Waiting for Aegina (The Gift Saga, #2)Waiting for Aegina by Effie Kammenou
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Waiting for Aegina by Effie Kammenou is the second book to this saga and it can be  read as a standalone and there are back references to the characters from the first book  so it doesn’t feel as though you re missing out but I would read Evanthia’s Gift first. It  is a well crafted story and the world in which Effie has created is something you can  imagine. This story pulls on a lot of emotions and is a lot more power packed and  dramatic than Evanthia’s Gift and is an honest and heartfelt portrayal of a young Greek  girl who is now a woman and her friends and is told by the main character’s point of  view.    All in all Waiting for Aegina is a really enjoyable read.

Waiting for Aegina is the second book in The Gift Saga by Effie Kammenou.
We pick up right where the Evanthia’s Gift finished off. And again, we are treated to a beautiful story that tugged on my heartstrings. The author writes beautifully, painting vivid images with her words. The details and descriptions transported me into the story and I followed along as the story transpired. This journey of friendship, connections, and love is a fitting sequel to the first book. I loved catching up with characters from the first book, as well as meeting some new ones. The characters really make this story special.
I think this book is a little more complex and dramatic than the first one. But every bit as enjoyable. The Greek culture and heritage depicted in the story adds an honest, fascinating and enlightening element to the book.
The story has a great pace, a smooth flow and is easy to read. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this awesome saga.

Thank you, Ms. Kammenou!

Evanthia's Gift (The Gift Saga #1)Evanthia’s Gift by Effie Kammenou
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Evanthia’s Gift (The Gift Saga Book 1) by Effie Kammenou is​ a beautifully written old fashioned love story and is hard to put down. This book is an emotional roller coaster ride. One minute you are laughing and loving, the next will see you crying and yelling at the characters and wanting to knock some sense into them. There were alot of tears, sometimes in joy, sometimes in frustration and sometimes in heartache. I learnt so much about the Greek way of life and families and history of the war they endured.

If you are looking for beautiful love stories that spans over many years, generation to generation, then Evanthia’s Gift is a must and so is the tissue box!
