You know that moment when you let down your walls and allow yourself to fall in love with someone? That is the exact feeling I had near the end of Air Awakens by USA Today Best Selling author Elise Kova! I had never read one of her books before so my connection with Elise’s writing style and plot started off slow. I didn’t exactly know what I was feeling but something kept my eyes reading line after line and in an instant I was hopelessly in love with the story and characters.
Vhalla Yarl is a librarian’s apprentice and her character development is extraordinary! The story begins with a Solaris prince returning home from war almost in death’s clutches. Vhalla mistakenly thinks it is the youngest son, Prince Baldair, so she furiously reads and writes down notes and potential cures hoping to save his life. Her notes indeed save the prince’s life, but it turns out she saved the Crown Prince Aldrik’s life instead. Because of this Vhalla’s normal “commons” existence crumbles and she now has the Dark Prince’s attention along with the attention of sorcerers who live and study their elemental magic in The Tower. Vhalla has no business fraternizing with the future emperor of the Solaris Empire but it doesn’t stop her from sharing notes with the prince and spending more time with him in his mother’s rose garden. She begins a friendship with Aldrik—her moody, hot-tempered, gorgeously handsome prince—and later they both realize that when Vhalla saved his life it resulted in a magical soul-linking bond between them. Be prepared to sit on the edge of your seat as Vhalla awaits her trial against the Empire at the end of the book. Everyone seems to think she attempted to murder Prince Aldrik during an attack on the Empire during an annual celebration. You’ve got to read the book to watch how Vhalla’s fate unfolds before your eyes! This was an eventful, heart-wrenching introduction to a series I have no doubt will ruin me in the months to come! A brilliant five stars and the shining sun of Solaris to Elise Kova!! Check out Elise Kova's Instagram Page (@elise.kova) and give her a follow!
