Telryn "Trip" Yert has always been a little odd, with hunches that are too accurate to explain. Magic is feared and forbidden in Iskandia, so he's struggled his whole life to hide his eccentricities. As a boy, he was forced to watch his mother's execution. Her crime? Witchcraft. Understandably, Trip wants nothing to do with the power that lurks within him, always threatening to reveal itself. Instead, he dedicates himself to serving as an officer in the king's army, to battling pirates and imperial conquerors. He longs to become a soldier as respected and renowned as General Zirkander.

The first great war of Ovira is over, and the most hated king in centuries is dead, but his nephew still lives. However, Basen had nothing to do with the destructive war his uncle started. In fact it was his uncle who exiled him and his father to the territory of their enemies, where Basen's dreams of becoming a legendary mage now fade, as he must work all day just to eat. His only chance at regaining some semblance of the life he thought he would lead is to join an elite school that trains, houses, and feeds a thousand new young men and women each year.

The arrival of the mysterious Magi, along with their near invincible guardians, signals a change. For Jakob, apprentice historian, and son of a priest longing for adventure, it begins an opportunity. When his home is attacked, Jakob starts a journey that will take him far from home and everything he has ever known. Studying with a new swordmaster, he gains surprising skill, but also strange new abilities that make him fear the madness which has claimed so many has come to him.

Publisher's Summary

The barrier has fallen. The king is gone. Tan has secured the artifact, but now the Fortress of Fire in Incendin burns more brightly than it has in a generation. To master his connection to the elementals, Tan needs to rediscover knowledge about the elemental power that has been lost for centuries. When the draasin bonded to him is injured, Tan must rely on everything he's learned to save him and discovers a new threat to the kingdoms more powerful than anything he's ever faced.

AUTHOR REPEATS HIMSELF TOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would you try another book from D. K. Holmberg and/or Nicholas Techosky?

Yes

Has Fortress of Fire turned you off from other books in this genre?

No

How could the performance have been better?

The performance was just fine. Repeating the same stuff over and over and over and over and over and over was just a pain in the behind to listen to.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Anger and frustration. How many times do I have to be told that Tanin bonded to earth first. That he could sense fire easily. THat he and Amiah are bonded because she shaped him. Over and over and over and over. UGH!

Any additional comments?

I know it's too late, but dude, stop the annoying repetitiveness. Seriously ruins a great story.
