Arwin | Air Awakens: Vortex Chronicles Series

“You didn’t offend me.” Arwin looked over her shoulder with a fire in her eyes. “But you have presented me with a unique opportunity.”

WHY isn’t the Air Awakens series talked about?? The original series and the two spinoffs honestly deserve so much more attention.

“It’s okay.” Vi pressed her eyes closed, feeling the intricate embroidery that covered his chest sink into her skin as she tried to remove all space between them. Nothing was okay. Her world was changing faster than she could keep up. But his arms remained around her - firm and unmoving. Perhaps that was what he’d meant. They were okay. This one beautiful and unexpected thing she could rely on when everything else was gone - that was still okay.

TITLE: Vortex Visions AUTHOR: Elise Kova RELEASE DATE: February 4th, 2019 READ DATE: January 28th, 2019 PUBLISHING HOUSE: Silver Wing Press RATING: ★★★★★

ARC provided from the author in exchange for an honest review (thank you Elise Kova, queen of my life!!)

I’ve said it a thousand times and I’ll say it a thousand more—Air Awakens is the best thing that’s happened to the YA fantasy genre and the fact that it isn’t more popular is the bane of my entire existence. AND YOU CAN QUOTE ME ON THAT.

in a very Elise Kova-like fashion, Vortex Visions is equal amounts sappy, perfectly lighthearted and lovable trashy high fantasy, while also succeeding to build a phenomenal atmosphere and contribute to the gorgeous world building we’d been left off with from the previous series. and oh God—do I love every little detail about this world!!!! these books have brought me so much joy and I can’t imagine a world where I can’t immediately resort to an Elise Kova book in times of peril. the characters in this series are so, so magical and I SQUEALED every time someone from the previous series showed up/was mentioned. I also adored every new character we were introduced to in this book and I genuinely can’t wait to find out more about everybody—Romulin and Taavin especially. they’re both so mysterious in their own respective ways and AAAAHHHHHH I can’t wait to finally, FINALLY see everyone from the old series again in the next book!!! God this series literally owns my LIFE. such a perfect read, such a perfect book, such a perfect world.

in all honesty you guys, it really does hurt that Elise Kova doesn’t get the credit she overwhelmingly deserves as a writer. she’s pushing books out left and right like it’s nobody’s business and they’re always so bold and full of life and she writes from such a heartwarming standpoint gaaaaahhhh I just love her so much, she genuinely deserves the world and if all her previous books were not proof enough, this one definitely is!!!!

just as a little end note if you plan on picking this book up—even though Elise has said that this one can be read on its own and that you don’t need to read all 5 books of Air Awakens, I do believe Vortex Visions becomes that much richer if you DO read the previous books, as far as character context and world building go. I personally adore literally everything from the OG Air Awakens and would vouch for it WITH MY LIFE. READ THESE BOOKS. SUPPORT ELISE KOVA. THAT’S ALL.

Cover Reveal:  Vortex Visions by Elise Kova (Air Awakens: Vortex Chronicles 1)

Release date: Feb 4, 2019 Synopsis: A desperate princess, a magical traveler, and a watch that binds them together with the fate of a dying world. Vi Solaris is the heir to an Empire she’s barely seen. Her parents sacrificed a life with her to quell a rebellion and secure peace with a political alliance. Now, three years past when her wardship should’ve ended, Vi will do anything to be reunited with her family. The Empire is faltering beneath the burden of political infighting and a deadly plague. Yet, Vi can’t help but wonder if her inability to control her magic is the true reason her parents haven’t brought her home. Suspicion becomes reality when she unleashes powers she’s not supposed to have. Powers that might well cost her the throne. As Vi fights to get her magic under control, a mysterious stranger appears from across the world. He holds the keys to unlocking her full potential, but the knowledge has an unspeakable price — some truths, once seen, cannot be ignored. All eyes are on her and Vi must make the hardest choice of her life: Play by the rules and claim her throne. Or, break them and save the world.
