Prodigy of Thunder

Chronicles of Anna Atticus Stone, Book 1

The youngest warlock to ever wield lightning, 14-year-old Anna Atticus Stone dreams of attending the prestigious Academy of Arcane Arts.

Except her life is a mess. She's friendless, her older sister keeps knocking her teeth out, and her parents constantly argue.

Anna endures the chaos by studying for the coming academy entrance trials. A pass will mean friends, warlock tournaments, and exploring a thousand-year-old academy - maybe even solving a mystery or two.

But when she discovers her father carries an ancient and powerful secret intended for only one daughter - a secret her sister will do anything to possess - Anna finds herself in a desperate fight for her family...and her very future.

Prodigy of Thunder is packed with powerful sorcery, fearless adventure, ancient mysteries, and tender betrayal. It can be heard alone or as a prequel to Sever Bronny's best-selling coming-of-age sagas The Arinthian Line series and the Fury of a Rising Dragon series.

Amazing Performance and Glimpse into Anna's Life

The narrator did an amazing job at performing this book. She didnt just read the lines to us, She acted out the emotions and gave the characters life. As far as the book itself, it was one of those books you cannot put down or stop listening to. 5 stars all around.

Fantastic performance of a good but straightforward book.

I came to this book because of Moira Quirk, the reader, who did not disappoint. not quite as strong of a performance as the TLT series but very good. lots of emotion lots of engaging character voices.

The book itself is a little bit of a mixed bag. enjoyably written, especially the wizard duels. However, I have two minor problems that keep it from being a 5 out of 5. firstly, it seems almost everyone in this world immediately resorts to either yelling or physical violence for any altercation which kind of becomes one-note over time. Secondly, it's very straightforward. I'm not a ton of surprises or twists and turns. I think there was only one that I sort of didn't see coming and its actually took away from character depth rather than adding to it.

Still fun, but I don't feel like it's going to stick with me. I'll probably give the second book a go, but mostly because of Moira Quirk's performance.

satisfying history tying to the main series lore.

some of it was too on the nose. I wish there were more new pieces of lore and context that hadn't strictly been mentioned in the primary series. more of how Ana's version of the ancient cycle unique and stories that weren't even hinted at yet. I want more than just answers to hints we've already had, it's a new series and deserves new hooks.
