The Two Worlds #1
Awakener
Most people dream when they sleep. At first I thought I was dreaming, too.
I'm not that lucky.
When I close my eyes, I don’t know if I’m coming back. Every night, I wake up on this alien planet. It’s a dangerous place where I’m hunted for magical powers that I have no clue how to use. Each and every night, it takes everything in me to survive. And then morning comes and I’m miraculously back in my bed.
Earth by day, new planet by night.
New day plan: get through class without nodding off, lie to everyone, and don’t get institutionalized.
New night plan: learn the rules, find allies, control the magic, and avoid the monsters that are trying to kill me.
This isn’t a dream. It’s real. And if it doesn’t stop, I’m dead.

This is book one of the Two Worlds series and has two sisters as the main characters, Kay and Nia. They live with their grandparents after their parents both died. Their grandfather is in the hospital in a coma, so they only have their grandmother to rely on now. One day at school, Kay falls asleep during class and awakens to find her in the world her grandfather told them both about as childhood stories. She believes she is only dreaming, until her sister turns up and tells her she is an Awakener and that Nia herself is a Creator. Kay will need to learn how to use her new skills, which she has no clue about, to awaken objects around her to become what she wants them to be. Nia can create anything she needs, but needs Kay to then awaken it to its use or purpose.
A distant legend tells of two sisters, descendants of one of the first ruling families that will be the ones to fulfil the prophecy and become the Akearman Stars, defeating the KaKonians, who are at war with all the other peace loving inhabitants of the planet of Turgor. Kay is paired with another trainee Awakener and they are given their first task, to awaken a Death Walker. A huge task for such untrained individuals as they are! Kay spends time at school on Earth during the day, unless she falls asleep, then she ends up back on Turgor, adding to her new education.
She needs to learn magic spells and quickly to complete her first task. What she doesn’t know, is her link to this legend and how powerful she actually is and how important she and her sister will be for the future of the planet and the war that comes for them sooner than expected. A great beginning to the series and I couldn’t believe it was over 300 pages, it read as if it was only about 100, as I got through it in one sitting and very quickly. I look forward to some more in the series, as this is just the beginning of the war and the sister’s discoveries about their powers. I received an ARC copy of this book from BookSprout and I have freely given my own opinion of the book above.

I was really disappointed with this one. It skewered too young for my liking and a lot of it was just disjointed and either felt like it was too derivative of other YA franchises OR like it wasn't living up to its potential. A lot of aspects here are promising; the prophecy, the expanding party of heroes, the magic system (minus the whole sci-fi bent; this would be a lot better as straight up urban fantasy honestly) but it's all so rushed and/or done a disservice by the execution.
The first couple of chapters essentially felt like what I was expecting from the cover and blurb; a fun teen sci-fi about astral projection. However it quickly went into a ton of scenes meant to explain the magic system and world that essentially felt like they were riffing off a million other YA series - the whole aspect of our hero going to classes and like, teen youth group sessions where we got fed long infodumps about the world...
The latter half of the book turns into an actual magical adventure with more action scenes, prophecies coming in, etc, but it all felt very, very rushed and underdeveloped. I liked meeting our expanding party enough, but we met them all too late, and in too quick succession.
Rena's mom, for example, has been in prison for years; we finally got to the prison after chapters of trying...and they just let her mom out like that? When Jala tells the rest of the party about how she was framed, they have literally no comment and just kind of accept it with no investigation, and then she's free to walk out of the prison without anybody else signing off on it. So many large interactions, reveals, and ideas/concepts are just hand-waved at without being further explained and explored.
I genuinely zoned out during the final battle scene. I had no clue who the villains were, what their motivations were, nor did I really care. The first interaction between our main character and Kristopher where she tries to act all tough and mentions women's rights was just pure unadulterated cringe. Kathleen consistently fails at everything she does (until she magically doesn't because someone reminds her she's a Chosen One Mary Sue and she somehow saves the day without trying) and now she wants to call herself a hero and has the nerve and audacity to act like marching into this man's graveyard and mouthing off to him when he asks to be left alone somehow makes her a feminist icon? Ma'am...please stop.
Also, let's talk about Nia: the narrative cannot decide whether Nia is a genius or a useless nerd. On the one hand she's constantly hyped up as the more knowledgable, trained sister, the scholar of the group, etc, BUT THEN she randomly either neglects to tell the group and her baby sister important things (which makes her look very fucking suspicious, not gonna lie; like if book two revealed she was doing it on purpose and was a traitor, I'd be more lenient, but at this rate I'm not sticking around to find out) and it just doesn't add up.
The thing is, when you tell me Nia is a genius and the world itself confirms it, because she's got all this esteem and high-ranking and she's busy and she's like an academic superstar, I'm going to believe you. So then when she acts dumb, it doesn't look like she is dumb, it looks like she's PLAYING DUMB at best, or is a massive two-faced bitch at worst. Several times Kathleen will find something important out and be like "Did you know about this?" and Nia is like "Yeah lol it just didn't seem important."
It was also strange that as soon as Kristopher introduced himself, everyone in the party nicknamed him Kris without establishing it with him or each other first. Like I could understand maybe Kathleen calling him Kris for short, but then her grandpa does it too. Would you really take such a random liberty with a stranger? At least without asking? IDK, it felt manufactured and forced and could have been brought in/established in a much smoother way with some simple, simple editing.
I tried to keep in mind that I wasn't the target audience for this but I genuinely feel like even if I was still a teenager, I'd think it was talking down to me a little. It's oversimplified and genuinely needs a few more rounds of editing to expand it and allow the concept to breathe and unfold more naturally.
1/5. Not for me, not continuing with book 2. :(

