Review: Magic awakening (Bound To Stone Series Book 1) by Alina Giuchici

Magic awakening by Alina Giuchici
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Has Potential

I really wanted to like this book. It had so many things in it that I like, gargoyles, witches, vampires and elves. It has good and evil and unknown magical powers coming to life. It’s also got the promise of it being a Reverse Harem, which is a bonus. Sadly it’s got lots of ‘bits’ to it and those bits don’t necessarily hang together smoothly.

I feel like this book could have benefitted from a different editor. There was lots of promise, the characters were interesting and the world building was quite strong but it just needed all the rough edges smoothing so it all hung together better. The plot was a bit jumpy as it skipped between POV with no warning and those jumps also seemed to skip key bits of plot, when a few sentences would have made things a bit clearer.

I am surprised that this isn’t a first book, because it reads like one, but apparently there are several other books by this author that have been published. As this is the case, I don’t think I’ll try any others in this series, because I can’t see the annoyance I felt from reading this book being removed in the next one.
