pretty darn good

burke is easily one of the top 5 authors in the genre. all of his series are well thought out and written. I'm patiently waiting for more of this series and possibly a crossover.

Excellent installment

I enjoy this series for its uniqueness in the genre and the very creative story telling this it involves. I like world that has been built here and the characters are very interesting

Does it really have to end?

Super Powereds by Drew Hayes was and still is a great series. This book is all that plus sexy times. The story is what's most important though and you can tell that the author feels that way by how long it takes for the first consummation scene termed bonding. This was from my review of the first book and I stand by it now that the series is over.

The whole series was great but this one took it to the next level. No one wants a really good series to end, but David Burke left it off where he could pick it back up if he wanted to. I doubt it but who knows what the future will bring. Those fight scenes were incredible and his girls are just badasses. I will say that the best part about this series being over is that in 6 months I can binge listen to the entire series all over again. WITH NO BREAKS BETWEEN BOOKS!

Don't waste time thinking about this series, just buy it and enjoy. The narration is top notch, and the story is too! Bye for now Prism and family.

Guility pleshure

I find these books to be my guilty plesure there not the best storys but there fun and i just can't stop following them

almost perfect

Jonathan Waters is an amazing narrator, but Mave is several layers below. this book would have been perfect with a better female narrator.

What a ride!!!

What a ride?! This was amazing, had so much fun with this series! I am sad to see it end but there is a peak of something more…

I thank Royal Guard for the opportunity of getting this book.
The action is taken to a new level and the love grows deeper. The world will never be the same as Aiden and his women take the reins for those who would drive the planet into the void!
Aiden and his women all meet what feels like a good balance and a firm relationship. I love the girls but there is really too many of them to be honest…

I am mostly satisfied with how this ends. With the era of Prism Academy and the supers defined by the progenitor energy reaching its limits. There is a future hinted of so much more. Allowing for the potential of cultivation and REAL power!

I HOPE that Burke will give us the opportunity and adventure that those who have also read his Wargod for Hire series, to see a merging of the series!

The narrators did a fantastic performance and continued through to the end.

Prism Academy #5: Shadowfall

Introduction:
Greetings, fellow beings of HowlStrom, the icy realm where winter reigns supreme. It is I, Kiba Snowpaw, the alpha male Ice Wolf with the power of ice magic, who has ventured into the world of literature amidst our century-long winter. Today, I shall share my thoughts on "Prism Academy- Shadowfall" by David Burke, a tale that has resonated with the cold depths of my heart.

Basic Plot Summary:
In this fifth installment of the Prism Academy series, Aden, our protagonist, finds himself surrounded by enemies, both from within and outside. The emergence of a new adversary signifies that it's time for Aden to shed his inhibitions and face the challenges head-on. With the looming threat of the shadow, Aden must rally his allies and strengthen his bonds to ensure victory. The fate of the shadow hangs in the balance, and the outcome remains uncertain.

"Shadowfall" is a tale of resilience, bonds, and the internal and external battles one faces. The narrative is gripping, with a blend of science fiction and fantasy elements that keep the reader on the edge of their seat. The story's pace is relentless, much like the fierce blizzards of HowlStrom, pulling the reader into its vortex.

Characters:
Aden, the central figure, is a character of depth and complexity. His journey, filled with trials and tribulations, mirrors the challenges we face in HowlStrom. However, the character of Cara has been a point of contention for many. Her continuous descent into the shadows and her repeated attempts at redemption have left readers divided. Tess's role in the story also remains ambiguous, leaving one to ponder her significance in Aden's life.

Structure:
The book is structured in a manner that allows for a seamless flow of events. The transitions between scenes are smooth, and the narrative is cohesive. The author has skillfully interwoven various plot points, ensuring that the reader remains engaged throughout.

Impact:
"Shadowfall" leaves a lasting impression on the reader. The story's themes of trust, betrayal, and redemption resonate deeply, much like the echoes of a howl in the vast expanse of HowlStrom.

Hook and Thesis:
The book's hook lies in its intriguing premise and the challenges Aden faces. The thesis revolves around the idea of confronting one's inner demons and the external forces that threaten one's existence.

Praise and Critique:
The tale is commendable for its intricate plot and well-developed characters. However, some readers have expressed dissatisfaction with the portrayal of certain characters, particularly Cara. The excessive emphasis on intimate scenes has also been a point of critique.

Evaluation:
Overall, "Shadowfall" is a captivating read that offers a blend of action, drama, and emotion. While it has its flaws, the story's strengths overshadow its weaknesses.

Comparison:
Compared to the previous installments in the Prism Academy series, "Shadowfall" stands out for its heightened stakes and intense character dynamics. The narrative has matured, reflecting the growth of its characters.

Conclusion:
In the icy realm of HowlStrom, where challenges are a part of our existence, "Prism Academy- Shadowfall" serves as a reminder of the battles we face and the bonds that sustain us. It is a tale that will resonate with many, and I, Kiba Snowpaw, recommend it to all who seek a thrilling adventure.

May the frosty winds of HowlStrom guide you on your literary journey.

More than what I ever expected!

As a series, Prism Academy is far beyond a dirty story book. It’s a testament of great characterization and development. The characters have become so well developed over the entire series. They’re more than just arm candy. They’re more than just sex dolls. They’re fully developed characters with individual personalities and expressions. Each of the ladies are so well developed that they feel more and more realized as the series goes on.

It’s a masterclass in character development from a writing standpoint. No character was left behind. It’s that good.

David Burke is an automatic purchase

First time I felt the need to leave a review. New to the litrpg genre and am always wearing of spending credits on a title I don’t like. But this is roughly my third series of David Burke’s I’ve read and he hasn’t missed yet.

Fantastic!

I love how we are wrapping the series into each other, will there be a crossover series? Thanks so much everyone who brought this series to life David John Maeve!
