Energy - Awakening (The Energy Chronicles Book 1)

A powerful new order arrives, completely unexpected and without warning, and things are never the same again. Today, humanity stands on the cusp of the Fourth Awakening. The First Awakening… occurred approximately , years ago when Homo Sapiens emerged in East Africa, but it took another , years for things to begin to get interesting.

The Second Awakening… saw the emergence of spoken language, early shamans, and great myths being told around the campfire. For the first time, early humans became self aware and while still considering themselves a part of nature they understood they were now different. In the middle of the Second Awakening we saw rudimental art in the form of cave drawings and crude figurines…and with it the first indications that humanity is deeply interconnected.

The last great ice age ended with the perfect storm for human development. As is the case with every Awakening, something clicked on inside us. During the Second Awakening, humanity began to perceive the future and past in new ways that enabled planning.

Fourteen thousand years ago, this allowed us to begin to plant crops and keep livestock which in turn allowed for larger fixed population centers. As the food supply grew and became more predictable there was a population explosion and a series of cultural revolutions. During the last part of the Second Awakening the changes in mankind were stunning. In a clear example of universal consciousness, many completely independent cultures around the world went through their own Bronze and Iron Age at approximately the same time.

The Third Awakening… began around 3, years ago. I immediately fell in love with the characters especially Brighton and Lillian. This book was easy to follow and I enjoyed every twist and turn of the ongoing adventure. I felt myself on a emotional landslide along with each of the characters.

I laughed, cried, and even yelled a few choice words at times. I could not put this book down, I had to know what would happen next with each turn of the page. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that is looking a great read. I can see this book becoming a best-seller in no time. I can easily see it being made into a movie and being a huge hit.

It's a long one but certainly doesn't feel it. There is never a dull moment, plenty of action and a bit of romance. I couldn't recomend it enough and I can't wait for the next one.

This is an amazing book. I started reading it last night at about 11pm when I couldn't fall asleep and the next thing I know I've finished the book and it is 5 am. It was a good thing I had today off.

I literally couldn't put it down until I'd finished. Review link to follow. May 30, Duncan McGonall rated it it was ok. The plot structure is interesting and unique. Every time I thought the story was reaching a high point, there was more, and still more after that. Such a structure emphasizes the action and deemphasizes the personal journey of characters. Brighton strives to be a dynamic character and in the close background is his wife and girlfriend, who is for the most part static. The mixture of plot driven story and character driven story does not come off well.

Brighton and Lilian are in love, and though n The plot structure is interesting and unique. Brighton and Lilian are in love, and though not explicit, the hanky panky between them is overdone. Plot points are many, perhaps too many and because the characters are not well developed its difficult to decide what is subplot and what is main. In several places I wondered why? The work is not without its redeeming qualities. As plot goes, the basic elements present are mostly very good. It is their arrangement that is troubling.

The story runs into trouble trying to make room for other dynamic characters in its keep.

The Fourth Awakening

His actions following the unseating of the regime that had been in place for years is not plausible and the results following the vacuum he left are predictable, and among the characters should have been foreseeable. He accepts all responsibility for initiating change and none for seeing that change through, leaving it to others and does so under the guise of noble intentions. Despite his awesome powers, Brighton is a disappointingly shallow character lacking foresight. Brighton is cruel in this respect. He believes removal of the Supremes or a king who has corrupted his unreasonable intention should fix everything and assumes no responsibility beyond that.

His lesson learned could have had much more impact if it had taken more form as a theme or a thread beginning earlier is the story. But as it appears, seems more like a last minute add-on.

Brighton went after the new king after he has rendered the entire affair without any ability to effect him or his family at all, which really makes no sense. Brighton, despite his size and ability and developing skill and despite every effort to present him differently, is very much like a confused teenager. Parts of Energy are well done. As a whole story; however, it lacks roundness. The work is a fairly accurate reflection of the complications of life, but the setting leads the reader to believe they are reading fantasy. Apr 23, Joyce rated it it was amazing.

