love fantasy and adventure.I would rate this 3.5 stars.
