I really don't get what's so amazing about this book. The only character that I actually thought had depth was Mags. The love interest were actually not that great, I mean I can barely remember their names.

Lianne was likeable before her anger came. She was sweet and had a good heart, but when she changed or whatever I just found her annoying for some reason. And Kellan(?) was so totally using her, and I saw that within the first couple of pages of meeting him. I don't understand why everyone lo...more

“...magic is evil and led to our downfall. We should never practice it again or face the wrath of their army.”

“I fell asleep afraid.
I woke up with hatred in my heart.”

Sleepers is the first book in the Swarm Trilogy.
I liked this one more than I liked Anathema.

Lianne, Kellan, and Bryden are Dalagans who were adopted by Fithians.
Fithia is ruled by King Rotlar and Queen Magaretta, aka Mags.
Lianne is one of their servants. She is also Mags best friend. They spend a lot of time i...more

Sleepers begins slow and there’s quite a bit of internal monologue filling the pages. Lianne is a sweet girl living in ignorant bliss until her sixteenth birthday. And then she becomes angry and a bit of a player. She goes back and forth between the other two adoptees, not only not sure which one she likes, but unsure which one is telling her the truth. The actual truth won’t be revealed until the very last pages. Lianne is cocky and unlikable at times, but her situation is as compelling to watc...more

So you open the book, and what’s on page 1? An execution! What a way to grab attention. The book is well paced, so your attention is always kept front and center. The fantasy world is neat with a mystery surrounding the peoples and their histories that is kept alive until the final pages.

In addition to the mystery, we’re also provided with an age old favorite – the love triangle. Lianne is torn between the boy she’s always been best friends with, Bryden, and the boy she’s always had a crush on...more

From the moment I opened the book, until the end, I couldn’t put it down. There is action, romance, Twists and turns, and everything you want in a novel. The writing was very visual and gripping. I felt like I was experiencing it with the characters.

Plot: The plot was unique and set in a fantasy world where magic was reality, though it felt like the past. When I started reading it, I didn’t really know what the book was about. But you meet Lianne, who is an adoptee- a foreigner child raised by an adoptive family. A Dalagan in a land of Fithians. The Dalagans have magic, while the Fithians do not. You go with her as she falls in love, is betrayed, learns her history and the history of her people, and then is betrayed some more. You don’t even know who to trust, and things happen you cannot believe. I almost cried in certain spots. The plit was PERFECT. Always making you want to know more, and always satisfying you.

Characters: Each character had depth and felt real. Though, there were a few characters that I would have liked to know more about, like Aric. But for the most part, all your questions are answered. Even questions about characters you didn’t know to ask! You continued to learn more about each one as the book went on.

Romance: This was a very clean book. But you were able to see the romance blossom as Lianne learned more about her life long friends, Breydon and Kellan. As you keep learning more about each of the boys, you keep switching between who you want her to be with. There was also a romance between Mags, the young queen and another man (I wont spoil it though) which I wish I could have seen more of.

Action: this book had quite a lot of action. From Lianne learning to fight and sparring with Kellan, to learning about magic, to the climax.

Overall, I loved this book. I have nothing negative to say. I got this book free, and I wasn’t really expecting much, but I was so wrong. This is a great story, with great writing, characters and plot.

I found myself so exasperated by the poor storytelling in this book that I hardly read the last few chapters - only enough to understand how the book ended. The character development can't even be called "development", and all the story information is plainly and obviously served to the reader on a dull platter. The concept/plot is interesting, but it seems that the author focused so much on its progression and neglected both the characters and the beauty of subtlety and story-telling.

All her life she has been raised to believe that her homeland is magic less, defeated and weak, until her 16th birthday when a spell placed on Lianne as a baby ends and she discovers that much she has believed to be the truth is actually a lie.

I read this book in two days! It's amazing to me how different two books with similar themes can be. The last two books I've read - this one and the last one - have been about young women who were warriors and on a journey to return to their homes. Of course they both had love to deal with - should she love this one or that one? But this book, Sleepers, handled the story so much better. The action sped along with twists and turns everywhere.

