"Believe in me!" Aldrick's voice rose by a fraction before softening.
"I have crawled out of deeper holes this past year. Believe I can do this, because if you will be by my side, I will let nothing stop me."
I can't believe I've just finished reading the fourth book in this series. I read the first book last year, and ever since I started its been a continuous roller coaster of emotions. Vhalla Yarl has matured so much throughout this entire series, from being the shy librarian to becoming the ...more

“He was a reckless fool,and I was a girl pulled along by puppet strings.The fire burned too hot,and we didn't notice until it consumed everything.”
I am not lost for words often.I tend to babble and gush over the things I like and love until my mouth dries and my voice falters.But talking about Water's Wrath,talking about the book that eradicated my ability to think or dream about anything besides it feels way too personal.Like exposing my bare soul.But I will do it.Because you,yes you who ar ...more
I read this one in one sitting as well, literally have read three of these books in two days. I can not get enough.,
I cried in this one, a lot of crying. I can not believe all the things that happened.
I am so nervous about reading and finishing the last one, Elise is killing me
I am trash for this

This series is like a balloon slowly loosing air and falling, falling, falling until there's no air left at all. From the very start I really liked this series, though it wasn't unique, at least it was entertaining and Aldrik and Vhalla's relationship, which always was the main theme of the series, was something I liked to observe. In Earth's End it was no longer an option, because the characters' behavior was

“We can make our own way; we always have.” Aldrik cupped her cheek boldly, and Vhalla didn’t stop him. “What have we to lose?”
“Everything?”
“Is that all?”
I FEEL PERSONALLY VICTIMIZED BY THIS BOOK: THE SEQUEL TO THE SEQUEL XD
Trust me, it gets worse with each time💀😂 I CAN’T EVEN WITH THIS BOOKS ANYMORE *keeps rereading them anyways*

4.5 maybe? 5 at parts... and I can't even.. at other parts. Thank you EMMA for being my best bud during this series.
AJF:SLDKJF OKAY. Let me try to explain.
So I've been a conglomerate of mixed emotions in this series thus far. This is partly due to:
1. Aldrik and his craziness;
2. Vhalla and her character arc just making her the bomb diggity;
3. But most of all... the side characters in this series are the ABSOLUTE best. I'm talkin to you... Fritz, Jax, Elecia, Daniel, Daniel ...more

I have an unhealthy obsession with these covers, I can't even choose a favorite at this point. Prayers for my ship, I have faith. Maybe.

Wait. Back up. Those last three words.

Did I just read that line wrong? This better not be who I think it is. If it is, then Earth's End is going to shatter my heart into ugly fat pieces. No thank you please.

Well that was all sorts of emotional. I'm still not sure how I feel about it overall... I liked this book more than the third one, but also thought most of it was kind of depressing because (view spoiler). All of the side characters are my favorites and I NEED THEM TO STAY ALIVE PLEASE.

I SWEAR ELISE KOVA'S BOOKS GET BETTER EVERY TIME!!
How i felt through this book:
This book, as all others in this series, was incredible! I'm still having heart palpitations. I might read it again this weekend. Seriously. Awesome.
Summary:
As we left Earth's End: Aldrik is engaged to the princess of the north, Vhalla has run to the far reaches of the earth - her heart in pieces, and some of the secrets of the black sheep prince have come to light. We pick up with Vhalla in the west, working in a b ...more

Ehhhhhhhhhh I'll pick this back up some other time. I have too many books I actually WANT to read.
The cover <33
But who the fuck is that?
I'm done with Aldrik, so anyone else will be welcomed with opened arms.

