Vi makes a move to save her father in this sequel to Vortex Visions.

I loved the Air Awakens series. It started out slow for me, but once the plot picked up, I was 100% into it. This series…not so much. I find myself bored by the plot and frustrated by the characters. Vi and Taavin do not have the same charm as Vhalla and Aldrick. Vi and Taavin bore me. Vi, in particular, strikes me as a generic protagonist. Not much seperates her from the other “save the world” ladies in young adult literature. Taavin might be more interesting, but we still do no know much about him (even by the end of this novel). While the stakes are supposedly higher in this series, I find myself disconnected from it. Perhaps the problem lies with the bland side characters and slow pacing.

At the end of the day, I can see why other readers enjoy this extension into the Air Awakens world. Unfortunately, I’m just not one of them. I’m out.

tl;dr I feel disconnected from the characters and plot, which leave me not wanting to continue the series.

Wow, how do you put into words how you feel about a series that just keep exploding and surprising you. You attempt to articulate a review that makes sense without giving away the whole story, ok ready here goes.

This is the second book in the Air Awakens spin-off Vortex Visions that follows the adventures of the daughter of Valla. Now for me, you really should read Air Awakens first but it not necessary you just get more invested in these characters if you do. So if you want more inclusion go pick those up and come back.

Their not a lot of world building included in this book two so the story is more driven by the characters. Wow, have these characters got grit I was completely blown away by the amount of grit by the time I got done. What I thought I knew what not what was true so try and guard your heart cause your in for some turmoil.

We meet Via brother Romulan but we don’t see him a lot. The real meat of the story focuses on Vi and her quest and her odd relationship of sorts with the mysterious Taavin. Vi is to return home to be crowned queen, the land is ravaged by a white disease and her father is presumed dead. Though she was pretty sure that not the case so as to result she runs off hell-bent on bringing him and a cure home.

All hell breaks loose in the last few chapters and that where the real excitement happens to the point where I was flying through the pages not quite comprehending how everything unravels and an unexpected savior arrives on the stage at the very end.

You are in for a treat Elise has created a well thought out devious plot that will keep you guessing and shocked every step of the way. Ready for more story lets do this.
