Project Awakening

Project Awakening #1-3

by Sarah Connell

On a small island far from civilization sits Wattsworth, the ancestral home of a reclusive Inventor family. The secrets hidden within its passageways have long been forgotten, but on the eve of the year 3000, Helena Wattson - middle child and black sheep of the family - will discover far more than anyone thought possible.

Society is still recovering from the Digital Wars. Families are grouped by trade and few can break out of that mold to become anything else. Helena knows this all too well. If she is to succeed in cracking the code hidden within Wattsworth, she must break through the centuries of tradition protecting Project Awakening.

My husband got this book for me from an independent bookshop called Park Road Books in Charlotte, NC. We were drawn to to this specific title because it was written by a local author. Having no other reviews to go by, I was excited to have a reading journey that wasn’t influenced by social media opinions. I felt like this book was similar to titles like Scythe and Divergent. We are in a dystopian like world separated by clans specified by their talent. Helena, our heroine, is struggling with fitting in with her family, the strangers she meets, and with what her heart tells her is right. I liked this read overall. I think the characters were interesting, the world building was easy to follow, and it was a unique read. My only issue was the ending. I couldn’t tell if I liked it or not. We are left with a cliff hanger that could potentially be really interesting. If you are a fan of science fiction and dystopian reads, you may want to give this book a read and we can chat about this interesting world Sarah Connell has given us in her book “Project Awakening”.
