Let the Sky Fall by Shannon Messenger


Vane Weston is the "Miracle Child" who survived a freak tornado that killed his parents and several other people. He doesn't remember anything from that day, except the face of a girl who haunts his dreams. But the girl in his dreams - Audra - is real and she is a guardian who has pledged to keep him safe from warriors who seek him. When a mistake reveals Vane's location, Audra has to tell him the truth: she's a sylph and so is he. Now they have a limited amount of time for Vane to come to terms with his heritage, learn the skills he needs to survive, and to remember the past, before it catches up with him.

The sequel, Let the Storm Break, will be released in March 2014.

This story is told from both Vane's and Audra's points of view, which gives each of them quite a bit of depth throughout the book. I found it interesting that the air elementals are the main characters and I was curious to find out what would happen, although parts of the story are a little predictable. I would recommend this series to fantasy fans who enjoy stories about magical creatures in the real world and romance.
