Longer answer...

I wrote this book with the intent for new and returning readers alike to enjoy. The original Air Awakens series is Vhalla's story. This is Vi's story. Overall, the two have different main casts of characters, different villains, and different struggles.

BUT, with that being said... VORTEX VISIONS does take place 20 years after the end of Air Awakens and follows Vhalla's daughter. As a result, there are some spoilers for how the original series wraps up (though much isn't gone to in detail in VORTEX VISIONS, just broad strokes).

So, if you're a reader who focuses on the journey, rather than the destination, and delights in the nuances of a story. You'd be fine to jump right into VORTEX VISIONS. In fact, you may even enjoy the teasers given for Air Awakens and be even more intrigued to see how these characters came to be as they are....

However, if you're a reader who wants absolutely no insight into a book before you pick it up, then I'd recommend giving the original Air Awakens series a shot first, and if it doesn't resonate with you coming back to VORTEX VISIONS because it is a different story with a different narrative (and I've improved a lot as a writer since penning Air Awakens).

Hope all that helps you make a decision! (less)