I found this book to be an incredible surprise! I came into reading this novel expecting something along the normal lines of the paranormal genre I could even see this being an amazing movie one day. This book starts with just two young kids who grew up together, but it ends worlds away from anything you could possibly imagine. Brighton and Lilian face more trials and hardships than I could ever possibly imagine in just one novel Its an incredible journey that I haven't been able to get off my mind since I read the last page, and I finished the book a few days ago.

If you read the first chapter, and then skip to the last chapter of this book, aside from the character's names, you wouldn't even think it was the same story. It changes and progresses more than you could have ever thought possible for one novel, and I loved every minute of it. There were new surprises around every turn, and I really couldn't wait to find out what happened next.

I feel that the story that the author created is genius in how it was portrayed. The journey doesn't always go where you want it to go so its never really predictable or boring, but the author knows his audience well enough to know when to give in and give them exactly what they want to happen. It keeps it interesting, and keeps the reader happy, which in my case made it incredibly addictive.

I loved each of the characters, but really loved Mischeif and Velvet you just have to read to find out who they are because I am not telling. There is a love story that transpires, which is a little predictable, but its works for this book, because it is not the main focus of the novel, and everthing happens exactly as the reader would want it to happen. Its everything that any reader would be secretly hoping for when it comes to the two main characters.

What really surprised me was how much I really loved and enjoyed the supportive characters in this book. They are really what made it amazing! They are unique, and you will fall in love with each personality. You will laugh, and cry, and be incredibly angry along with each one of them on this journey.

This book really sucked me in, and I was right there each step of the way on the adventure, struggling when the charcters struggled, fighting when they fought I only put this book down when I absolutely HAD TO, and almost burned dinner one night because I was standing by the stove with my kindle, and got sucked back into the story line and forgot to watch the food even though I was standing right beside it.

Once you get into it, you just "have" to find out what happens next. Just a warning, Bedtimes will be obsolete until you finish reading. You will lose track of time as you are brought into this wonderful world, and fighting for your life along side all of the wonderful characters.

I was thoroughly impressed through out the entire adventure, and can't wait to continue it in the next book!! May 29, Monica rated it it was amazing. Energy was a really great and enjoyable read; you will not be disappointed!!!

They live in a small peaceful town called Four Mountains where everyone shares their food and lives in a normal society.

As young teenagers, they soon start to dig deeper in their feeling and realize their friendship has blossomed into something else. He has powers that no other has seen—he can manipulate energy and feel the presence in anything that is living—humans, plants, etc. With his one and only parent dead and realizing that Lily is gone and never coming back, he settles with an older lady that provides his shelter. He takes all this pain and suffering into his work—working long and hard to rid of the sadness and emptiness his best friend left behind.

Soon enough, after about 6 years has past and he is an adult, he meets Lily again. Will Brighton find the courage to fight for his true love? Will he give everything up for her or will he destroy the Dark Ones in order to gain peace in this world? If so, will the people make this world a more peaceful place? The answers will reveal in this action packed, suspenseful, page-turning adventure. Schutte takes us on an unforgettable journey that will leave you wanting more.

I found this book with so much suspense and action that I thought it would never end which is a good thing ; It also left me in tears in some parts and in awe of the surprises that were hidden. I can easily see this book published as two books. I really loved this book and cannot wait to read Birth of a Wizard which is part two in the series. The romance between these two is beautiful and protective. I loved that there was no love triangle—he and she already knew that there was no other love then themselves.

I received this book from the Author for an honest review.

I enjoyed this book but felt it was a bit slow to start. Once you get into the story line, after Brighton lives with Carmen for a few years, the story picks up and becomes a bit smoother. It can also be a bit predictable and choppy in areas with some of the characters lacking character? We know what Lily looks like down to her pink bows but never really know what Adri looks like or Brac, they just kind of exist in a one dimensional wor I received this book from the Author for an honest review.

