Air Awakens (Air Awakens, #1)

by Elise Kova

A library apprentice, a sorcerer prince, and an unbreakable magic bond…

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.

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. 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. 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. And with powerful forces lurking in the shadows, Vhalla’s indecision could cost her more than she ever imagined.

Loved this! I was hooked from the beginning. The story reminds me of Avatar, The Last Airbender but with older characters and a dreamier prince. I really enjoyed Vhalla and watching her learn and open up to her magic. Aldrik was yummy and difficult to get a sense of at first which made him all the more interesting. This seems to be more character driven than plot driven, but definitely picks up towards the end. I am already addicted and am starting the next one...
