So, minus a few points for originality, but for the most part these similarities are really only surface-deep. The story itself (in this book, at least) doesn’t appear to have much in common with Avatar, and nor does it seem like the series is moving in that direction, either in terms of plot development or character development. It’d be quite a surprise if that actually happened.) Part of me is even expecting that in future instalments in the series, Vhalla will miraculously discover the ability to control all the elements, and in doing so become the Avatar! (I’m only joking. The Solaris Empire is Air Awakens‘ answer to the aggressive, militant Fire Nation of Avatar, and there’s even a character who’s known (informally) as the Fire Lord (though thankfully he bears little resemblance to Fire Lord Ozai). Firebearers, Waterrunners, etc.), to the way the different elemental races have interacted through history.
Drawn into a world of danger and sorcery, Vhalla must decide what is truly most important to her, and where her loyalties lie.Ĭomparisons to Avatar: The Last Airbender are inevitable with this book, and the influence of the series on the setting are certainly very evident, from the race-based elemental magic system (complete with special names for sorcerers who manipulate each element, e.g. Everything that Luella has known about this world turns out be a lie as she’s taken into the world of magic, finding a world that she will need to save.In the city of Solarin, the capital of the great Solaris Empire, Vhalla Yarl works as an apprentice in the palace library, and is happy and satisfied with the way her life is unfolding close friends, a job she loves, and plenty of time to read – what more could she ask for? Until one day she inadvertently saves the life of Crown Prince Aldrik, and her life becomes a lot more complicated. All that changes when the Elf King arrives and he’s looking for her.
Luella is glad to have avoided this fate and instead has dedicated her life to becoming the town’s healer. There has been a long agreement between humans and elves that has kept the peace between them for centuries as the elves take a young woman from Luella’s village to be their Human Queen. The Married to Magic series starts with A Deal with the Elf King. However, when she unknowingly saves the life of one of the most powerful sorcerers, she is drawn into that world. Vhalla has been raised to fear the world of magic and has preferred her place in the quiet world of books. There is also a seventeen-year-old library apprentice named Vhalla Yarl who has a rare elemental magic sleeping inside of her, a magic that could shift the tides of the war. The story begins as the Solaris Empire is just one more conquest away from uniting the continent.
