Summary:
Soldier…
Sorcerer… Savior… Who is Vhalla Yarl?
Vhalla Yarl marches to war as property of the
Solaris Empire. The Emperor counts on her to bring victory, the Senate counts
on her death, and the only thing Vhalla can count on is the fight of her life.
As she grapples with the ghosts of her past, new challenges in the present
threaten to shatter the remnants of her fragile sanity. Will she maintain her
humanity? Or will she truly become the Empire’s monster?
Fire Falling is the second book in the Air Awakens Series.
Review:
Fire
Falling lived up to my expectations for a sequel of a brilliantly written first
book—Air Awakens. Why 4 stars only? Because while it did lived up to my
expectation, there’s still some things that prevented me from giving it a
5-star rating.
I
disliked the fact that the author focused more on the romance between Vhalla
and Aldrik. Like I mentioned in my review for Air Awakens, one of the factors I
love in this book was the pace of the romance but that pace clearly changed in
the sequel. I honestly would prefer if the author focused on the growth of
Vhalla instead of the romance. Because of the romance in this book, I did have
moments wherein I hated Vhalla and Aldrik for their stupidity. Love made them
prone to danger. It made them a fool.
Also,
I have a new added asshole on my hate list—The Emperor. I think anyone who have
read Fire Falling will hate this poor excuse of an emperor. He and Egmun can go
rot in hell. I commend Elise Kova for making characters that would incite hate
from the readers, in a good way. The author knows how to create hateful
villains in a book. And that’s quite a feat since it’s not a walk in a park to
create villains in a book. I think it’s easier to create characters that
readers will love than to create villains that readers will hate.
Other
than the pace of the romance going too fast, I have no other complaints.
Overall, Fire Falling is an amazing sequel that will not disappoint you. I’m
beyond excited to read Earth’s End after writing this review.

ohmygosh, death of who!?!? I've had this sequel on my reader for maybe a month now. Don't know why I'm stalling! But thanks for the heads up on things. Great review, Alyssa! :)
