3.0

i was not a huge fan of the direction the series took after book 3 and definitely prefer the Air Awakens series.

overall, i enjoyed the world this was set in and will be picking up [b:A Trial of Sorcerers|53697329|A Trial of Sorcerers (A Trial of Sorcerers, #1)|Elise Kova|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1596285124l/53697329._SY75_.jpg|84015218] when the series is complete.

the first 3 books were interesting and the plot had me hooked, however that just petered out after the third book. it was worth reading because i adored the bonus scene but i don't think this series should be read just for that. i feel like this book just didn't live up to my expectations after Air Awakens as a whole, both plot-wise and character-wise.

i don't know if i'm biased just because i prefer the predecessor series or what, but here are my ratings of the series overall:
books 1-3: 3.5 stars
book 4: 2 stars
book 5: 3 stars