This book is amazing. I love the intricate weave of culture, friendship, betrayal, love, and political intrigue. In some ways, I think that it's obvious that the book is intended for a YA audience, especially in that there isn't much violence or even tragedy. We're led to believe that King Rotlar is practically pure evil and drunk on his own power, but compared to many kings in the past there's nothing very special about him. There also isn't any sex. I'm pretty sure that the main character - Li...more

This is an e-book I got for free and read over vacation. It's a traditional fantasy with a strong tendency towards political intrigue. I liked the characters and the set up, but I felt the plot twists were inelegantly delivered. The reader was blindsided by information too often. I felt there was a bit of a "Game of Thrones" vibe to the story, so if that's your thing, you might like this story more than I did. I finished it, but I won't be reading the sequels.

Lianne is a servant to the queen, and her best friend. Upon her sixteenth birthday, Lianne experiences an Awakening, learning that she possesses the magic of her people, once thought lost. With magic also comes rage, and Lianne must struggle to control it, or be taken over. In addition to all this, she must choose between Kellan and Bryden, fellow adoptees. Each of whom want Lianne to fight, one with brute strength, the other with newfound magic.
Sleepers is a well-written, fast-paced read. I flew through this book in less than 24 hours. The characters were all fully developed. Lianne, was loyal, smart, and fierce. She was the ultimate warrior, with abilities so honed, she is virtually undefeatable. I love a strong girl who doesn’t need saving. Bryden was another great character. He was strong, yet quiet. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but in a way, he reminded me of Peeta from The Hunger Games. And Kellan, I can’t say a lot about Kellan without giving anything away. You’ll have to draw your own conclusions about him. In addition to the main characters, Jensen did a great job with the secondary characters. Each served a purpose in moving the plot forward. No character was disposable.
Towards the end of the book, certain events felt a little rushed to me. I felt a little bit of build-up would have helped me become more invested in the events happening. Another little problem I had with the ending was a character revelation that really ticked me off. I’m not sure if that was because I felt it was too much/unbelievable or that I was just upset because the revelation left the character with no redeeming qualities.
Having said that, I still really enjoyed Sleepers. The story is full of deceit, manipulation, huge surprises and high adventure. Sleepers is full of heartbreaking moments and stunning plot twists. Every time I thought the story was moving in a particular direction, Jensen virtually threw those plans right out the window. That always makes for an enjoyable read. (less)

Sleepers is sort of a paranormal book that feels like it could be set in a different time. The book takes place in a world with two warring groups of people. Lianne is a member of one group who was adopted by the other group along with two other members of her own group. She grows up knowing that she is different and she knows about the other group that she originally came from.

1) Character Development: It's abundantly clear from the very beginning that the main character, Lianne, is one tough chick. She's able to fight better than anyone she knows, although this is a secret she must keep quiet from everyone but her fellow Dalagans (a bit of background: her people are called Dalagans and they gifted Lianne to the Fithians to ensure peace).

She's able to fight better than anyone she knows, although this is a secret she must keep quiet from everyone but her fellow Dalagans (a bit of background: her people are called Dalagans and they gifted Lianne to the Fithians to ensure peace). I really liked how strong she was, but I felt like she was insanely naive at times, to the point that I was shaking my head; although, she was only 16, so we should probably take her young age into account and not judge her too harshly. She definitely became more self-assured and mature by the end of the book. Then we have the two guys in her life, Kellan and Bryden. Kellan is the more out-going of the two, confident to the point of being cocky, and the object of Lianne's affection. I wasn't sure how I felt about him in the beginning, but by the end you will certainly have a very strong opinion regarding his character. Bryden was quiet, reserved, and obviously harboring some secrets. He also used to be best friends with Lianne until the accident when they were young that changed his life. I liked Bryden right away; I can't really tell you why exactly, but he just seemed more trustworthy and genuine than Kellan. Another character that deserves mentioning is the Queen, or "Mags" as Lianne calls her. Her and Lianne became best friends, despite the odds, even though they would most likely both be punished if the king found out. Mags was as much a prisoner as Lianne, for although she seemed to live in the lap of luxury, she was confined to the walls of the castle and lived only to serve her husband, King Rotlar. In fact, I felt worse for Mags than I did for Lianne, because she had no one else to confide in about anything; Lianne at least had Kellan and, eventually, Bryden to talk to about things going on in her life. Overall, we see some big changes in most of the characters; some good, some bad, but all really interesting to read about.

2) The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly: First, The Good - I enjoyed the characters a lot and the storyline was pretty refreshing. I also think the writing style flowed nicely and kept me interested in reading. The Bad - I felt like the first half of the book was absolutely phenomenal, and then it kind of lost it's steam in my eyes, despite the fact that most of the action happens in the second half. I just couldn't get into the last part of the book as easily or as readily as I did the beginning. The Ugly - I felt like there were too many convenient plot twists, especially towards the end. I don't want to give away any major details about the story, so I won't elaborate, but maybe when you read it you will understand where I'm coming from. It's at least part of the reason the second half of the book lost it's appeal to me.

