Earth's End by Elise Kova
5.0

What a journey.

Earth's End is the third book in the Air Awakens quintet. Some of this book is a camp training montage, but most of it is political intrigue. I thrive on that, but not everyone does, so I think this is probably a book that some will enjoy and others will absolutely find far too long and boring.

I've been on a fantasy kick lately, so this series has been perfect for me. I've been devouring it.

From the back of the book: Vhalla Yarl has made it to the warfront in the North. Forged by blood and fire, she has steeled her heart for the final battle of the Solaris Empire’s conquest. The choices before Vhalla are no longer servitude or freedom, they are servitude or death. The stakes have never been higher as the Emperor maintains his iron grip on her fate, holding everything Vhalla still has left to lose in the balance.

The ending is definitely controversial. Personally, I loved it. I want to see Vhalla in her own glory, not fighting for love or freedom, but purely for herself and her own needs, and hopefully this next book will provide that.
