Arcturus Academy: The Complete Series

De: A.L. Knorr

Narrado por: Marni Penning

In love with one twin, bonded by fire to the other. Welcome to Arcturus Academy.

98% of fire magi who attempt the agonizing forbidden ritual known as The Burning don’t survive. Those who do… level up in ways undreamt of by the Unburned. I survived.

Now I've got other problems.

Headmaster Chaplin charges me with tutoring struggling student April, but when a bully targets April, I feel my control slipping. It doesn't help that he is my crush's evil twin, who--for reasons no one can explain--I share a powerful mage-bond with.

It might be enough to push me into darkness. Will I emerge a hero or a fiend? Even I cannot say. Read Arcturus Academy and watch the sparks fly!

Great series!

I fell in love with this character in the Born of Fire book by this author. When I learned she has her own series I felt compelled to stop where I was in the elementals series and jump into the Arcturus Academy Series. I love Saxony’s compassion, strength and perseverance throughout all of the books. I would recommend it to anyone who likes fantasy books with strong female heroines.

narrator really brings the story to life

I loved reading these books, but loved listening to them even more. The audiobook narration really brings the books to life and helps with my imagination so much.

Awesome series

Absolutely awesome series. Book 1 A new author for me and all I can say is Wow a great first book to this series. I am hooked. The authors style has caught my attention. Great characters and a plot that keeps you turning pages. Saxony is a mage who survived what is known to mages as The Burning. Not many who attempt it survive but those few that do find their powers leveled up so to speak and they become more powerful. Now she is attending Arcturus Academy to learn how to control her fire power. The catch is that her teacher doesn't want the other students to know about her burning. She manages to get private tutoring after her tests which catches the attention of Ryan who is the evil twin of her boyfriend Gage. Ryan is a bully, a cheater and a liar. Unfortunately even though Saxony dispises him, they share a mage bond. So when Ryan latches onto April who is meak and a poor mage struggling with her power Saxony knows he needs to be taken down a notch or two. A great first book in the series filled with firepower, friendship and betrayel. Book 2 This is really starting to be a great series. Book 2 didn't disappoint. So many great characters. I really like the headmaster Bassel, he is an interesting character. He is strict but also compassionate. He tries to teach the mages what they need to know and steer them in the right direction but not all the students listen to his advice. In this one Ryan is still up to his triscks. He is blackmailing Saxony. He wants her to bring him through a burning and he is using Saxony's friend April to get her to comply. But April has never wanted to be a mage so when her fire goes out she is thrilled. Ryan is furious when he looses his hold over Saxony so he will have to find another way to get what he wants. Meanwhile his twin Gage is blind to his brothers atrocities. Saxony has to get Gage to see he is traveling down the wrong path. I am really loving this series. Another new author for my favorites list. Book 3 What a great series. I really like the characters and each story gets better and better. Saxony is a very complex character but always tries to see the good sides of people. In this one Bassels father has died and his will states that Bassel and his sister Babbs will run the school together. Bassel knows this won't work because his vision for the school is completely different than Babbs. She believes in getting students to go through the dangerouse burning ritual and Bassel fears students will die. Babbs already runs a school that is smaller than Arcturus but basically does the same thing. An agreement is made that they will compete in a sudden death challenge and the winner will get the academy. The competition is fierce and Saxony being the only one that is burned is expected to win. She is nervous when she realizes she will be competing in the final challenge of hand to hand combat with a girl named Ira. Saxony learns that Ira is a hybrid. She is a fire mage but also something else and Saxony has no idea what it is. She will have to be clever to win this challenge and save the school. Book 4 Another great installment in the Arcturus Academy series. Saxony & her friends are involved in a mystery trying to stop someone from stealing the fire from the fire mages. All over the world mages fire was going out just like what happened to April. While involved in another matter, Gage came to help Saxony with another matter and then he was kidnapped. He was taken by the people stealing mage fire so they had to find him as soon as possible. They will also uncover anorher innocent victim a long the way. There was a lot going on in this one and it had great characters & world building. On to book 5. Book 5 What an epic ending to a fantastic series. Another new author for me that has left me speechless. I will definately be reading more of her books. Interesting characters with a wide variety of personalities and takents. A superior villian that didn't show himself until the last 2 books and what a villian he was. Mages were still loosing their fire and bassel and the students couldn't figure out how it was happening. Gage's fire was taken by brutal force and almost killed him. Saxony and his friends vowed to get the responsible person no matter what. Ryan came back to help but I did not trust him at all. He has done nothing but lie and cause turmoil. As the crew learned more about how it was happening, they embarked on a very dangerous journey to find the truth. In the end there was a couple new characters who definately helped a lot in an epic battle. This is now one of my all time favorite series. A perfect read for any fantasy lover .

Arcturus Academy: The Complete Series

Arcturus Academy: The Complete Series ~ 🔥 This series was an absolutely incredible read about fire magi, filled with action, twists, and unforgettable characters. From the very beginning in Firecracker, I fell in love with Saxony — Knorr created her with such depth and emotion that she quickly became one of my favorites. I couldn’t wait to dive into the next book, and each one pulled me in even deeper.

OMG 😱 what has Ryan done??? The action never lets up! There were so many shocking turns — fire magi losing their fire, secrets unraveling, and betrayals that made me gasp. Every book was a page-turner that kept me from putting it down. This series is exciting, intense, and addicting — the kind of binge-read that takes over your life until you finish.

The twists and turns were brutal at times — and yes, you really do learn to hate Babs! But I loved the way A.L. Knorr wrapped things up so satisfyingly at the end of each arc while still keeping me desperate for the next installment. When Saxony and Tomio raced to find Gage and fulfill her debt to Enzo, I was on the edge of my seat.

❤️‍🔥 And the ending of the series absolutely delivered! Watching the girls come together to destroy the evil monster was epic and so rewarding. Targa being pregnant with twins added the perfect hopeful touch for the future. Honestly, this was one of the best series I’ve ever read, and I would love one more book showing these fiery women and their loves 10–15 years later (HINT, HINT 😉).

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Definitely recommend this series! A.L. Knorr is a master of weaving magic, romance, and action together. Arcturus Academy has everything — forbidden rituals, academy rivalries, shocking betrayals, and powerful sisterhood. If you love fantasy with heart and heat, this is the perfect binge-read.

📚🔥 Best series ever!

Coming of age fantasy series

These are stories that should be read, or listened to, in order for the best experience.

Saxony, the main character, is definitely a flawed teenager in the beginning, with plenty of room for maturing and character growth, which takes place over the rest of the books. Other characters are easy to like, while some like Ryan and Jade are easy to dislike.

Throughout the series there are plenty of twists, angst, ups and downs, first love and heartbreak, successes and struggles, mystery, drama, and action, especially in the later books. The world building for fire mages' magic and abilities is creative and easy to follow. I liked that the power worked a bit differently for everyone.

The ending wasn't what I expected, but worked nonetheless.

Marni Penning performed the stories and did well bringing them to life. The only thing that jarred me at first was how deep she makes Saxony's voice during her dialogue. Saxony is a teenage girl at the start, and the speaking voice felt like a much older woman, and sometimes even masculine. She switched from a higher-pitched more teenage voice for narrative to the deeper voice for dialogue, so at first I thought someone other than Saxony was talking.

A great series I highly recommend.

exciting and gripping from beginning to end. A entire series for one credit what's not to love but it you will not be disappointed.
