    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent story; Vibrant Characters! (review as on Goodreads)
    Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    When I first ordered this book, I was a little wary. Many independent authors create excellent stories, but it can be a case of hit or miss. I had not read anything by Samantha Young, and the premise and reviews intrigued me.

    Suffice it to say, this book did not disappoint! Set in a mythological kingdom of Phaedra, this story and setting is reminiscent Kristin Cashore's The Graceling. In both cases, you have a unique mythology, a fantasy realm, and a heroine with a unique power and strong character. Despite the similarities, Young creates an entirely unique story with plenty of action and romance, and she subtly explores the deeper issues of the conflicts between free will and peace, and the balance required to govern and protect a people.

    In this story, Rogan must go on a quest to find a cure for the sleeping disease. Her dearest friend Hayden, the princezna of Phaedra, has fallen victim to the illness, and Rogan has a power that enables her to find the only cure. To rescue her friend, Rogan must travel through dangerous terrain accompanied by the royal guard and their captain, Wolfe Stovia, the man who's father killed Rogan's entire family before her very eyes when she was a child.

    What really made this story soar were the characters. Rogan is a strong heroine who loves deeply, who takes risks and fights for those she loves, and who has a brave and often reckless nature. She is also flawed, because, due to personal tragedy, she pushes away those who care about her and she often makes poor decisions. While there were many times I was aggravated with her choices or her inability to see Wolfe's affection for her, I would remind myself of her personal tragedies and would soon understand her position.

    Wolfe is an ideal love interest for my tastes. He is strong and confident, but affectionate and not arrogant. He loves Rogan despite her hostility and confusion, but he also holds his own in their many arguments. Their romance involves excellent banter and an outstanding chemistry.

    The side characters are also complex, from Hayden who is still learning to trust her own authority and ability to make decisions, to L, who lives a tough mountain life but can offer friendship and insight Rogan needs to overcome her past. The complexity of the characters also serves a greater purpose of opening Rogan's mind and allowing her to see many of the problems with the way their society is governed. In the course of her journey, she begins to question the way peace is preserved in Phaedra, and Samantha Young weaves in complex issues with subtlety.

    This story has plenty of action, fascinatingly real characters, and a unique setting. Despite the fact that it is marketed to young adults, the only young adult aspect of this book is a 19 year old heroine, and some scenes may not be appropriate for younger readers. Young does not sugarcoat the harsher aspects of the world she has created, and some scenes may be distressing to many readers. They are not pointless, however, and they add to the deeper themes explored throughout the story.

    To sum up, I truly enjoyed this book and felt that it was more than just a fun page turner, but a great adventure with complex and likeable characters and deeper themes beneath the surface.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A romantic, action-packed fantasy
    Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    The story of Slumber is really the story of Rogan - her physical quest to save her friend as well as her personal journey toward coming to terms with her past. Rogan is a survivor. Having suffered the tragic loss of her family eight years earlier, she still feels the weight of it every day. Though she now lives a very privileged life as "The Handmaiden of Phaedra" - trusted confidante and adviser of the Princezna - her personal demons have helped shape the way she views the world, people and relationships. To most who know her, she comes off as a bit thorny, abrasive and outspoken. She's very independent and doesn't care much to live within anyone's box. Yet, because we're told the story through the perspective of Rogan, the reader gets a ringside seat to her vulnerable, emotional side that she very rarely shows others. It helps to humanize her character; it makes her empathetic.

    In the absence of her family, Haydyn, the Princezna of Phaedra, is the dearest person in the world to Rogan - her best friend and sister in spirit, if not blood. When Haydyn falls victim to the mysterious Sleeping Disease that puts her in a coma-like state, Rogan cannot bear the thought of losing one of the only people she's allowed herself to truly care for since losing her family. Rogan's unique talents as a mage allow her to locate objects she's been commanded to find. And so Rogan requests that she be the one sent to find the cure to Haydyn's disease, the elusive Somna plant. Though she's not a warrior or a trained fighter, Rogan is tenacious, brave, scrappy, proud, with a strong will and a determined mind. All qualities which serve her well in the trials that await her on the road ahead.

    Speaking of trials, Rogan's most apparent and immediate trial presents itself in the form of the dashing, yet formidable, Vikomt Wolfe Stovia, Captain of the Guard and the son of the man responsible for the deaths of Rogan's family. Needless to say, there is bad blood between these two due to the murder of her family and the subsequent justice then sentenced upon Wolfe's father. When Wolfe volunteers to escort her on the mission to find Haydyn's cure, she's less than thrilled, certain he's biding his time for the right moment to avenge his father. But as they journey northward together, she wonders if she really knows the man she's been demonizing at all.

