Publisher's summary

Magic isn't Taken - it's Inherited.

Eighteen-year-old Meena Song wants a normal life with a normal job and normal friends. Well, that ain't happening.

An unbelievable secret is revealed in the worst possible place - a public bathroom. Yup, gross, but still not the strangest thing she'll see today.

Who gets invited to a magical academy if you have zero magical ability? Meena does. Witches are real, but most of them are a-holes. Now, she has to figure out why she was brought to this prestigious manor in the woods, filled with lies, cliques, and one incredibly hot jerk that Meena can't seem to avoid.

Broken Wand Academy is a stand-alone episodic series that also shares the same universe as Marisa Claire's Academy of Shifters series. There's more to this world than you can possibly imagine. Watch for a future crossover series!

Broken Wand Academy: Episode 1

This is the first episode in the Veiled World Series. This series has a very interesting take on how the witches gain their powers. Mina's grandmother use to tell her stories about magic. She didn't realize they weren't just stories. I can't wait for the next episode! Chaleeya did a great job narrating.

fun story

Just wow. This is a fun quick read and listen that I really enjoyed. What do you do when you find out that magic is real? Well you find yourself enrolled in a spell school of course! But you still don't believe it, because it can't be real right?!
I had a great time listening and reading this book. I can't wait to see what happens next

A great start to a new series.

Summary:
All Meena wanted was to continue her life with her friends until she met a very strange man while at work. He strange clothing and manners didn’t fit into someone from her small town. Upon learning she would be going to a local college he offered her a place at a school for magic. Now most people would have laughed at him. Meena didn’t believe him, but she remembered all the inexplicable things her Grandmother showed her. You would never think a trip to the bathroom would be life changing, but for Meena the doorway opened into an office that could change her life forever. Meena’s entrance into the world of magic was filled with humor, bullying, wonder, friendship, and maybe just maybe romance.
Things at Broken Wand Academy are not for the feint of heart leaving Meena to wonder if it isn’t worth the effort until she gets her first taste of magic and now she will fight for her place. Between learning new things, friends, and enemies, Meena and her friends have their hands full. This was a fast paced and riveting start to a new series. The audio-book brought the characters to life for the listeners enjoyment.

great

This book is a great short read/listen. my only down fall is the narrator is not my favorite. I love how you can tell the difference between characters, but the reading wasn't as smooth.
Back to the book.. I like how Meena is still cant believe magic is real but she is curious to know more. But she also see that people here are a little different on the way they act with something.
I want to know what happens next.

Narrator was rough!

Hard to listen to this narrator. She sounded like a robot right off the bat.

a great start

Broken wand academy is short ,fun read. At first I don't understand what's happening but later part where meena spend her life at academy is quite amazing. I was really invested in about finding out the relation between her grandmother and school, about her magic powers.
Overall, I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to read a short fantasy.
Its good for book reading challenge . It has great pacing, so you never feel like the story is moving too fast or dragging along. The characters are great, and the story is just marvelous.


✅ easy to read
✅ fast pacing
✅ amazing characters
✅ never boring

Great

I love everything I've read by Marisa Claire and this was no exception. I didn't like the narrator as much as her others but the story was worth the listen. Meena was a great MC and I know who I hope she ends up with. I've already read the next two episodes and looking forward to reading the rest.

Good story

This is the first glimpse in the world of broken wand academy, in episode 1 we meet the characters, who are very relatable, and the professors of the school. Already trouble is stirring. I love a good story with magic and intrigue!
