Vortex Chronicles: The Complete Series by Elise Kova
5.0
'"It's nothing." Besides being trapped in the dark prison of my thoughts.'
Wow, where to start?! I guess first things first, boy am I glad that I'm late to the party with this series, world and author! Having the complete series to read meant I avoided the dreaded book hangover and any wait for the next installment.
I do love a long series, and this one does not disappoint! The world-building was simply stellar, with unexpected yet brilliant twists, exceptional character growth that doesn't simply erase flaws but instead helps shape some seriously badass women! What more could you want?!
What about a romance that literally stands the test of time and lasts a lifetime (or 93?!)? Check.
A heroine whose sense of duty and loyalty for those she loves giving her the passion and recklessness needed to alter fate? Check.
A bucket-load of secondary characters who aren't there to simply 'fluff' out the storyline but who are so well refined that they deserve their own books? Check.
And finally, a sense of urgency that builds the suspense for the final showdown? Check.
I think it's safe to say that this series has made me an Elise Kova fan! It really doesn't matter that chronologically this isn't the series to start with, if anything it actually made me want to read the previous books more to fully appreciate the bigger picture in all its masterful intricacy!
