5 earth
shattering stars!
Magic,
castles, and feisty interactions with moody princes. All my absolute favorites.
Vhalla
Yarl’s story is compelling; a servant-level palace Library Apprentice with a
strong mind and a passion for learning.
Her loyalty to her friends is unquestionable and moving. The fierce friendships and bonds that form
throughout the series is realistic and thoroughly enjoyable, and Vhalla’s interactions
with the supporting characters and both the Crown Prince and the Golden Prince
is what keeps the story moving at an amazing pace.
The
‘Air Awakens’ series is a joy to read, beautifully written with well-developed
characters and vivid descriptions of elemental magic and the various rooms within the castle and of
the scenery and temporary camps along Vhalla’s journey.
Author
Elise Kova made the excellent choice to have Vhalla narrate in the
first-person, as readers are privy to her private thoughts, memories, and
reactions. As the story is centered
around Vhalla, these are important insights.
I
devoured ‘Air Awakens,’ ‘Fire Falling,’ ‘Tales from the Front’ (novella) and
‘Earth’s End’ within one week, begrudgingly taking breaks only when ‘real life’
insisted. Cannot wait to find out what
happens next in ‘Water’s Wrath,’ releasing on April 26, 2016.
