Awakening Defiance

The Saoirse Saga, Book 2

By: Teagan Kearney

Narrated by: Apryl Renee West

Kia wants more than survival. She wants vengeance and her freedom.

Kia has joined Lord Rial’s elite guard and is collecting secrets. Secrets that can get her killed. The pretense of being Rial's consort offers some protection, but neither of them trusts the other. When the chance for retribution on her father's betrayers comes, she takes it. But there is a price to pay.

Her feelings toward Rial change, and Kia is shocked when she discovers the emperor’s schemes include experiments on his son. If her ambition to destroy the emperor is to succeed, she must rescue Rial. But are her desperate last-minute plans enough to save him?

Fast paced and exciting!

Great read! I definitely recommend reading book one first. I loved the character development and emotion in this book. Lots of action and plot twists that keep you engaged the entire time. Kia is a thoughtful and well planned lead. I liked watching her growth and her determination. I was given this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. My thoughts are my own.

Excellent 2nd Story in this Series!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this continuation of this series and the Writers continued development of the main characters. Kia thought young and relatively naive at beginning of book 1 has gone through enough to have matured quite a lot.
Great read looking forward to next book!

Interesting

To be frank, I have not read the first book of this series. I don’t think that was terribly detrimental to my experience with this book. The narration was acceptable but sounds a bit breathy/hissy if that makes any sense. The story had some solid action that was enjoyable but felt like it hopped around a bit too much—maybe this is where the first book may have helped but I have my doubts.

Parents: mentions intimate relationships and there is some mild language and some solid violence. Not a young adult book.

If you enjoy space age domination with a side of the essence of good intentioned Stockholm syndrome, give this a shot. But maybe read the first book ;)