    The relationship between Rogan and Wolfe -- the obstacles, barriers, and animosity -- is just so well done. Young does a fantastic job of developing their relationship gradually, taking time to establish a back story for these two characters and then building the tension at a slow simmer. When you've got a book like this one where the two leads are traveling on a quest together, it can quickly fall victim to those old standby "romance on a journey" tropes. But I really appreciate that Young seems to think outside the box on this. There are so many instances that she could have capitalized on to further their relationship in a cliché way, and yet she doesn't. It makes their story oh-so-frustrating at times, yet I think by developing their relationship the way she does, makes it feel more authentic. The interaction between Rogan and Wolfe is just so wonderfully complex, snarky and tortured. At times I just wanted to shake both of them, all the while desperately hoping that these two crazy kids will just come to their senses. Though Slumber does have a strong, fast-paced plot and a well-crafted world, the relationship between these two is really what drives this story forward and makes it such a page-turner.

    The story of Slumber stems initially from the roots of the Sleeping Beauty fairytale, when Haydyn falls into a coma-like sleep - it's the catalyst for the rest of the story. And yet it's not Sleeping Beauty's story, it's Rogan's. The journey Rogan embarks on is full of danger, excitement, intrigue. There are many enlightening moments as Rogan is exposed to people and places she's only heard tell of. She learns many important lessons about life and herself as her assumptions and beliefs are measured against reality. It's not just a coming-of-age/romance novel though. This book is an action/adventure thrill ride that catapults you from one exciting event to the next with very little downtime for the characters or the reader. In addition to the non-stop action, the setting Young has created is a complex, well-realized, beautifully described fantasy world. She makes excellent use of her little fantasy land, giving the reader the grand tour over the course of the book. (Helpful tip - there's a map of Phaedra on the author's blog for those of you who like to visually track a character's geographic progress.)

    Overall, Slumber is an action-packed novel with wonderfully gritty characters, a vast and detailed fantasy world, and spine-tingling romance. Let's just say I will be adding more Samantha Young novels to my TBR, and I'm anxiously anticipating the second book in this series, Sneak Thievery.

    *** While classified as YA, Slumber does include some sexuality/sensuality that may not be suitable for younger YA readers. There's also a pretty intense scene where one of the female characters is severely brutalized. For parents, I'd definitely check this one out first before giving it to your teen.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Mein Favorit unter Samantha Young's Büchern
    Reviewed in Germany on May 19, 2012

    Dieses Buch ist im Moment mein absolutes Lieblingsbuch von Samantha Young. Die Frau hat es einfach drauf. Dieses Buch ist so ideenreich und anders, es hat mich einfach umgehauen.

    Samantha Young hat eine sehr interessante Welt geschaffen, die sich Phaedra nennt. Es gibt viele Magier und magische Orte und erinnert etwas ans Mittelalter, als noch Ritter und Könige existierten. Das hat schon mal einen sehr großen Pluspunkt eingebracht.

    Rogan ist ein sehr starke Charakter. Sie hat ein enormes Selbstbewusstsein und lässt sich nicht so leicht unterkriegen. Als ihre Prinzessin und beste Freundin in einen undendlichen langen Schlaf versetzt wird, macht sich Rogan auf die Suche nach dem Heilmittel. Da sie aber nicht allein gehen kann, muss Wolfe, der Kommandant, begleiten. Gegen den hegt sie jedoch keine wirklich positiven Gefühle, da sein Vater ihre ganze Familie umgebracht hat.

    Wolfe fand ich einfach nur großartig. Er ist stark, sensibel und liebevoll. Er ist auch etwas arrogant, was man ihm aber leicht verzeihen kann. Da ist es kein Wunder, dass sich Rogan langsam aber sicher in ihn verliebt, auch wenn sie sich mit allen Kräften dagegen sträubt.

    Die Liebesgeschichte ist einfach nur wunderschön und ich hätte mir gewünscht, dass sie einen noch größeren Teil des Buches eingenommen hätte. Ich liebte es, wenn die beiden sich zankten und musste wegen ihrem Sarkasmus oftmals auflachen. Die Beziehung war jedoch auch sehr liebevoll und entwickelte sich nicht zu schnell.

