Damaged but Powerful: The Rise of Anastasia Aaronson: The Realm of False Gods, Book 4 Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

Steve Higgs (Author), Ayla Stevenson (Narrator), Steven J Higgs (Publisher)
4.5 out of 5 stars 834 ratings

When she woke up in hospital, they said her military career was over. They were wrong though; it was just starting, only the Army she was in had changed.

Damage to her brain has unleashed incredible powers never seen in a human, but as she flexes her newfound magical muscle, it will draw the attention of creatures the Earth and humanity have forgotten. Now she must overcome not only her own terrible injuries, but also learn to control the power she can wield as a world of magical beings take a sudden interest.

There are secrets buried in the Earth’s past and she may provide the key to uncovering an ancient artifact, one that everyone in the magical world wants and that makes her a target.

None of them realize what she is though, and her hidden ancestry is going to shock both realms.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Confused
    Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    This book confused me. To begin, it IS a good read. But, it seems out of sequence for some reason; so much so, that I went back to amazon to make sure I had the right order of books in the series. It appears it is and, I couldn’t find any novellas that might have been before it. In the end, I just went with the flow and continued to read it. I still like the series and still hate the foreshadowing at the end of nearly every chapter. I’ll keep reading them!

    The beginning of the book spoke of her working with Daneil and being cornered by the 4 Horseman. Then went backwards to tell how she got there, yet the book never made it there. Good add to the series just maybe needed an opening to match the book.

    Is a great read, just one thing to note the end does not really answer the question posed in the beginning. There are plenty of battles with supernatural creatures, wizards and dodging the police, a few crazy characters complete with strong descriptions and dialogue.
