Fallen Academy: Year One Audiobook – Fallen Academy, Book 1

As I sat curled up on my favorite armchair, a steaming cup of tea in hand and the soft glow of fairy lights illuminating the room, I pressed play on “Fallen Academy: Year One Audiobook”. From the very first chapter, I was transported into a world where angels and demons collide, and humanity’s fate hangs in the balance. Leia Stone’s storytelling is nothing short of captivating, blending fantasy, romance, and action into a seamless narrative that kept me hooked until the very end.

The protagonist, Brielle Atwater, is a character you can’t help but root for. Her journey from uncertainty to self-discovery resonated deeply with me. The moment her black wings sprouted during her awakening ceremony was both shocking and symbolic – a reminder that sometimes our greatest strengths come from what we perceive as flaws. Vanessa Moyen’s narration brought Brielle to life with such authenticity that I felt every emotion – her fear, her determination, her budding feelings for Lincoln Grey. Speaking of Lincoln… oh my. He’s the kind of character who makes you roll your eyes one moment and swoon the next. Their chemistry was electric, even when they were at odds.

What truly stood out to me was how Leia Stone crafted this intricate world where humans are divided into demon-gifted or angel-blessed categories. It made me reflect on how society often labels people based on superficial traits rather than their true essence. The pacing of the story was perfect – never too slow nor rushed – and Vanessa Moyen’s voice added layers of depth to each scene. Her ability to switch between characters effortlessly made it easy to follow along without ever feeling lost.

By the time I reached the final chapter late into the night (I couldn’t stop listening!), I felt a mix of satisfaction and longing for more. This audiobook isn’t just about supernatural battles or forbidden love; it’s about finding your place in a chaotic world and embracing who you are meant to be. If you enjoy stories with strong heroines, complex relationships, and immersive world-building like “A Court of Thorns and Roses” or “Shadowhunters”, this is definitely worth your time.
