Elemental Academy Boxset

Books 1-3

De: D.K. Holmberg

Narrado por: John Pirhalla

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

Excellent

Really enjoyed, and I wish the last two books would release soon. I tried to slow down listening and hopefully give more time for the books to release but I couldn't! I can see a movie series made from these very easily. Keep it going Mr. Holmberg!

nothing happens for 3 books

only listen to this many books bc it's a collection. almost nothing happens for 3 books, finally something almost happens at end of third book so tried #4 and yup more nothing plot

Hard Meh!

This story was done better in the Cloud Warrior Saga, as a matter of facts this is essentially the same story but with a Harry Potter theme. Unfortunately, the protagonist shows no growth through these three books aside from power. The MC suffers from a horrible hero complex, power insecurities, and is so self-serving his it makes the story a struggle to get through. I wouldn't recommend this series and sad I wasted a credit.

can't wait for next in series

very intriguing, very well read, and kept you wanting more!! I would recommend for any fantasy enthusiast

A good series with lessons

I bought this series awhile ago and finally started it. I found it had a good start which was catchy. The story starts out in a small town and then moves to a capital city. Nothing is as it appears! The main character starts out knowing nothing, but unlike so many other stories they really apply themselves to learn before they're forced to learn! The story has a large underlying story which isn't resolved in these three books. If it had I would have given this story 1 star and walked away. Now I'm interested in the story and put it on my list to revisit once I complete the 100 unread books in my library! Plus I like the narrator and have listened him in the Bob verse series!

When you read this series I recommend you do the first three books non-stop and then move on. Otherwise the intricacy of the story can be forgotten. I hope you enjoy it.

Be prepared to buy the rest of the books

I loved this book series so much that I bought all of them after finishing the second book. Fantastic series that keeps you guessing and wanting more.

Cool story, lots of mystery.

Cool story, lots of mystery. Story and path are good MC is sometime a little to clueless but there may be reasons for this. Will want to know how it finishes.

Great story

I found the overall story rather entertaining but I promised myself when I finished it I would leave a very particular review on one of the problems I found with it. His two friends are by far the worst friends I have ever read of. They are so close minded about his power it’s infuriating. There denial of his ability is insulting and it gave me a migraine to constantly put up with it. There were several points where I had to stop the book to calm down because I was about to yell about it. If I were him I would’ve left them a long time ago and found friends more open minded.

A pleasant surprise

I downloaded this set because I love magic and fantasy. When I neared the end of it I was sad, thinking it ended with book 3. I am very happy to see that it continues! The only thing that slightly bugged me was the way it was narrated. It could use more variation of tones, inflictions of emotion, and building excitement. However, it is still an enjoyable listen and I wish I had found the series sooner.

Well written, well performed, but MC never changes

This is a well produced book! For one credit 3 books is a great deal. Nothing surface level will bother you.

The MC starts a bit daft, as is totally normal, but over three full books worth of writing, he stays almost as daft as he started. He doesn't grow as a character. It's like he exists in a parallel timeline where the plot never happened and he's still on day one of his journey. He will lie about something in book 1 for little reason, and then still be lying about it 30 hours later. He doesn't openly discuss anything with anyone ever.

Slow or stupid MCs don't bother me. He just never changes or grows. It's frustrating. And it's such a good book apart from this serious flaw. Give it a shot! It's worth the price of admission. The first book you won't even be mad at the MC. It's not until he's the same in book3 that I just stopped caring about him.
