i have this habit of saying "i'm so sad this series is over so soon!" as if i didn't binge them all in two days.
well the air awakens series (or as i affectionately called it, the "three star series" for its painful mediocrity which i can no longer do since i gave this book four stars) ended with an epic conclusion for the ages. it took what i loved from the previous books and got rid of *most* of the issues i had with it. gaby is happy.
a series always impresses me when the characters have developed so considerably to a point where they are unrecognizable to their former selves. vhalla was this shy library girl and now she is a determined strong empress. seeing her character development was one of my favourite things about this series. all the characters, including the ones we lost along the way have nestled their way into my heart. aldrik, jax, baldair, fritz, larel, daniel, the whole gang. they have developed, they have grown, and the question of if their well-being is being compromised has lead to a few very close to crying moments. this series is full of twists and though the books generally start pretty slow, by the time you're halfway shit begins to hit the fan. (lots of emotions beware.)
the one thing i particularly disliked was how they dealt with the. the experience was treated more as a blessing in disguise, and "it's a nightmare we'll forget about". the way it was handled really bothered me, especially since something that has affected many people i know and love. it's not something you just forget about, and it should also not be used as an easy solution to a problem you've introduced to your book.
overall as negative as my reviews have been, i do genuinely enjoy this series and the emotional twists and loveable characters will stick by me. if the series have peaked your interest (or you wanna know what these books are about because you've been seeing me spam your feed with this series the past few days) i would definitely recommend you pick them up!
