About this listen

The power of the element bonds flows through the lands of Terndahl. Shapers can control that power and use it.

With the threat of rogue elementals escaping from the element bond and fear of another attack by the Draasin Lord, life at the edge of Terndahl is difficult for Tolan. Without any magic of his own, he spends his days working a menial job as a carpenter’s apprentice. When an elemental attack draws the attention of the Inquisitors from the Academy, everything changes.

A mistake brings Tolan into the Terenhall Academy, a prestigious training ground for powerful shapers, but it’s a world where he doesn’t belong. Unlike his classmates, he can’t control the magic of the element bonds.

With no shaping ability, Tolan must find the fire within himself to succeed. If he can't, he'll not only be forced to leave the Academy, but the dangerous Draasin Lord might gain the very power he's long sought.

This box set contains the first three books of the best-selling Elemental Academy series:

  • The Fire Within
  • The Earth Awakens
  • The Water Ruptures

The overall story is good but the way it's written is rough to listen to because everything is repeated so many times, it makes you lose focus on the story and you end up just wishing it would move on. Also the main character seems to constantly forget that they had already achieved some milestone or skill and won then end up conflicted about the same thing all over again.

Good but hard to get through

For the most part, I have enjoyed this book, I disagree that its slow in regards to the book in general as I have not been bored, however, this book suffers from my pet peeves in that the characters failing to explain themselves which too frequently results in his friends not believing what they have said. What is also So annoying is his disbelief in his own ability even though he frequently acknowledges he's been able to use the particular element several times. Urgh, it is off-putting but outside of these complaints, I am still enjoying the book. I agree with another reviewer in that there needs to have been a very significant change in book 4 otherwise I'm not sure I will continue the series.

Generally enjoyable

The story could be interesting but the writer repeats points, often multiple times in the same inner monologue. It is easy to lose focus on the story.
The reader makes odd pauses and inflections during the performance, it is robotic and does not help the story continue to follow
