Air Awakens by Elise Kova

4.25

May 2024 reread:
Bumping this up to 4.25 stars. Maybe it’s because I’m reading through the lense of nostalgia but definitely having an even better time with the series this second time through

I really enjoyed this book, and I’m looking forward to continuing the series! There was some wonderful world building, that for the most part I was able to understand - though I was a little confused by some of the dynamics between normal people and sorcerers. Vhalla was also an interesting character. She surprised me throughout the book with some of her thoughts and choices and I was pleasantly happy to see it! I wish there had been a bit more about her relationship with Prince Aldrik - I felt something missing from their chemistry though it did improve as the book progressed. Some of the pacing was slower but the ending was exciting and interesting. I’m ready to see what will happen next!
