Let the Sky Fall by Shannon Messenger

Let the Sky Fall (Sky Fall, #1)

by Shannon Messenger

Vane Weston should have died in the category-five tornado that killed his parents. Instead, he woke up in a pile of rubble with no memories of his past—except one: a beautiful, dark-haired girl standing in the winds. She's swept through his dreams ever since, and he clings to the hope that she's real.

Audra is real, but she isn't human. She's a sylph, an air elemental who can walk on the wind, translate its alluring songs, even twist it into a weapon. She's also a guardian—Vane's guardian—and has sworn an oath to protect him at all costs.

When a hasty mistake reveals their location to the enemy who murdered both their families, Audra has just days to help Vane unlock his memories. And as the storm winds gather, Audra and Vane start to realize that the greatest danger might not be the warriors coming to destroy them, but the forbidden romance between them.

I loved the idea of people being able to harness the power of the wind. And the premise and cover look good (what can I say? I'm a cover whore), but I must say, I was disappointed.

Oh no, don't worry, it was good enough, but I really expected more.

One of the things that bugged me the most was the fact that there isn't much explanation as to how syplhs survive without food or water, except for a vague: "Our bodies are different from human's." I hope in the next book I can find these answers...
