Her exasperation over his lackadaisical attitude was almost comical. Audra took the training extremely serious and everything was a joke to Vane.

They were pretty much complete opposites. Vane’s sarcasm was funny, and Audra was sardonic toward him in an overly serious way. I did like Vane and Audra, though, even if I didn’t necessarily care about them together. It started off super strong, and went a little downhill (not too much, though) in the last half.

I’m fairly certain this book could have been 5 stars without all the lovey doveyness. Actually, the romance dragged it down a bit for me.

It’s not a bad one though, I just didn’t get all gooey over it. It was awesome! This book is unlike anything I’ve ever read before. They each have their own language, and the more of them you know, the more powerful the winds you control are. I love the idea of sylphs, and the different types of winds: Westerly, Easterly, Southerly, and Northerly. I absolutely LOVE the concept! It’s so cool and unique. I can’t believe it took me so long to get back to it! The sad part is, I was really enjoying it! The audio is really good – there’s two narrators, which I like, and they both did a fabulous job. I had NO idea where I was at, so I just…never picked it back up again. Not because I didn’t like it, but because my Audible app screwed up and I lost my spot in the audiobook. I started it via audio, and finished it by reading the rest.Ĭonfession: I started this book two years ago and never finished. This book is kind of an audio review, and kind of not. And as the storm winds gather, Audra and Vane start to realize that the greatest danger might not be the warriors coming to destroy them, but the forbidden romance growing between them. When a hasty mistake reveals their location to the enemy who murdered both their families, Audra has just days to help Vane unlock his memories. She's also a guardian - Vane's guardian - and has sworn an oath to protect him at all costs. She's a sylph, an air elemental who can walk on the wind, translate its alluring songs, even twist it into a weapon. She swept through his dreams ever since, and he clings to the hope that she's real.Īudra is real, but she isn't human. Instead, he woke up in a pile of rubble with no memories of his past - except one: a beautiful, dark-haired girl standing in the winds. Vane Weston should have died in the category-five tornado that killed his parents.
