I love magical fantasies, and love to try this one as well. I wish that it is not too much 'girlish' or 'childish'. Congratulations on being BOTD

This sounds highly entertaining, an vaguely reminiscent of the story behind the movie Frozen. I think lovers of the scI-fi fantasy genre will be bewitched by this one. Many thanks for your review,

A nice fantasy novel "Awakening" by Tayma Tameem, which revolves around a magical land and focuses on the two princess and explores the intricate tapestry of their family bonds. The book appears quite appealing to me.

It seems like you really got into the story given that there's nothing critical about it. To that extent, it is consistent that you should award it a top rating.

Personally, I have always enjoyed mystery/thriller kind of books. I have recently read some sci-fi and fantasy novels and my interests are changing.

This is a fantasy story about two princesses, Katja and Amara. Quick-tempered Amara has the ability to form ice through her fingertips. I read the sample and want to read more of this fascinating story. Congratulations to the author for being chosen as BOTD. Great review! Thanks so much to the reviewer for your interesting review.

I love the theme of sisterly love. You wouldn't want to get on Katja's bad side! I, too, am curious about how she got amnesia, yet maintained her "powers". Great review!

Awakening ~ is a Sci-Fi Fantasy Book of a magical fairytale story which features the struggle of two princessesses, hoping to embark upon the path of self-discovery, suspense and sisterly love. An amazing adventure, fantasy, thrilling self-discovery and suspense. A reminder of 'Frozen' (the movie).

A story which continues to tell of tow well written beautifully fluctuates from past to present maintaining the flow of the tale, along with bits of wisdom, twists, surprises and turns.

Thanks to the Aurhor

This book somewhat reminds me of Frozen. A magical fantasy about princesses, I can read that. Thanks.

The Spirit of Brikkir — also called the Spirit of Winter — runs through the veins of Princess Amara, who is now a Queen of Ice. From a very young age, she was able to summon and control ice, which scared the court magician. Although the King and Queen tried to tame her powers, whenever Amara became angry, she lost control of them. As she was growing up, Amara struggled to conceal her still hidden powers, and only her beloved sister, Katja, was able to calm her down. Back in the present time, Katja is shown struggling among the town’s people, trying to remember her past and discovering the truths about her sister and the so-called malefic Queen of Ice. What happened in the meantime? Did Amara’s resentment engulf her and release the darkness within her? Will Katja remember the bond that she once shared with Amara? And moreover, what will be the future of Hale’s Kingdom?

The story captures the essence of sisterly love between the two princesses — as well as a slight hint of platonic, teenage romance between them and the Princes of Sol-

The plot sounds a whole lot like Disney’s Frozen but I'm glad there are stories like this one that sparks our imagination and that focus on other kinds of love other than a romantic one.
An amazing review as always, @InStoree.
