Prophecies Awakening is the first installment of a new fantasy series that combine the classic archetypes to the newer and currently more popular ones. 
 On a distant past, the land of Marithia fought to overcome Shindar, an evil demon and ruler of the Underworld. Centuries have passed, but the people still fear for their safety. Greenhaven is the centre of the kingdom, offering a sense of security against rogue vampires and shadow demons who still roam the land. When Greenhaven's king is murdered by his own son and the paths leading to the fulfilment of a dark prophecy are open, the queen and her daughter flee to the safety of the elven woods. Meanwhile, Vartan, a banished knight of Greenhaven, unveils the truth about his origins and faces the heartbreak his destiny shall bring. It is inevitable, though. The whole existence of Marithia depends upon it. 
 Koevari is successful in coming up with an intriguing plot, with original features and ideas, a hero to fall easily for and a love story to break the hearts of the ladies. There is a hint of science fiction and the plot somehow branches out into lots of possibilities and potential heroes. 
 For a first volume in a series, there is very little description of Marithia, both in terms of physical features and history, not allowing the reader to form a vivid image of the place in their imagination. The scenes usually alternate as though the book is actually a film, without much attention to details and highly vague on occasion. The development was also found lacking, be it plot or characters. Some situations are quite sudden and, again, the absence of background information impairs the reader's impression of the book as a whole. 
 All in all, Koevari is someone fans of science fantasy should keep an eye on, but fans of the more classic fantasy subgenres may cringe at some more daring passages.