3) Romance Sizzle Or Fizzle?: I can't really go into much detail here either, for fear of giving away too much! I won't tell you if she ends up with Kellan or Bryden, but I will say I found the romance to sizzle, because I feel that Lianne and the guy she chooses have great chemistry and seem to belong together. Now you just have to read this book for yourself to find out who the lucky guy is!

4) Uniqueness Of Plot: I thought the plot was unique. The book had a medieval feel to it, with kingdoms, castles, and the like, but it also had magic, intrigue, and mystery; a very good combination if you ask me.

5) Final Thoughts: Overall, not a bad read! The first half for me was 5 stars, the second half I would rate as a 3 (maybe 3.5, but I don't really deal in 1/2 stars), so I'm going to even it out to 4 stars. Even though it fizzled a bit for me in the end, I still enjoyed reading it and am wondering what will happen next with these characters. If you enjoy a book with magic, plot twists, and a good love triangle, then you should definitely check this one out!

Lianne is one of three teenagers who were adopted from the losers of war years ago. The Dalagans are redhaired while the Fithians are all round and dark haired.

Lianne is a maid to the queen whom is her secret best friend. Their king is the Henry VIII sort who presides over executions and has his wives executed.
On her sixteen birthday, she discovers a hidden power from her homeland. The Fithians claimed that Bryden, Lianne and Kellan were supposed to learn the Fithian way and bring it back to their poverty stricken land. She doesn't question the propaganda but swallows the lies she's been told.

Lianne is not an exceptionally strong character. She swallows the lies during her childhood and was clearly being used by her boyfriend, Kellan. He wants her to kill the king, and she flitters back and forth between him, Bryden and the Queen Mags decisions.
She never had a mind of her own. She wasn't a loyal friend to Mags or to Bryden. She stood aside while Kellan tortured the crippled Bryden. (view spoiler)

This story might have worked if the novel had started during her childhood, not when she turned sixteen. She admits to Kellan's cruel abuses to their friend Byrden after their romance was established. She has a serious character flaw even if Bryden did turn his back on her.

The story got worse after she meets the Dalagans. (view spoiler)(less)

I find it hard to connect to Lianne’s character. I don’t know why but she’s a bit unstable and indecisive for me. Maybe it’s because of the Awakening spell or maybe because she’s so blinded by her love for Kellan that she can’t figure out the truth from the lies. Whatever that may be, it surely distracted me from enjoying the story.

This is the first of the Swarming Trilogy that follows Lianne as she discovers her true destiny. Nearly sixteen year ago, she and two boys where sent by her people, the Fithians, to be raised by their conquerors, the Dalagans, as part of a greater plan. She has grown up as the handmaiden to the queen and has become close friends with Mags, the queen, and adores her youngest son. She’s content with her life despite everyone knowing she is a Fithian because of her appearance that distinguishes her from the Dalagans. There is one thorn in her side—her adopted sister who hates and tries to ruin her because of her close association with the queen.

The morning of her sixteenth birthday arrives and she discovers that she has changed and that a secret she been kept from is revealed to her by her boyfriend Kellan, older from her by a matter of days. She is horrified as he reveals how he learnt about it because she discovers he is the reason for the hanging of three of her people a matter of days ago. She is filled with worry and anger against the Dalagans now as well as Kellan who she starta to realize has his own agenda. She turns to the other adoptee, Baylyan, who was her first boyfriend until his accident that left him a cripple and awakened his changes years before his time. A spell has kept her hidden and unable to use her magic until the time is right while Baylyan’s accident revealed his prematurely.

The King makes a decree that has the queen and Lianne scrambling as her past and current life collides and she unearths the truth about two the boys she is interested in. She forms her own plan to save the people she loves and discovers her changes reveals something about her people that she thought was gone forever.

This is the first book I have read by this author and it won’t be the last since I’m reviewing all of the Swarm Trilogy for this tour. The premise of this series is interesting and they all intertwined so I recommend reading them in order. It a jam-packed little novel (only 100 +pages) that introduces us to Lianne but leaves a mystery around her that we will unravel over the next two books. This book is great example of indie YA fantasy.(less)
