Elementals: Battle Born

By: Amie Kaufman

Narrated by: Johnathan McClain

Tensions are at an all-time high in the final book of this rip-roaring adventure series about siblings with magical shapeshifter powers, from New York Times bestselling author Amie Kaufman.

Though Anders and his friends have delayed a war between ice wolves and scorch dragons, their mission is far from over. With adults on both sides looking for them, they’ve sought refuge in Cloudhaven, a forbidden stronghold that could hold the key to saving their home.

Meanwhile, Holbard has been ravaged, and its citizens are reeling. Many have been forced into bleak camps outside the city, and food is running short.

To rebuild Vallen and unite scorch dragons, ice wolves, and humans, Anders and Rayna must put everything on the line…before the damage done is beyond repair. But the price of peace may hit closer to home than they could’ve ever imagined.

Good Clean Fun

The ice wolves and the scorch dragons hate each other. To avoid conflict, they simply avoid each other. That is until one person makes it their personal mission to eradicate all scorch dragons. A war is brewing, and unfortunately for twins Anders & Rayna, they find themselves on two different sides of this decades’ long feud. They soon begin to wonder … is there another side? Can the ice wolves and the scorch dragons live in peace?

The Elementals by Amie Kaufman is a family-friendly adventure that will provide hours of entertainment for youth and adults alike. Admittedly, I found the end of the series to be somewhat anticlimactic; however, that does not in any way negate the nearly 20 hours of fun I experienced while listening to the adventures of Anders, Rayna, and their friends.

A note to parents: The hatred/prejudice exhibited by some of the characters (especially in the final scenes of the third book, Battle Born) may bother younger children. Also, parents should be aware that there are a few, brief references to a same-sex couple, and one of the characters uses the pronouns they/them.

Overall, however, the story is entertaining and worth listening to (or reading). It will be going on my list of books to recommend.