    Es gibt sehr viele Abenteuer, die die beiden zusammen, aber auch allein zu bewältigen haben und die nicht immer sehr gut enden.

    Slumber ist einfach Buch, das ich einfach nur jedem ans Herz legen kann.

    I really loved this book. It was fast paced throughout, full of adventure, excitement, magic, wit and a little romance thrown in - everything you would want and expect from what has been said to be based around the Sleeping Beauty story. I couldn't put it down.
    I really loved the main characters Rogan and Wolfe and think that they are the best so far from Samantha Young. I have now read all her books on my kindle and i really enjoy her writing. Slumber was different too the other Samantha Young books that i have read so i was unsure if the story was for me, but i must say that i am glad that i bought it. I finished very quickly and it left me wanting more!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Romantische YA-Fantasy mit märchenhaften Zügen
    Reviewed in Germany on June 4, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    Phaedra ist eine magiedurchdrungene Welt, die sich von der Welt der Menschen verabschiedet hat und durch einen magischen Zauber vor dem Übergreifen von Gewalt und Unrecht bewahrt wird. Dieser Zauber wird von der Tochter des Herrschers, Princezna Haydyn, aufrechterhalten. Mit dem Verschwinden der Magiere aus Phaedra wird es für Haydyn immer schwerer, auch die entferntesten Ecken des Reiches unter ihrem Einfluß zu halten. Als sie in einen tiefen Schlaf verfällt, ausgelöst durch die Schlafkrankheit, genannt Somna, droht der Friede des Reiches unterzugehen. Ihre Freundin und Gefährtin Rogan bricht zu einer Queste in die weit entfernten Berge von Avralin auf, um das einzige Heilmittel zu finden, die schon fast ausgestorbene Somna-Pflanze. Zu ihrem Widerwillen wird sie hierbei von der Königlichen Garde begleitet, die von Captain Wolfe angeführt wird, dem Sohn des Mannes, der einst ihre Familie ausgelöscht hatte...

    Von der ersten Seite an besticht die Story durch ihre märchenhaft-verzauberte Atmosphäre, die an "Dornröschen" erinnert - nur daß es hier nicht um die schlafende Prinzessin geht, sondern um deren treue Gefährtin, die ihr Leben aufs Spiel setzt, um ein seltenes Heilmittel zu finden. Dabei ist Rogan keine kämpferische Heldin, sondern eine magiebegabte Waise, deren Familie einer Intrige um Macht und Magie zum Opfer fiel. Trotz ihrer schlimmen Erfahrungen als Kind ist sie kein traumatisiertes Opfer, sondern eine willensstarke und manchmal sturköpfige junge Frau, der man besser nicht in die Quere kommt, wenn sie sich etwas in den Kopf gesetzt hat.

    Dies muß auch Captain Wolfe leidvoll erfahren, der den wenig dankbaren Auftrag bekommt, Rogan auf ihrer Suche zu beschützen. Daß diese davon alles andere als begeistert ist und ihn dies bei jeder passenden und unpassenden Gelegenheit spüren läßt und beide nur allzu oft in Schwierigkeiten bringt, die oft von hitzigen Wortgefechten begleitet sind, macht den Reiz der Story aus. Wie zu erwarten liegt darin natürlich auch der romantische Anteil des Buches, der sich in einem für junge Erwachsene gedachten Rahmen hält; wobei der hitzige Konflikt der Hauptcharaktere jede Altersgruppe bestens unterhalten dürfte.

    Rogans traumatische Erfahrungen, die nicht reißerisch ausgeschlachtet werden, sowie ihre Selbsterkenntnis über ihre Vorurteile und Fehldeutungen mancher Menschen und Situationen, sorgen dafür, daß die Geschichte nie oberflächlich wirkt und sie im Lauf der Geschichte, die aus der Ich-Perspektive erzählt wird, immer sympathischer wird.
    Wenn man bedenkt, wieviel man für manche YA-Bücher in Druckform hinlegen muß, kann man es kaum glauben, daß eine so gut erzählte, spannende und humorvolle Geschichte derzeit einfach kostenlos heruntergeladen werden kann.
    Daher an dieser Stelle ein Dankeschön an die Autorin, daß sie ihre Welt und ihre Ideen mit uns teilt.

    Wer gern romantische Fantasy mit einem Schuß Märchen liest, sollte sich dieses zauberhafte Abenteuer nicht entgehen lassen.
