Journey of Awakening and Higher Consciousness by Jane Kim Yu
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Journey Of Awakening And Higher Consciousness is a non-fiction book that looks deeply into the human psyche.
Written in a style similar to a bubbly stream of thoughts, author Jane Kim Yu writes fluidly about her own spiritual journey and offers words of advice to those seeking answers about their life purpose.
The author speaks to the reader in a very conversational tone similar to a theatre performance; it is an unusual form for a book. There are a range of sentence and paragraph lengths which match the authors collections of thoughts. However, it often felt like reading a whirlwind of words and I found it difficult to pick out the meaningful parts.
This is a book which can be read from cover to cover or dipped into as required.

Book description:
“True spirituality is a true coming alive, for it’s not what you do; it’s who you are. Which means living the life of your dreams on your terms and, most of all, in your heart as the you that you are. Love unleashed.”
Discover the journey of awakening in a new light never seen before. Read about our universal journey of discovery, of awakening to the greatest truth of the land, the truth that reverberates in our very hands, the hands of heart, the very heart of our being, that – you are love.
Through a profoundly rare experience that left the author’s mind silent for nearly half a year, it awakened her own desire to find her fire. The very fire that lit the night sky. The very fire that lives in all our hearts nigh. The very fire, to come alive.
Jane’s debut book Journey of Awakening and Higher Consciousness, is an offering of love that crystalizes her 3 eloquent writing, creative expression, and the exploration of our divine humanity. These combine into an unforgettable experience that will awaken your inner fire and bring passion and purpose back into your life.
The Warrior’s Forbidden Maiden by Lissa Morgan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Warrior’s Forbidden Maiden is a medieval romance set in Wales. This is book two of the Warriors Of Wales series.
Llywelyn is a second son, a gentle young man who wished to become a monk. However, seven years ago his older brother died in battle, then his father was lost too and Llywelyn was forced to become the new Lord and take up the fight against the Norman overlords.
During his childhood, Llywelyn’s best friend was Cristin, the daughter of the village headman. As time progressed their friendship grew into love until Llywelyn was forced into battle. Now he has returned to take ownership of the castle.
I enjoyed the setting for this story with the added pleasure of the spring season and its flowers. There are a few twists to the tale and a will-they-won’t-they romantic theme. Readers will predict the ending, but it is the journey that matters in this genre.
