About this listen
With just one step, 16-year-old Alex Jennings' world changes - literally.
Dreading her first day at a new school, Alex is stunned when she walks through a doorway and finds herself stranded in Medora, a fantasy world full of impossibilities.
Desperate to return home, she learns that only Professor Marselle can help her...but he's missing. While waiting for him to reappear, Alex attends Akarnae Academy, Medora's boarding school for teenagers with extraordinary gifts. She soon starts to enjoy her bizarre new world and the friends who embrace her as one of their own, but strange things are happening at Akarnae, and Alex can't ignore her fear that something unexpected...something sinister...is looming.
An unwilling pawn in a deadly game, Alex's shoulders bear the crushing weight of an entire race's survival. Only she can save the Medorans, but what if doing so prevents her from ever returning home?
Will Alex risk her entire world - and maybe even her life - to save Medora?

The narrator grew on me quickly. Very well read and would highly recommend. Would love to buy them to have physically but they are difficult to get a hold of in the UK.
A fast favourite

The entire series is one of my favorite young adult fantasy series ever, the books aren't stand alone so starting here with the first book is wise. Its not quite right for the youngest listeners(there is a little bit of violence and war in this series) but its a series that would fit well as a family listen on a long road-trips or as a Sunday activity.
This book starts introducing you to a beautiful parallel world to ours, with interesting species, places and people/characters masterfully written by Lynette Noni. The world-building continues throughout the series so it never feels like you are stuck in a school in a different world,
In its entirety the series teaches us about friendship, loss, love, bravery, overcoming challenges and forgiveness.
The series had me laughing at points, crying at others, and immediately after finishing the last book i HAD to start the series again and I've listened to it multiple times since.
Carly Robins has done a great job of giving voices to these characters and masterfully conveys how they feel, the teenage girls don't sound overly shrilly, the teenage boys sounds like teenage boys. The adults and other races are also beautifully read.
10 out of 10 would recommend to fantasy enthusiasts of most ages:)
Beautifully fantastical

I’m an old wrinkly. It’s not in the same league as authors K F Breene or Shannon Mayer. But I’m invested enough for book 2. There have been many similar that I’ve given up on by the second chapter.
It’s free with audible plus as is book 2. Whether I’d invest in a purchase however…..I’m not sure.
I enjoyed it
