This is the first book in the Air Awakens series. There are five books in this series. Previous to reading this book I had read Kova's âThe Alchemists of Loomâ and thought it was okay but not great. I really ended up loving this book a ton. It was engaging and hard to put down.

This book introduces you to the very likable and engaging Vhalla who is an apprentice in the library. We quickly find out that Vhalla is no normal librarian but may have magical powers and may actually need to be trained as a sorceress.

There is some excellent world-building here, some action, a sweet budding romance, and a lot of magic. I enjoyed the characters a ton and thought the story was very engaging and easy to read.

Overall I really ended up enjoying this YA fantasy a lot. I can't wait to read the second book in the series, Fire Falling. I would highly recommend this to those who enjoy YA fantasy with a touch of sweet romance.

Really enjoyed this book. The idea was a bit different and the characters were well drawn out. The main character is someone I could relate to. She was a hard worker, funny, smart and loved books. I enjoyed reading about her and her days in the library. When the story takes off further to forbidden magic, I enjoyed reading about that as well. Even the romance wasn't too overly done (which tends to happen in YA). Looking for to the next book in the series!