Water's wrath, a summary:
- Incredible character development (Andrik's was A+, PERFECTION),
- Healthy relationship development (!!!!!!),
- Amazing friendships,
- Tears and sadness and rage and despair because Elise Kova is a monster and keeps killing the most precious characters of the series
*goes back to her cave to cry and read Crystal crowned*

I signed up and received an advance copy of the ebook for free in exchange for an honest review.
The story started close to what happened in the end of Earth's End which was good. Right away, I got to see how Vhalla's doing on her own, and how she's handling her situation with all that has happened at the end of the third book. While it was a bit steady at first, exciting events just started coming one after the other. They could be too much to handle too soon (especially that terr ...more

If the last book broke my heart, this book healed it, broke it, then healed it again and again.
Though I was quite devastated of the ending of the last book and wanted to read this book to satisfy my craving, I had to take my time before starting this book. I was curious on how the author will continue the story; I was bracing myself for things to go downhill because of the last events of the last book so I had to take a short break before starting this.

Elise Kova I kinda hate you right now. A little bit. You literally put me through hell wh-when you did what you did to us. I cannot forgive you for it. I refuse. It's mean, cruel and unnecessary. Really, it is. You should have giving us at least a bit of happiness.
Here's just my summary/thoughts of each book to remember how I felt about them:
“Even something very small can cast a large shadow when it is close to the sun.”

4.5 STARS
Where do I start with this one? Angsty, emotional, frustrating, moving...are some of the words to describe this book. So much happens, and most if it sad or heartbreaking or maddening! Vhalla had me smacking my head a few times from her stupidity.
But, I also loved how she and Aldrick had time away from each other to grow and realize how much they truly love and need each other. Time gave them a chance to see their relationship as it is: timeless and enduring. But then lots of other thi ...more

2.5 stars. I keep hoping that Elise Kova is going to pull a Sarah J. Maas and razzle dazzle us. I keep assuring myself that these breadcrumbs that Elisa Kova keeps dropping are going to lead to something mind-blowing and we're going to go, "Ooooh, of course, I should have seen that coming!" Sarah J. Maas excels at that. Elise Kova does not.

You know what I know that Vhalla loves Aldrik and vice versa but please I just want them to just forget about how they miss and love each other for once. Please please please please~
Seriously these characters should just stop with the wind walker obsession. I just hate it when Vhalla is some kind of a tool to be used again and again for these bastards because of her power. The girl is not a slave anymore, she earned her freedom, she's not a doormat you A-holes!!!

On one hand I want to call this book my favourite in this series so far. A lot of things come together and get explained, things that already started in the first book. I loved reading that! I also loved seeing some of my favourite characters going on an adventure. I loved to see them grow and form bonds and just being awesome.

Perfection doesn't even begin to describe this one. Where do I start? The end? The middle? The end? The part I desperately don't want anyone to mention to me ever again? The beginning where I thought everything was going to be okay because there's still one more book? I don't know because all of it was perfection.

5 Stars!!! (All the stars in the night sky if I could, but…)
Elise Kova delivers a stunning, emotionally draining, complex and action filled novel that I read in one sitting. Once again, Vhalla is discovering who she is, what her powers mean, how this shapes her relationships with the people around her and she attempts to figure this all out with a wider plot working against her the entire time. Vhalla shines through all of this, and this leads me to my first main point - Vhalla’s growth is exept ...more

Vhalla is discovering that she can't run away forever. Her bond with the crown prince wont let her forget him and her affinity with air proves to have powers that can unleash what's in the crystal caverns. Vhalla battles with whom to trust and what to do with her power.

So the story picks up where Vhalla has run off. She's in the crossroads essentially floundering about not really doing anything. It's a ...more
okay so originally I gave this four stars but it's back to three and mostly due to the dumb as heck ending. honestly like I'm shocked and outraged.
why couldn't vhalla and jax just run away somewhere together and live as an enemy destroying powerhouse? that would be the right thing to do - but no, they go back to aldrik and the palace (outstanding honestly this novel couldn't survive more than a 150 pages without the crown prince).

I'm not happy. This book was supposed to be way much better than this. It was predictable in most of its parts and really frustrating. The only thing that kept me going was my love for Aldrik. Also I felt that the Baldair situation was just put in for melodramatic effect, it made me angry not sad. I wish the series finale will be of higher quality like the first parts.