This is a short YA novella with a quite neat story line of a young teenager falling asleep in class – regardless of your age, you can probably relate to that – and waking up on a different planet/ world. The main character Kathleena “Kay” Ann McLaughlin with the help of her sister Nia McLaughlin, the more popular and initially thought of as more powerful sibling, sets out to discover her talents and save this world.
It has been compared to Narnia or even the Harry Potter series and while it is a really enjoyable read, for me it does lack the depth and careful planning of those novels. However, it is a novella after all.
So if you are looking for a good afternoon read in the fantasy YA genre, I would suggest giving it a try. Be warned however, this first book was published in 2014 with the follow up in 2019. Not sure if the second one ends with a cliffhanger but if it does, probably be prepared for quite a wait…

Kay McLaughlin and her sister, Nia, are evidently part of the fulfillment of a prophecy where two sisters become the Akearman Stars, capable of defeating the KaKonians. When the teenager Kay falls asleep in class, she awakens in the incredible world of Turgor, the location of the childhood stories their grandfather used to tell them about! Her sister Nia tells her that she herself is a Creator who can create whatever she needs, but then Kay, the Awakener, must awaken the object to whatever use or purpose she wants it for. Kay, who has no idea about how to do this, will need to learn how to use her new skills and talents – because she will be called on to save this “dream” world from its enemies!
This was a good book with great world-building, lots of action and suspense, and well-defined characters. It will pull the reader in right from the start as the author reveals the amazing aspects of Turgor and the sisters’ place in that world. Grab your copy and enjoy a fascinating journey!

Awakener is a Paranormal action story that is wrought with action, humor, magic, thrills, and some exciting twists and betrayal. Kay and her sister Nia discover that a fairytale that their grandfather used to share with them was not so much a tale as it is reality, their reality, but on another planet. This story is quite entertaining, and the characters keep you engaged with their very teenage-like responses to some of the difficulties that they find themselves in and to life itself. The teenage part of it seems to fit regardless of the being is human or something else.
Awakener is an excellent beginning to this series. There will be more obstacles that Kay, Nia, Rena, Kris, Lo Lo, Finny, and Dia will have to sort through, but they are quite the team. Awakener is the beginning, and it makes me look forward to the next book with great enthusiasm and hope.

