Kirsten asked Elise Kova:

For someone who was just recently introduced to you, like myself, which of your books would you suggest I read first?! :)

Elise Kova Fantastic to be digitally "introduced" and thank you for your interest in my work!

All of my books deal with some kind of fantasy or magic, but they're all very different. I have three universes to date, and they're completely unrelated (so there's no "recommended starting point" between them). I'll tell you a little about the first book in each one and you can decide where you want to start based on what you're feeling and your preferences :)

AIR AWAKENS
Genres: Young Adult, High Fantasy, Romance
Series Length: 5 books (+ a prequel trilogy starting with THE CROWN'S DOG), all released
This series was my debut and has elemental magic, LOTS of slow-burn romance, royals, and war in a fantasy empire. You can read the Air Awakens prequels first, but I recommend starting with the original series. I have announced that I'm working on a sequel series, but no release date.

THE ALCHEMISTS OF LOOM
Genres: Adult (with YA appeal), Epic Fantasy, Dark Fantasy, Steampunk
Series Length: 3 books, all released
Loom is my quirky dark story set in a divided world where one race is governed by science and logic and another by magic. This one is bloody, violent, and gritty... still has a bit of enemies-to-lovers romance, but it takes a bit of a backseat to the political intrigue and adventure. (Paperback is out this month!)

SOCIETY OF WISHES
Genres: New Adult, Urban Fantasy, Alternate History
Series Length: 4 books, book one is released, book two is out April 9th, all books will be released this year
Society of Wishes is my first co-author venture and is kicking off a huge world that will ultimately become some pretty epic fantasy. It has some steamy moments and is a quick read. You can expect a book in this universe every 3 months.

One final note... Air Awakens and Society of Wishes are both in Kindle Unlimited! This does, however, mean they're limited to Amazon only for the ebooks. If you have another reading device, you can email Amazon proof of purchase to Elise.Kova.Author@gmail.com and I'll send you a personalized "read anywhere" link.
