Like I said in the beginning of the review, there are four different elements that characters can have Affinities for, and the main character Vhalla is the only one with hers: air. The book was right in front of me, laying in my Kindle for months now after seeing the hype all over Twitter, so I read it.

Who would say no to that kind of stuff? The chocolate coin is right in front of you, probably taken from some lame party that you went to last week, so you eat it. It’s missing the richness of any Cadbury or Godiva out there, but you still eat it because, hey!, it’s chocolate. It’s like, among all the chocolate candies out there, you choose to indulge in the cheap chocolate coins. It’s riddled with cliches and inconsistent characters, but somehow you end up kind of enjoying anyways. My eyes rolled so hard that they fell out of my head.Īir Awakens is one of those reads that you pick up when you’re extremely bored and have nothing better to do. OF COURSE the main love interest is the crown prince. OF COURSE the only guys she comes in contact with her age are all vying for her attention. (Get it? Because it’s so cold?) OF COURSE she’s the first Windwalker to have appeared in hundreds of years. Seriously, we got a heroine here that is such a special snowflake that my tears of frustration started freezing when reading about her. This book would’ve been more aptly named as Vhalla: The Last Windwalker. … Does that sound familiar to anyone? I’m sure most of us would pick up on the fact that it’s the opening sequence to Avatar: The Last Airbender. Then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. And with powerful forces lurking in the shadows, Vhalla’s indecision could cost her more than she ever imagined. 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. 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. 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. 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. A library apprentice, a sorcerer prince, and an unbreakable magic bond…
