I am not big into fantasies. I am very big into classical books that use the story to teach a powerful message like "Little Women," "Return of the Native," "Pride and Prejudice," etc.(I also like a little bit of romance in books) I was pleasantly surprised by this book. While presenting an exciting and thrilling story, it also took the time to stand for some important morals. Although Traven is young and discovering who he is, he is conscientious and makes good choices. He sets a good example for young and old readers, making him someone that readers can respect. I was also pleased that there was some good clean romance in this novel. Not too much but just enough to keep the female romantics interested...just the what I like. There were parts that kept me on my toes and breathing heavy. Other parts were a little slower but enjoyable. I am not big into action and fighting scenes but the parts in it were necessary to keep the story going so that wasn't so bad. Overall I thought it was a good novel and I am glad that I read it. Looking forward to the sequel! ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Satisfying Story, Weak Writing *by M***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 29, 2012* This book is not unenjoyable. And I'd really like to stress that. If you're looking for a quick, fun read, this book delivers. There are, however, a few major flaws you have to be willing to accept.First, the writing style is not very developed, with narration and dialogue both consistently wooden. If this is a problem at all, this book is not for you.Beyond the flavor of the words themselves, usage of characters and plot lines is very uneven. At least twice, we are introduced to sizable supporting casts which are then dropped from the story without ever serving any purpose, and for one of those, a central strand of the story just stops, never to be seen again.**Spoilers from here down.**This part is just to give details on my second point above.We spend two, maybe three, chapters setting up characters in a merchant caravan, especially the leader Meritza. Then they all die, mostly offstage, and are completely forgotten. We don't spend long enough with the caravan to really care about the characters, but we do spend longer than necessary for a group that's just going to be killed off with no emotional impact, again especially on Meritza. There is an entire chapter of the book dedicated to setting up her character, then she dies offstage twenty pages later. During that same period, there's half a chapter about Traven getting a good deal on a quality sword, which he then loses during his first fight before he ever even learns how to use it. During the fight where the merchant caravan is wiped out, there is much to do made of Traven spotting the bandits further out than even the best sighted guard could hope to, but it never matters because the entire group is killed anyway. This entire sequence could have been replaced with Traven directly leaving Kavar with Blaize and nothing would be lost, except that Traven would have to find the might stone sword somewhere else, perhaps in the cave at the end of the book, since none of its properties actually matter until the beginning of the second book.The next part with Traven and Blaize on the road alone is the best part of the book, but then we go the merchant academy for more wasted time. Up to their arrival in Calyn, the entire book is focused on Traven attending the merchant academy. When he actually gets there, he has lunch, fights with a bully, fights with the bully again, and is expelled. In between, it is stipulated that he did well in his classes and seemed to make a good friend. But none of this matters because throughout the entire trilogy, there is never anything that depends on skills he learned at the merchant academy, and we never see or hear from the friend again. The entire purpose of the merchant academy is for Traven to be worried about one of the students recognizing him so that he cuts through the room with Kalista. This could have been accomplished in identical fashion with some unfriendly officer had he just directly joined the army.Replacing these two detours with the suggested or similar changes would probably give the book a fourth star. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Worth It, But Only if You Don't have to Pay too Much *by D***G on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 19, 2012* Let me start this review by saying that I am giving this book four stars when I really believe it deserves three and a half stars not simply because Amazon won't simply let me rate it that way, but because of the price, just 99 cents at the time of this review. While this isn't the best book I've read from Kindle Direct Publishing, it also isn't certainly the worse. Christensen has created an interesting world and while it rest a little too heavily on fantasy convention for me, mostly in regards to character development, the story is all his own and while it is easy to pick out where a character fits in regards to Joseph Campbell's The Hero With a Thousand Faces/Star Wars that doesn't make us care about the characters any less. It does however lead to so much foreshadowing that this book can seem a little predicable.That being said however it is a steal at 99 cents so I recommend you give it a try, especially if you are a major fan of high fantasy and Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time because it shares a great deal of tone with that style. I know personally that I will be giving book 2 a try. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/45117957-wielders-awakening-wielder-trilogy-book-one](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/45117957-wielders-awakening-wielder-trilogy-book-one) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
