Listen to the Land of the Elementals, Books 1-3. Over 480,000 words in one convenient box set!

Life is cruel. Arbor learns this lesson the hard way when everything he loves is taken from him in a single night. Left alive by the men who butchered his family, Arbor has two options: give up and perish, or rise up and fight to take back the life he's lost. To do that, though, he'll have to leave behind the only home he's ever known and venture out into the world beyond.

What he doesn't yet realize is that the world is a much more dangerous place than he could ever have imagined. A world filled with magic, monsters, and mythic beasts powerful enough to destroy entire nations!

Annoying MC

Just started haven’t even gotten past chapter 10 and already pissed at the MC,

Spoilers!!!!!!


Firstly, forgot about his sis and chose to fight against a overwhelmingly superior opponent

Secondly, decided to be a superhero rescuing someone who he doesn’t know when he’s got a mission to find said sister

Thirdly, killing government officials (and he’s never killed before btw)even though he could’ve tried to knock them out therefore not being an outlaw

Good start. Bad end.

By the end of the first book I was looking for things to look up a bit in the second book.
The second book did make it appear that the story was improving and by the end I just knew that the third book was where positive scenarios would come together.
The third book started good but by the end….I no longer care. There was no positivity, quite literally nothing that makes me want to read the fourth book even though I have already purchased it.

Great series!!!

Towards the beginning of the book it was a bit of a struggle to listen to but as the story progresses, the author's writing and style seemed to solidify itself and the book flows much better. Loved the boxed set and I can't wait for more

great 👍🏾

great book trilogy this is what i was looking for in a long time narrator's was excellent loved it.

One of my new favorite series.

I will re-listen to this series often. Hearing many voices from Dungeon Lord has been fun and the story has been riveting. I only have one complaint about the storyline, which is an interesting thing. Maybe you will find that spot and feel the same.

oh well

not real crazy about how the sister is being made the bad guy and not crazy and Arbor being kept away from home. but over all good books.

Great performance for what they had to deal with.

The story was as bland as a hospital pancake. The characters as shallow as a special needs swimming pool. Fortunately this doesn’t become a total travesty until book 3.

(Spoilers if that’s possible, this book is extremely predictable)

The magic activations or whenever he used his “origin” to touch others “magic” was clearly a euphemism for orgasms. On top of that the thought process of the sister when she becomes more “pragmatic” was clearly incest. Talking about how she’s going to keep her brother from other females because she was clearly superior made me incredibly uncomfortable. With all this going on the cringe inducing description of these characters physical appearance sounded like horny teenager going through a very late puberty. Every two seconds you hear something along the lines of: “she hardly had any fat and the curves of her buttocks”, etc.

The fight scenes were a redeeming quality though equally perplexing later in the series. Overall: the narration team made it interesting, some of the characters were funny then quickly forgotten. Romance in this book is bewildering at best, mostly a dude humble-bragging about how he knows these woman like him; then to say something about his dead fiancé that was totally forced. The first two books are paced quick enough to be less annoying. The third book should have just been left out.

Some Voices and sounds were irritating.

Some of the audio you have a hard time hearing, then squeaking loud. Weird stuff.

the story

I loved it can't wait to listen to the other books. I will recommend it to my friends.

However, however .. way too many unneeded words.

Overall, it could be an amazing story if it was edited.Too many re-tellings, too many extra words, too much saying the same thing with different words and throwing in a however.

.. I usually like the narrator, Andrea, but I think she could have done a better job with this one. Her emphasis in the sentences was on the wrong words for this type of writing, and it ended up making the main characters seem passive even though they just went around killing anyone that they deemed enemy.

Both MCs are stupidly overpowered and nieve, yet both pretend like there is nothing they can't kill, then get shocked over and over when they almost die..

There are many great side characters and a great plot line. Has a bunch of major races such as dwarfs, elves, humans, gremlins, demons, angels, and some elemental creatures, as well as several different realms.

As I said, it could be a great story. Many stories have similar concepts, lol, but THE MOST DIFFICULT PART for me is the extreme amount of the word 'however', both in places it would be fine and places it should never be.. feels very unprofessional, and Andreas' way of stressing the word just about has me bashing my head on a wall, begging her to stop reading the word.

I bought the 3 in 1 book and am almost done with the third, I'm going to finish it, but I will not be getting the next books. If I'm on book 3 and this problem is persisting, I doubt it will be fixed by the next book.

The author needs a new editor.
