Publisher's summary

Caught in plots between two worlds, his only hope is to awaken the link between them.

Kyrus had lived a quiet life as a scribe until his dreams begin seeping into his waking life. Fanciful tales of magic and battle turn out to be real. In his sleep, he witnesses the adventures of his twin. Kyrus is swept up in the intrigues of those who already know of this connection between worlds.

As his knowledge of the two worlds grows, so does his entanglement in the intrigues between them. Kyrus discovers friends, lovers, and adversaries among the twinborn. His knowledge of magic grows until he becomes a valuable pawn for masterminds of plots that threaten empires.

Kyrus must learn a deadly game against opponents who already know the rules. He must join forces with his twin to combat threats in both worlds. One misstep or misplaced trust and Kyrus could find himself dying...twice.

Twinborn Chronicles: Awakening Collection is a three-book collection chronicling the adventures of heroes who alter two worlds. For fans of epic fantasy who aren’t looking to start another unfinished series, the Twinborn Chronicles provides multiple new worlds to explore and all the closure you’ve long been denied.

Better than Expected

I usually look for fantasy books by length more than any other criteria (the longer the better) and I won't even pretend to have hesitated at a value like this one. 67 hours for a single credit was perfect!

The story was a bit slow as it seeks to bring together more than half a dozen characters at a time; something which was frequently difficult to keep a rolling tally of; but I will admit that, to keep the review short and without revealing too much of the story, I was well pleased with my purchase by the end of the final part and went on to buy the next set of this series (books 4-7).

great fantasy series!

reminiscent of Wheel of Time , mistborn , et al. I can't wait to read the next series.

Love it!

Absolutely love it! A rich and diverse tale masterfully told!!!!!! Highly recommend to anyone wanting new worlds to dive into!

intriguing

really enjoyed the story and characters. I think reading it would be better than listening because it was easy to get lost at times. there mechanics of twin born are an excellent literary tool and enable twists and turns you could not do otherwise. there were many unpredictable parts and realistic characters.

I like the concept.

Definitely a different flavor. I really enjoyed the subterfuge between parallel universes. I look forward to more tales Within.This world.

Great Value good story

Great Characters loved them hated them routed for them. Nice Ending! It was nice to not have to wait for the next book to come out.

completely thrilling!

the narrators do a great job breathing life into this exciting tale! I can't wait to find more like this! So many twist and turns !

Great

Very good I recommend this to anyone looking for a fantastic listen. You just have to make it through the first couple of chapters.

Great World

My few dislikes of the story do not outweigh the great world and awesomeness of the story. Morin has spent much time fleshing out his characters in great detail and the worlds, the gods, and immortals that inhabit it with them in part. It is very slow going which is one of my dislikes. The action and character development is heavily mis proportioned towards the slow side of life making the book very lethargic at times. Other than that, the series is great and is moving in a positive direction in my view. I look forward to seeing what happens next.

swept away to another world

what can I say? this book is definitely the best that I've listened to in a year or more. I'm so glad I came across it. The story felt real with awesome details. I could imagine the beautiful scenery and characters. I'm a fan of multiple points of view. This is full of great layered characters. Hats off to the performance from the narrator. It was right on point. I felt totally engulfed in the story, and it was a good story. War, pirates, drama, romance and magic. It had everything I hope I find another one like this, but I'm pretty sure I won't
