Description
Eighteen-year-old Waterrunner Eira Landan lives her life in the shadows - the shadow of her older brother, of her magic's whispers, and of the person she accidentally killed. She's the most unwanted apprentice in the Tower of Sorcerers until the day she decides to step out and compete for a spot in the Tournament of Five Kingdoms.
Pitted against the best sorcerers in the Empire, Eira fights to be one of four champions. Excelling in the trials has its rewards. She's invited to the royal court with the "Prince of the Tower," discovers her rare talent for forbidden magic, and at midnight, Eira secretly meets with a handsome elfin ambassador.
But, Eira soon learns, no reward is without risk. As she comes into the spotlight, so too do the skeletons of a past she hadn't even realized was haunting her.
Eira went into the trials ready for a fight. Ready to win. She wasn't ready for what it would cost her. No one expected the candidates might not make it out with their lives.
A Trial of Sorcerers is the first book in a brand new, young adult, epic fantasy for readers who love stories involving: sorcerer competitions, slow-burn romance, adventures to distant lands, and elemental magic.
**A TRIAL OF SORCERERS is set in the Air Awakens universe, but is it's own unique story. Readers new to the universe can start here!**

It was pretty entertaining, I might like air awakens a bit more though. I am really awful with predicting plot twist, so if even I can see it coming, consider it way too obvious. Seriously, someone sending you a letter, asking to meet you, not even bothering to use „please“ and the first question being asked is about how to kill water runners, should make you skeptical.
Silence was often the best path forward in a noisy world. First of all: Look at that cover! Beautiful! Elise Kova is making her way onto my list of favorite authors. I really enjoyed this book from first to last page and I cannot wait for the sequel! Eira is a wonderful character to follow and the people (the world basically) that surround her are amazing as well. Her "choice" in love interests is questionable but the story was great, though it was a bit slow at the start. The world building had me irritated sometimes but that might have been because I haven't read The Air Awakens (I will do that asap, though!). The writing blew me away and I was barely ever able to put this down! I have to admit a huge issue with this book, though. The name Cullen. Everytime I read it, my mind went "sparkling, creepy vampires" which gave me flashbacks to reading hours I don't want to relive.
