Vortex Visions is the epic spin-off we all been waiting for since we last laid eyes on the Air Awakens series. If your new to this author and the world of Solaris you can dive in with Vortex Visions and not feel like your missing anything. Though it does and should make you curious enough to go back and read the original Air Awaken series.

Vi is the daughter of well-loved Vhalla and Aldrick who is eluded to throughout the book but we never actually see them, as well as her twin brother. We know she is kept in the north as a political pawn and is suppose to have already returned home to her family in the south. She expected to be a fire bearer but just like her well-known mother, nothing about Vi works out the way anyone plans it to. Her magic is new and different which is so great as this book expands what we already have discovered in the original series. We have Fire bearers, wind walkers, water bearers and groundbreakers. Now that is expanded to Light Spinners.

I think the mysterious Taavin is going to be one that we come to love and adore as much as the old characters that show up in this one. As he is the catalyst that sets Vi off on an adventure like no other. This adventure really helps Vi magic to develop beyond what anyone ever expected.

I thoroughly enjoyed this one and though there is some heartache toward the end of the book nothing is definite and we can hold out some hope yet that things will turn out ok. Elise has done a fantastic job and me eager to see where the rest of the story is going.
