The Wind Rages

Elemental Academy, Book 4

By: D.K. Holmberg

Narrated by: John Pirhalla

After discovering the Inquisitor’s plot within the Academy, Tolan is offered a chance to go with his father and learn from the Draasin Lord. Doing so not only means turning against the Academy and everything he has come to know, but means the Inquisitors will succeed in their plan.

When the Grand Master comes to him asking a dangerous favor, Tolan must make a choice that might bring him into direct contact with the Draasin Lord.

Everything he’s been taught about the elementals and the Draasin Lord is wrong.

If he can stop Aela and the Inquisitors, he might be able to save the Academy, but the Draasin Lord has something else in mind for him.

Amazing

Fantastic just fantastic just keeps you on edge wanting more. Look forward to next book.

interesting story but.

Great book for drinking game. take a shot for everyone the word shape or shaper is used. you won't get past the first few chapters. it really wears on you after a while.

I like the concept

The concept of the series is good and I like the approach to the elements. The protagonist gets ambiguous in age. There are inconsistencies. Character does something then a paragraph later seems to have not been involved. Little story line inconsistencies that could have been smoothed out. The protagonists’ favorite thing to say and be told is “I don’t understand.” Then virtually every other character tells him, “you don’t understand.” Then proceed to either not clarify or give a round about “answer”. This tactic comes off as trying to add mystery and layers to knowledge of the world but is used too frequently and with little pay off.

I’ve listened through to this book and intend to continue. The story is good, could have been great with some more refining.

Pretty good

As many other reviews have pointed out this author has a really good story line overall. That being said it is sometimes hard to trudge through the excess of repetitive thoughts and plot points. I'm glad i had listened to this otherwise i might not have made it through the first book. It's also tiering that even after 4 books and discovering a good portion of his power in the first book it still takes well into the 4th book for him to really even start to accept what his power is and it's source and that what he's feeling is real. Seriously how ignorant can this guy be.
That being said i think this is just how this author writes. I read a few reviews of another series this author wrote and i could have copied and pasted it for this one.
In the end I'm into the story enough that I will continue it till the end, but will probably not check out his other books, especially if they are all about the same.

Good story but a lot of repetition

The narrator is good but would have helped having a second, female, narrator as well. Still, he does well as a solo narrator.

The story is good but the author repeats almost everything several times. I almost feel like this should have been only an hour or 2 long if you remove the repetition. That said, it is an interesting story and I am dealing with the writing issues to get to the end.

awesome story and narration.

loved it. made me feel like I was in the movies. can't wait to continue the series.

the wind surely rages

I've loved the story this far, want more. recommend for all readers old or young.

Repetitive comments...

overall, a good story; however, the author tends to repeat thing multiple times, which become extremely annoying...

Fantastic and fun!

I really enjoy these books. I have always found books so much fun when you feel like you are part of the world. This series does that and leaves you wanting to travel the spirits path. Thanks for making great books!

great read

loved this series from book one will continue to listen to the rest. I am so I hooked on the story line.
