Water's War by Elise Kova

bookishholly's review against another edition

5.0

perhaps it is because i am still feeling the buzz after finishing this book but it really really enjoyed this, more so than the rest in the series.maybe it is because i like having my heart broken. this book doesn’t stop with the emotional gut punches. there is some really good character development and some incredibly sad moments.
where some of the other books in the series are lacking, i feel this one makes up for it greatly. i will be sad to finish this series.
vhalla is not always my favourite and she is lacking in comparison to other MC’s I adore. even so, her development has been significant and i think the author has progressed her growth well.

WARNING: You will shed many, many tears!

Ughh this book brought out all the emotion......I won't give away any spoilers, you'll just have to read it yourself, but have a few tissues handy.
This series just keeps getting better and better. Vhalla has really grown from that library girl to a total badass! I've said it before, but she has easily become one of my favorite heroine's. Book 4 doesn't disappoint and once again that ending will have you grabbing for the next one.

Water's WRATH indeed. I just finished the novel and am still processing it. The beginning was steady (though I was happy to see Vhalla kicking ass all by herself!), and I was wondering what would happen since a major threat was dealt with early on. But let it never be said that Kova doesn't have plans. The finale left me reeling, and there were some big twists I wasn't expecting. The dialogue was as gorgeous as always, the world built powerfully, and the action intense when it came to the fold. And that ending? WOW. What a punch, in more ways than one. The high note here was the characters, however. Just when you think you can't love Vhalla and Aldrik anymore, they develop exponentially. I have no idea what's going to happen in the next book. I only know that this was awesome, and I can't wait for more!

This might just be my favorite book of the series. I don’t want it to end but I will be happy to see Vhalla and Aldrik’s story come to an end…

But in order to fulfill my need for this world I will most likely immediately go on to binge read their daughters five book installment.

That was extremely gut wrenching and I did not appreciate being made to sob!
