Failed Future
by Elise Kova
Series 1: Air Awakens - Five Stars!
Characters and their relationships were engaging, the action had me so invested action and adventure led by Vhalla and Aldrik who were so layered in their personalities.
Series 2: Vortex Chronicles - Three Stars.
The magic system with its Light Spinning and its less developed elemental magic was great, the deep dive into fate and altering timelines was interesting but it fell flat as a series as we really only had two main characters, Taarvin and Vi which left me not so invested.
Book 1: I loved getting to know Vi and see where she fit within her royal family of blood and her other royal family of choice. Seeing where she fit into the new story and watching her learn and grow was fantastic.
Book 2 & 3: Taarvin was a painful character to read, so rigid and uninteresting. It made his connection to Vi feel insincere, and I had trouble believing that they were so in love. I enjoyed watching Vi’s character development as she became stronger, braver and more capable. The action felt quite forced and I found myself drifting out of the story, not really invested.
Book 4: This was my favourite instalment in the series as I read the book in one day. Following Vi as she really started to take action to change a broken timeline and fix the world already lost. I loved watching her develop some connections and some real friendships. It was wonderful to start connecting the history of the Air Awakens series and see the events from a different perspective.
Book 5: The final adventure. By this book Vi is an absolute powerhouse and it was very hard to believe that the whinging and annoying Taarvin was her true love. He simply held her back from her knowing and her path. I love watching her role as the traveller in the events from the Air Awakens series and craved more details in the writing of these aspects. They seemed glossed over. The ending was not what I expected but still completely satisfying!
