Ancient Awakening, by Matthew Laube

The sub-title of this novel is "The Ancient:  Book One."  Two things are obvious from this.  First, that this is in the para-normal or fantasy space.  Second, that the book should end with enough dangling ends and surviving main characters to interest you in going to the next volume.

I found this book, as previously confessed, in a surge of 99 cent Kindle downloads.

As for the book:  pretty good.   It was interesting enough and the writing was good enough that I'm willing to read the next in the series.
