Fire and Water don’t mix.

Sophia

I’m Sophia Henley, your typical college freshman. I never expected a lion to be stalking me, nor for fire to come shooting out of my hands to protect my sister. Next thing I know, a drop-dead gorgeous guy shows up on my doorstep to sweep me away to a magical school, where I’ll learn to control my element and bond with a powerful creature called a Familiar.

I don’t believe I’m the savior of an ancient tribe, or the missing piece of a prophecy that’s more myth than reality. Worst of all, I’m forced to enter the Elemental Cup, where I’ll either earn my place in this society… or die trying.

Liam

The night I met Sophia, I didn’t think we’d form an undeniable connection. But I’m from the Water tribe, and she’s fire. I’m forced to push her away even as I’m falling for her. I lost everything, yet Sophia makes me whole again. Our world is fixed on keeping us apart, but we’re in this tournament together. We have to keep each other alive at any cost— or I’ll give my life for hers.

It’s pretty clear. If I continue to play with fire, I’m going to get burned.

Kinda Not For Me

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2020

Verified Purchase

Let's start with the positives.
First, I adore the animal companions supporting their partners and their personalities. I'm a sucker for animal companions.
Second, I like the description of the world, the classes scenes, and some of the characters.

The one thing that I dislike the most is Liam and Sophia romance. I don't see them as lovers. More like friends or allies at least. Liam was moody throughout the whole time with a few good moments and I don't see Sophia or anyone falling for him yet. The one thing I dislike about Sophia is her keeping a huge secret from Liam while two of the other friends knows about it. It's not fair for him. Liam told her he trust her at one point and she still did not tell him. I know this decision was made for a future plot line but that just breaks it for me. Plus the couple themselves.

In general, the book was middle ground for me because I love a story with elementals, animal companions, some high stakes with action, and a few comedy bits. The world building was good. We get to learn about the world from Sophia's perspective. However, I only managed to get through the book because of the plot and some secondary characters interactions. Everything else was either dislike or meh to me.

Too many errors in the writing, but a good adventure

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2019

Verified Purchase

There are lots of errors in the writing: misspellings (diseased instead of deceased), subject-pronoun errors (they/their not they/its) and direct/indirect object pronoun errors are everywhere (I vs me)! Ugh. If the reader can ignore the numerous distracting errors, the story is somewhat enjoyable. It is similar to other popular stories: a high school grad discovers she has magical skills, and she must move to attend a school of magic where she meets bullies and a mean professor, weird friends (a fashion-challenged free-spirited gal and a gay body-builder-sized dude) as well as a forbidden love interest, and she must compete in a deadly tournament to prove her worthiness and to fulfill a prophecy. There is a crazy assortment of magical creatures that are fluffy, rainbow-colored and sparkly rather than having teeth and claws. The magic system is elemental and not very surprising or original.

What’s irritating is the blind acceptance of the laws of society. There is no real evidence of enforcement of the rules other than tradition. Why would people, who know about modern democratic ideals, who are supposedly trying to survive and maintain their culture, allow the school’s professors to basically murder most of the students in a tournament? This is ridiculous. What educator would participate in the murder of inexperienced students? My “disbelief suspenders” can’t handle this much. Also, the forbidden love between clans seems to risk a lot of in-breeding. It doesn’t make sense, either.

What’s good about the story: There are some good battle scenes. The protagonist is a positive role model who seeks to be kind to others, who wants to follow her heart, and who also makes some mistakes along the way. Her reason for not disclosing the big secret about Esis to Liam doesn’t make sense, though. Sigh.

I want to like the book more than I do, but the problems listed above add to my frustration and detract from my desire to read book two.

Juvenile Fun

Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2019

Verified Purchase

I can see how this is trying to be "Harry Potter for American college kids", but it really does not even come close to the mark. From what I can remember, the book starts out with a young woman finding out her parents were magic, and then being summoned to the magic university by another brooding student. The four "houses" are associated with the elements and steeped in Native American legends (even though the house names sound vaguely Asian), and each student bonds with a "familiar", or magical animal companion. The students are twenty-somethings and take classes similar to those in Harry Potter, but their interactions are on the high-school level of petty and shallow. There's a stereotypical quirky best friend, a flamboyant gay guy, and the hot loner love-interest who is "forbidden" because he's in a different house.

I put this book down multiple times to read other things because of how silly it was. I probably would have loved it as a younger teenager, but as an adult just out of grad school, this came across as very juvenile with way too much going on. It shifted half-way through the book from discovering the wonderment of a magical world to a hunger games-like tournament where people die yet somehow the adults don't care?

Overall, I wanted to enjoy this book because I like animals and elemental magic, and thought some of the concepts could have been interesting had they been more fleshed out. Not sure if I will continue with the series unless if I get desperate for something to read. Even though there are "adult" sexual references and language, I think this would be more enjoyable for high school readers.

Really good

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2019

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed Sophia and Liam's story and after the cliffhanger ending, I'm eager for the next one to come out. I felt like this was a loose cross between Harry Potter and the Hunger Games. The whole magical school thing had a HP vibe to it, only the magic was all elemental and instead of pets we got familiars. The elemental cup had the intensity of the Hunger Games and similar life or death stakes, except more than one person could survive and the point of the game wasn't killing each other. I did feel like the content was a little mature for YA. At least I thought this was YA when I bought it, but I can't seem to figure out how to get Amazon to let me see the genre of a book anymore, so maybe it's intended for a more mature audience.

Entertaining but also frustrating and predictable

Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2019

Verified Purchase

The premise was good, the characters were cool though the MC starts kind of pathetic and she takes a while to get better. If the story had worked with that and tried to improve from there the book could have been perfect. Sadly the MC makes bad decisions all the time specially when the team is in danger, her family also decided it's better to let her remain ignorant than warning her of all the possible dangers, but the worst part was the incredibly stupid ending I don't think I'll be reading the next book anytime soon or ever.

i was bored and wanted to read a free book, so i found this. overall it was an alright book, but the concept had been done before.

Good for age 13+, there are definately better books to read, but hey, its free. Im definately not planning on paying for the others

Often there were obvious loopholes and the plot moved to fast and many charaters i completely forgot about. For example (SPOILER WARNING) i still never found out why Doya's lion attacked Sophia or why she was adopted.

Another part that made no sense was liam almost dying, them making out and randomly finding the totem. The endinv was so rushed and at this point the elememtai are evil cause they allow murder and separate people from familiars.

On the better side there were many moments that made me laugh especially Jonah and Esis. the fact that the story was cringey and cliche made it even funnier.

Tbh i read it as more of a joke but still enjoyed the funny bits.

I have no idea why this is rated 18+, besides the unnecessary f bombs. There is no smut and mild violence. Would recomend for age 13+

Discovering she has magic while protecting her sister opens a new world...and introduces her to a life unexpected. New friends, enemies galore and it's just the beginning of the journey. A great mix of characters and a whole new world...and an ending you will not expect (my reaction can't be printed lol!!).

This is so good... Holler I just found this randomly and I am really happy. I love all stories that get me a vibe of Harry Potter. It really intriguing... I mean the whole time you get the vine they want her dead or something... I don't trust anyone... At all... The end was not a shocker but will definitely get a new side of the story... Did is so unfair but if it would be there wouldn't be a story to tell... I am 100% sure of her mission I just don't know how she will do it.

Magic
Ancestors
Familiars
A bitch that thinks too highly of herself
A teacher that makes my brain scream don't trust her...
And forbidden romance

Great combination for a great story.
