This book is such a great start to this series and so much happens.
And with powerful forces lurking in the shadows, Vhalla’s indecision could cost her more than she ever imagined. 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. 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. 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. 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. Let’s get into these tiny reviews/gushing about the books!Ī library apprentice, a sorcerer prince, and an unbreakable magic bond…
Elise is an incredible writer, and I never have any issue seeing what she’s describing, and all of her characters are unique, but actually hearing them come to life, it blew me away, and I want a Netflix Show, animation, anything, something I can watch about these books.īut, enough said. I really do think that listening to the audiobook version of the books offered something new to the story, and I think the woman who read them did an amazing job at bringing them fully to life. It was just so cheesy.Īnd I actually fell for a different character that I don’t remember falling or feeling for in my first time reading – that would be Daniel. And again, maybe it was just the audio books, but damn, I could not stop rolling my eyes every time he said it. I also have an issue with his phrase of endearment for Vhalla later in the series. The major one being, I now have this love/hate relationship with Aldrik. But there are some things that I’ve come to realize. My ratings for these books haven’t changed from the first read to this re-read, because I still absolutely love them. This time reading through these books, I noticed some things I didn’t notice before – or maybe it was because I was listening to them, rather than seeing the words on the page. Maybe if I hadn’t been bingeing them it would have been different, but it was too jarring and the names didn’t sound right, so I switched over to my physical copies.
I didn’t listen to the fourth, because for whatever reason, there was a new narrator and I didn’t care for her (she wasn’t bad) after listening to another woman give voice to the characters for three books. I listened to the first three through Audible, and I highly recommend it, they are so good. This has become one of my favorites, and I actually hadn’t planned on re-reading them, but then I decided why not and went for it. I’m so glad Facebook advertised this book/series to me.
