Sorceress Awakening A Gargoyle and Sorceress Tale Book 1 eBook Lisa Blackwood

A much slicker version than the prequel. However, seeing as the subject matter in the prequel is repeated in this "first" in series, the question obviously arise why have a prequel at all then.
A very innocent Lillian in the beginning of Sorceress Awakening soon turns into a wanton Lillian the further the story progresses. At times the mature content of sexual nature and some dark influences made me wonder whether Lillian should not have been called Lilith instead.
Nevertheless the mature content proves to be essential to the development in the plot. Despite that, some of these scenes stretches the believability factor somewhat.
I also had some credibility problems with the "vampires" and the "demon child".
However, overall the story flows well and I have no doubt the majority of readers will probably enjoy this.

Sorceress Awakening A Gargoyle and Sorceress Tale Book 1 eBook Lisa Blackwood Reviews

I got 71% through this book and had to stop. I'm a fast reader. An average book takes me about 5 hours to read. I'd already invested double that on this book and still had 3 hours to go. I couldn't do it. The book is PAINFULLY slow. Just when you get a sense of the character, they change. The book has every form of fantastical being in it. It's like the author couldn't figure out what type of story to write. Half the time i was confused about what era it was, who was talking, and i still don't know the 'world'. It'll get better for a bit, so you think things have settled and then they change again. Frustrated that i put so much effort in to this book.
I've just run out of love on this one I guess. I just finished reading three of this author's books in a row and I have to say I'm simply not impressed. I like the books well enough but nothing stands out as special or makes me really want more.

I like the world here. I guess it's "portal fiction". There are three realms the mortal realm, magic realm, and spirit realm. The book takes place almost entirely in the mortal realm but the others are mentioned often. The major powers are interesting and complex enough that there is room for many great stories. It's a good world that the author has created.

But the problem is in the characters. They just stumble from one crisis to the next until at the end they stumble blindly onto a solution.

Also the writing style bothers me. The author can't seem to decide whether to write sensual erotica or straight fantasy. Most of it is just normal fantasy, but when the occasional intimate scene comes up (and they do, more often than is standard) the descriptions are exceptionally detailed and worded erotically. But then before the scene gets anywhere it gets interrupted by something else and we're back to regular fantasy again. If you're looking for erotica it will be frustrating, and if you're looking for just fiction it's a bit uncomfortable. Maybe there's a subset of readers who actually find that desirable, but it isn't me, that much I know.

Overall the book was okay - just okay. The other two of hers I read for free but this one I paid for, and I don't regret that, though I won't be doing that again.
I was going through my , trying to decide what my next read would be, and found this novel tucked in amidst my expected books. I do not remember where I had heard of this book or the author, but buying this e-book wa definitely one of my better choices.

Dryads & gargoyles & demons, oh my! And werewolves & vampires & unicorns and ... Suffice it to say that any mythical, magical creatures you have read about are involved in a war waging throughout the three realms; Spirit, Magic and Mortal. Lillian has always had a special place in her heart for the gargoyle statue in her backyard, next to her favorite tree. When she is attacked by monsters out of a nightmare, her gargoyle comes to life to protect her. Lillian's
life will never be the same. She not only is a dryad, a woodland spirit, but she is also the Sorceress, the avatar of the Divine Ones, the male and female gods above all others. Now Lillian and her gargoyle Protector, Gregory, are in a battle to save all three realms from being destroyed by the Lady of Battles.

This novel was a lot longer than the page count would lead the reader to believe. Lisa Blackwood has created an entire world, in which the impossible becomes normal, and she ensnares the reader in a well-crafted and smartly-written story. The storyline is easy to follow, and the pace of action is sure to keep the reader flipping pages at a frantic rate. The ending to this superb definitely ensures the reader will be getting the next book in the series.

My Rating 4.5/5 stars
A lonely girl who is not quite comfortable in her skin, is strongly bound to a gargoyle statue in her maze garden. Little does she know that she has been partnered with this hunk for the ages. She is a dryad, and gargoyles are the male of the species. Alas, fate will not allow her a mating with this one, for they are Avatars of the male and female aspects of the higher god. All of this is revealed, bit by bit as the story is spun. There are, of course, dark forces that have plans for the pair. The book flows well, and as you learn the rules of the dance, it goes faster and faster, coming to an unsuspecting (and unfulfilled) ending that is a pause in the action until the next book. You should enjoy it, I did.
