Which is good for understanding, but not so great for my enjoyment. The narrator’s voice was lovely, but I think she was giving a lot of care to pronunciation of each individual word. I even sped up the reading, which helped a little bit. I liked the story and couldn’t find much fault there (although I suspected who the betrayer was in book 1!), but I wasn’t looking forward to listening to the audiobook as much as I usually do. I finally finished it! And I think I know why it took so long. I received an audio copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. Vi’s journey continues with even more betrayal, romance, magic, and a twist you never saw coming that leaves readers begging for the next book.

But she doesn’t yet know if she’s running toward salvation… or a brutal end to everything she loves. And, perhaps most dangerous, is the scheming Lord of the Faithful who sees her as an opportunity to further consolidate his power. The Twilight King wants to use her to settle an old score. The pirate queen Adela wants to sell her to the evil elfin’ra.

But Vi’s fight for survival is only just beginning.Īs a princess in a foreign land, everyone is after her. Having forsaken her crown for a chance to save her family, and the world, Vi Solaris washes up on the shores of Meru. When worlds collide, and things are rarely what they seem, there may be no one Vi can trust. I’m actually looking forward to going back and reading that series once I finish this one as I hadn’t gotten past the first book! Summary: It is technically a sequel series to Air Awakens, but you don’t need to have read it first. The side characters that Elise crafts are great, and I love them almost more than the main characters! Please check out this series if you love well crafted adventures peppered with romance and betrayal as well as familial bonds. I am looking forward to seeing where the author takes the story and may wait until my copy of book five arrives so I can read those two back to back. Warning: you will want to have book four on hand when you finish this one as the ending makes some giant changes to the assumptions you may have been building.

I was definitely speed reading, so I may have missed a few things hidden in the descriptions, but I enjoyed the dialogue. But I’m happy to report that once I found my reading mojo, I was able to devour this book in three days while playing Animal Crossing! The story was quite compelling and the pacing was rather good. The original plan was to have this read and reviewed by March 31, 2020, but then the pandemic happened and I was unable to focus on reading. I received an ebook from the author but have also purchased a signed copy for my collection, so my opinions are my own.
