Awakening the Gods (Rise of the Celtic Gods #1)Awakening the Gods by Kristin Gleeson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this story. This is a new author for me and I look forward to reading more from her in the future. This is a well written story that is full of magic, myths and an adventure that you won’t soon forget. The characters are connectable and give the story life on each page. I found this story to be fast paced and I had a hard time putting it down. This is an urban fantasy story that has a twist of romance added. Saoirse and Smithy have one thing in common and that is music. Both of their lives collide and set on a path that was meant to be. This turns into an adventure of awakening the gods and defending the land but it also could mean life or death. This is really a great adventure story that kept me turning pages. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the beginning and what an adventure it was. I really enjoyed this story and I highly recommend it.

3.5 Stars

 

Awakening the Gods is the first book in the Rise of the Celtic Gods series by Kristin Gleeson. This is a wonderful mix of urban fantasy, adventure, Celtic folklore, magic, music, adventure, and romance- all wrapped up in a high stakes quest against a powerful adversary, and where our characters find themselves taking a path forged by fate, risking it all and laying everything on the line in order to save the day.
I enjoyed this first book in the series and I will definitely keep an eye out for the next book.

Thank you, Kristin Gleeson!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Saoirse is a young woman who finds out the life she knew is anything but. After getting canned at her barista job she learns that her father has died and that she was adopted. MINDBLOWN. Well, as she is adapting here comes her real grandmother. She goes to visit her for a bit and ends up loving Cord with its quirky people and fantastic music. She also meets Smithy, who has a mysterious air about him. These two have an adventure of a lifetime, or maybe two, trying to figure out why. Though she learns that her grandmother is Mother Earth and there are so many secrets and mythteries to be uncovered. This book is absolutely FANTASTIC. Even though I didn’t understand what some words meant, i loved the community amongst the characters. The whole mythtery around the plot kept me never wanting to see this book end. (P.S. Is it November yet? I’ll be eagerly awaiting Book 2). There are 2 plots that intertwine so smooth. The description in the book just fuels my desire to visit Ireland. Big recommend! 5/5

A failed barista, a reclusive blacksmith. Can they avoid the call of the Irish Gods?
Saoirse knows playing traditional music once a week in a local Dublin pub won’t get her a career, but it’s all she’s got, especially after she’s fired from her barista job. But then her father dies and her life is set into a spin, especially when an unknown grandmother comes calling.
Music is Smithy’s one joy that is left to him that has a residue of the magic he lost long ago. Creating things in his forge, tucked away in rural Cork, increasingly reminds him of what he’s lost and why he must resist the requests of the Tuatha De Danann. They want him to join their efforts to battle their biggest nemesis, a powerful and dangerous god who is threatening the destruction of Eire, the land they hold so dear.
But events and gods conspire to bring Saoirse and Smithy to the path that was meant to be. It’s time for the gods to awake and answer the call to defend the land. But doing so could mean risking death.
