High fantasy isn’t usually a genre I read, but the promise of a library apprentice and a sorcerer prince was something I couldn’t pass up. 

“Air Awakens” had a lot of great ideas and a great magic system. The characters felt a little bland and the book was very slow, but there was a lot of groundwork that needed to be established for the other books in the series.

It was alright. I feel like the main character is a little flat, and her love of books being her only personality trait seems like a cheap gimmick to get readers to like her quickly. It took a minute to get into, but I'll pick up the second book sometime soon.
