Cvareh returns home to his sky world of Nova with the genius crafter Arianna as his temperamental guest. The mercurial inventor possesses all the Xin family needs to turn the tides of a centuries-old power struggle, but the secrets she harbors must be earned with trust — hard to come by for Ari, especially when it comes to Dragons. On Nova, Ari finds herself closer to exacting vengeance against the traitor who killed everything — and everyone – she once loved. But before Ari can complete her campaign of revenge, the Crimson Court exposes her shadowed past and reveals something even more dangerous sparking between her and Cvareh.

While Nova is embroiled in blood sport and political games, the rebels on Loom prepare for an all-out assault on their Dragon oppressors. Florence unexpectedly finds herself at the forefront of change, as her unique blend of skills — and quick-shooting accuracy — makes her a force to be reckoned with. For the future of her world, she vows vengeance against the Dragons.

Before the rebellion can rise, though, the Guilds must fall.

Air Awakens by Elise Kova [REVIEW]




TITLE: Air Awakens (Air Awakens #1)
AUTHOR: Elise Kova
PUBLISHER: Silver Wing Press
PUB DATE: Aug 27 2015

A library apprentice, a sorcerer prince, and an unbreakable magic bond...

The Solaris Empire is one conquest away from uniting the continent, and the rare elemental magic sleeping in seventeen-year-old library apprentice Vhalla Yarl could shift the tides of war.

Vhalla has always been taught to fear the Tower of Sorcerers, a mysterious magic society, and has been happy in her quiet world of books. But after she unknowingly saves the life of one of the most powerful sorcerers of them all—the Crown Prince Aldrik—she finds herself enticed into his world. Now she must decide her future: Embrace her sorcery and leave the life she’s known, or eradicate her magic and remain as she’s always been. And with powerful forces lurking in the shadows, Vhalla’s indecision could cost her more than she ever imagined.

“I am going to go into this world, and I don't care if you and your narrow mind cannot be a part of it.”

At the beginning of reading Air Awakens, I couldn’t help comparing it with The Last Airbender. You know, the cartoon? I haven’t watched every episode of it but enough of it to see the similarity of magic and lore. Although, I have to say while Airbender is a story that focuses on a war between elements against a corrupted army of Firebenders, and the developing friendships of characters with different elemental magic, upon reading Air Awakens, while also has the indications of war, was mainly focused on developing the bond between the protagonists. A love story, if I may say so.

I didn’t particularly like Aldrik at first. I mean, come on, the guy was an arrogant asshole to begin with. But I thought to give him a chance since I’ve read other books depicting snobby guys with layers of something more underneath. Thankfully, he didn’t fail to deliver. I didn’t love him in the end, but he’s tolerable enough and I want to see how far he can go to prove himself to Vhalla.