We know what Lily looks like down to her pink bows but never really know what Adri looks like or Brac, they just kind of exist in a one dimensional world. Committing myself to a story that is more than pages long, I want to feel like I live with these people in the three dimensional world of my mind. Don't get me wrong this is a great story and will transport the reader into the world of the Dark Ones whose evil magic has kept everyone in line for thousands of years.

It will enthrall you and has just enough romance, adventure and magic to keep the story moving until the end. I also love the panthers! The story starts off were we meet Brighton and Lily, two teenagers who have grown up together in a small town called Clareton or Four Mountains. Just when their relationship starts becoming more serious, Lily is dragged off by a Dark One who holds a secret about her past and ultimately her future. Brighton in a fit of rage from losing everything he ever loved, vows to search for her and the robed stranger until he learns of her untimely death.

Brighton has secrets of his own that he has yet to learn about and master with the help of an old friend. Years go by and Lily returns from the dead to find Brighton living in another town and still deeply in love with her. They find out they possess powers that can pull the energy from other living things to survive, just like her father Seth and the other Supremes have been doing for over years.

Here the battle for good starts as they try to free the enslaved towns and cities that find themselves under the rule of the Supreme Dark Ones. Even when they go to the heart of the Dark One's castle, they can not lose hope that good will overcome evil. But even when they help defeat one evil they open up another form of evil and greed that Brighton feels he has to fix. But he just may find that fixing them will mean he has to give up himself in the process.

A good start to the Energy Chronicles, Energy - The Awakening, will find you looking over your shoulder for the robed figures with long black tendrils coming out of their hands. Looking forward to Book 2! Aug 29, Linda Rollins rated it liked it. This is the story of a young man and his special gift. It is a fantasy story which is simply written and uncomplicated.

I think by the way that the story is written it is meant predominantly for young adults and because of this I do have some concern about the graphic nature of the many violent incidents. It is an interesting story, analogous with many conflict situations including those such as modern day Iraq: Who i This is the story of a young man and his special gift. The writing felt a little clinical and I personally thought that it was padded out quite a lot with unnecessary dialogue; giggly teenage romance; lots of hunting and preparing of food and lengthy explanations which removes any necessity for good old imagination.

The two main characters were not particularly strong and I think this made them less likable. That said, I thought overall this was an enjoyable story with lots of strengths. It was so hard to put this book down, once I started reading it I just wanted to hurry up and read it but I needed to pace myself and not rush through it. Energy was more than I expected!

I really feel in love with this book because of the characters. Energy has love, and magic combined and when M. Schutte combined them two together it worked out greatly. The way Lillian and Brighton feel in love at such a young age and stayed in love when they were separated was amazing. There were a lo Wow! There were a lot of parts in this book where I was constantly smiling and giggling along with the characters. This story is about two people Lillian and Brighton who find out they have magic powers and they come from "The Dark Ones" who have used their powers to kill and be ruthless leaders.

One day Lillian is taken away from Brighton and Brighton loses everything his mother and his place of security. I was given a copy of this book by the author in exchange for my honest review.

The characters are well defined and their roles flow together and enhance each other. The world building is good and I look forward to seeing more of it. This is a very good start in the Elemental Chronicles and can't wait to get my eyes on Reaper. Sep 15, Mandy Walkden-Brown rated it it was amazing Shelves: Very enjoyable fantasy read. Well written, an absorbing fantasy with intricate world building and fully three-dimensional characters.

Perfect amount of humour between Princess Alicea and Mr. Thief aka Rufus and watching Alicea turn the tables on her supposed kidnapper was fun. Enjoyed the magic system, the battles were well depicted and each character had their own distinctive voice. Overall an immersive, compelling book.

I originally received this as a free eARC, but enjoyed it so much I purchased my own copy as it's definitely going onto my reread pile. Needless to say I'm rather looking forward to the next book in the series to see just where this story goes. Oct 28, Rosemary Hughes rated it it was amazing.

For a first book attempt I am stunned by the professional and polished product that has been presented. The story is a very individual one, different in content and style to a lot on the market. A very refreshing change and I look forward to reading the next book in the series.