I was given a copy of “The Two Worlds” by author Alisha Howard in exchange for an honest book review. I had met Ms. Howard on goodreads in a forum for authors and readers. She was happily discussing her book “The Two Worlds” and was looking for someone to read her book. After a brief discussion about her book, taking a small peak at the book description on Amazon, I was willing to take a gamble on her book.
One of the things that I have learned since I have started doing book reviews; I have become pretty set in what genres I don’t like reading. One of the genres that I try to avoid is YA. Now, don’t get me wrong, there are some great books out there that are YA. I have fallen in love with the Harry Potter and Narnia series. To me, these are actually more up there with the sci-fi books that I so do adore, but they are YA. What I struggle with about the YA genre is the teen angst that is so prevalent throughout the books. Being 42 years old, I struggle understanding the issues that the teens face in the books. I always find myself getting frustrated and just putting the books down. I have even found myself getting so upset that I just yell at the characters and shake my poor precious kindle.
After discussing with Ms. Howard that her book wasn’t going to be the “typical” YA book and not having all the drama and romance that most YA books tend to cover. Somewhat reluctant, I agreed to read her book. I even admit I even drug my feet when it came to picking up the book. Getting the book on April 7, 2014, I didn’t even start reading it until May 16. Now that I have finished the book, I can tell you this—I made a mistake! I judged her book off the genre and not the words. So, I guess the old saying of “Don’t judge a book by its cover” should also now be “Don’t judge a book by its cover or genre.”
*****
“The Two Worlds” by Alisha Howard starts off with one sentence that sets up exactly what you are about to jump head first into. “The day I found Turgor I learned three things: grass can talk, the sun can frown and there is life on other planets.” From that sentence alone you pretty much can assume that things are not going to be what they appear.
Kathleena “Kay” Ann McLaughlin is your typical 17-year-old girl. She has been up all night working on her assignment that she has put off till the last-minute. She has missed her normal ride to school. The humidity has taken a toll on her hair and her makeup.
Once she makes it to school, she finds her twin sister Nia waiting. Nia is the complete opposite of Kay. Nia is the “A” student, where Kay is struggling for her “C.” Nia is popular with the boys and is always attracting the attention of the best looking boys in school. Kay is just occupying space. Comparing herself to her outgoing twin, Kay feels that she is just an utter failure at anything that she does.
In class, doing as every teenager has done at one time or another, she starts to drift off. Doodling on her paper, the elf that she draws speaks to her. After being startled and creating a scene in class, Kay starts to doze off.
Waking up, she realizes that everything is different. She’s on the ground looking up at the sun. Kay finds herself somewhere that she isn’t familiar with. It’s when she takes off running and trips over her sister Nia that she starts to learn that she has traveled to another world. She is now in a world where the grass can talk, houses are alive, and her sister can perform magic. Learning that she is an Awakener, Nia is a Creator, and they are part of a prophecy that is supposed to help save the world of Turgor.
Kay discovers that she is capable of transporting between the two worlds through her sleep. Not certain that all that she is seeing is actually real and to help cope with the learning her new Awakening powers, Kay starts attending a magical school to help sharpen her abilities.
It’s through new friends that she acquires in this new world, that Kay learns that she is just as powerful as her sister Nia. It’s through these friends that Kay discovers that she has a purpose on this new world and that she is needed to help save humanity.
*****
This is a short story and didn’t take me that long to read. Being 105 pages, I was able to wiz through this book in one evening. However, the length of the book can’t compare to how big this story is. I actually found myself enjoying this new world, Turgor, through Kay’s eyes. It was interesting to learn the family secrets that she always believed were fairy tales told to her by her grandparents. To watch this girl learn and blossom from someone who felt was just taking up space, to become a powerful individual that possessed magical powers, was just amazing.
I found myself comparing this book to a short version of Harry Potter and Narnia. I found similarities to the two books in the magical world that the author created. I enjoyed how Ms. Howard was willing to create a world where inanimate objects came to life with just a polite command. I found myself being engulfed into the war that was taking place on Turgor and hoping that the good guys would prevail. I was also proud of how the main characters in this story are strong young females that were learning from their mistakes as well as gaining strength.
I was honestly surprised at how much I was drawn into the characters and the plot of this story. By the time I finished the book, I found that I was anxious to read the second installment of this series. I’m curious to find what happens to the girls now that they have discovered who they are and their capabilities.

Awakener is about 2 sisters, Nia and Kay. Kay falls asleep in class one day and wakes up on another planet, one that her grandfather told them about in his stories. Turns out they weren’t just stories. Nia shows up there too, and together they must work together to defeat the KaKonians. I really enjoyed this story! It was unique how the characters went to a different world. Awakener is a great start to this new series and it definitely leaves me wanting to read the next book!

I feel the story was a little slow in the beginning, but in the end it became good. We have Kay and Nia who are sisters and when they go to sleep they go to another planet. Kay is finding out there are different rules when she sleeps. What is she really? What is it that they are supposed to do? Can they learn or be thrown into something?

This is the 2nd book I've read written by Alisha Howard; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I can’t wait to read more of her books.
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.
I loved the characters.

These two sisters Kay and Nia are the main characters of this story. They lived with their grandparents after their parents both died.

The Two Worlds is a young adult fantasy novel about a teenage girl, Kay, who falls asleep in class and find herself on another planet. The author, Alisha Howard, builds a unique alternate universe peopled by interesting beings. The plot follows the adventures of Kay and her sister Nia as they fulfill the legend of the Akearman Stars and defeat the KaKonians.
Kay starts out as a normal girl and an average student, with no particular skills or talents. She ends up, with her newfound skill of Awakening, being one of the two most powerful beings on the world of Turgor.
I recommend this book for young adults, ages 14 - 17, who enjoy non-romantic fantasy and epic adventures.
