5 Books In It Gets Better.

I really struggled to get through this series, but I'm so glad I stuck with it. Overall, this was a pretty original concept, it just didn't keep me on the edge, needing to see what happened next. I think the narrator was some of the problem, as I kept getting distracted, trying to decide whether the narrator was an AI or not, but I was reading it on my own during the first 4 books, so maybe not.

Basically, I didn't feel pulled into the story at the beginning. I think there could have been some editing and fewer books and it would have been better from the beginning rather than 5 books in.

Loved this series

I really enjoyed the continuation of this series, the way she weaved in-and-out of the past and threw the books of Air Awakens. I had a lot of those light bulb moments where I thought "oh yes I remember that" and how it connected. It was a really great series. I was also very happy with the way it ended.

Great books all 5 of them

I thought the thinking of this story by Elise Kova did a great job she she has an awesome mind I believe that the story was well-thought-out and Sarah Sampino Did a great job with the voices I thought that she was more concerned though with the pronouncing of the words a lot in all 5 books but I thought she did a great job. My own personal opinion I think a narrator should make the story flow better without concentrating so much on the pronunciation of each word but that's my own opinion.

Incredible Ending

This book is intense! It is the perfect (happy) ending to the Vortex Chronicles series. I laughed, I cried sad and happy tears, and I enjoyed every word! It has been a couple weeks and I am still thinking about this story and how perfect the ending is.

Great Series

Great series and excellent narration. Definitely recommended read. Nine Ten Eleven Twelve Thirteen Fourteen Fifteen

this was my favorite out of the five books

I like that pretty much everything is explained in this book from little things that happened in past books. and it does have a happy ending if anybody is concerned about that. and I like seeing transformation that Via Solaris has undergone from the first book to the end of the fifth book. I don't want to give anything away for people who haven't read the book. I like that a lot of the wrongs and betrayals that happened to Via Solaris in her life, which is many are all either worth it or is corrected it the end. I totally recommend the series I read one book after another I'm so glad I didn't have to wait for the author to write the next book!

The final chapter

Finally they catch a break after all
The things that happened. This book is a parallel story of the traveler from the books in Air awakens final book. You see the view and finally understand some things from the Air awakens story.
I hope the author tells the story of the new journey of Vi and Tavin. It was good.

I would start with golden guard or air awakens before reading theses because there is a lot of parallel stories.
Sad to see this series end. Hopefully more to come.
