While I love this story it is so long that you kind of life interest 1\3 of the way through. You can even skip ahead to the last 10 chapters and know what is happening.
I think Irena great premise it just has a lot of added stuff.

First things first This sequel had me more on the edge that The Fire Prophecy. I was like wow what a twist and I sure wasn't expecting that. Secondly I really dislike those Elders the way they were taking advantage of Liam and Sophie. I really liked the background we have telling exactly how Nashoma passed such a sad scene but went well with the story. As we know Secrets can destroy and boy do our Main characters have their secrets in Water Legacy. I really cant hardly wait to read the third book in this series to see how everything will be resolved. Also I was so disappointed in Blain in this book I really liked him and hope he can be redeemed in my eyes.
Not how I pictured
I didn't picture it going this way but if it was real life, secrets are always kept. There are times I want to throat punch Sophia and other times, Liam. But love them both, and love the series. Definitely continuing because there is so much unanswered. I want to know what's at the bottom of the water tank their secret spot! For some reason, that one is eating at me out of the 100 questions lol

Simply lost interest. The writing style felt a little unedited/unrefined and the story felt jumpy and inconsistent.
Loved it! Ready for more. Great story, lots of action and adventure.

This audiobook is amazing! Not only is the story, but the narrators have raised the bar. My listening experience with this book went beyond my expectations.
First of all, if you haven't read any books from Megan Linski & Alicia Rades, either indiviually or together, you're missing out! The combination of their writing styles is a whole new level of story telling.
I enjoyed Liam and Sophia so much. And yes, as it says in the description, Liam was supposed to kill her. Talk about star-crossed lovers.
I have not read the previous book in this series, but I am mostly certainly going to now. The dual narration of Graham Halstead for Liam and Jennifer Jill Araya for Sophia was awesome. I tend to lean more toward narrations like this. And let me not forget to mention that this is actually the first audiobook I've listened to with their narrations.
As always with Tantor Audio, the quality was perfection. No mid-cuts. No white noise in the background. A total win-win.

Okay but really, first of all I would say that if you are able to listen to the first book first, do it. I didn’t and while I wasn’t completely lost, I did miss out on everything that our main characters had to go through in that one, and it did make me feel like I was missing out on some of the background and foundation that laid the plot for this one. I was still able to keep up and it didn’t mess up much for me, but I will say that.
Second of all, this book says it’s a YA fantasy, but dang did it get pretty steamy in a janitor’s closet. And I’m not even joking about that. It just so happened to be Valentine’s day in Orenda Academy, and Liam got Sophia some flowers. She gave him a hand job. Yes, I’m serious. She’s a virgin and wanted to do something nice for him without going all the way. Nothing wrong with that, she apparently did a great job.
BUT Darn it Liam why couldn’t you have aimed for a better spot to “finish” than her shirt?! Darn you.
So yeah, Orenda Academy feels like more of a college scene than a high school, and nothing’s wrong with that. I just wound’t label it a a YA novel. Maybe more a NA (new adult) novel? That may work out better with the content and the sexy scenes. If that’s not your bag, you can skip them. But they do get pretty juicy.
The premise of this novel was very interesting, and I haven’t seen one like it. The tribes that the students are a part of seem to have some inspiration from Native American tribes, although I could be wrong. Koigni possess power over fire, Liam’s tribe (which I’m forgetting right now, sorry) is water. It gives me Avatar: The Last Airbender vibes, mixed with His Dark Materials because each student has a familiar with them. Well, except for Liam, and that’s a sad story in itself which wasn’t explained in this one from what I remember because it was probably explained in the first novel.
I can imagine the whole water and fire don’t mix thing, and how Liam and Sophia have to fight through the odds to make their love work, and how Liam’s basically under the orders of having to kill her. I doubt he would actually do it, especially if he does love her. That’s hard, you know? Plus, that’s killing another student. Do they allow that in school?
The narrators did such a great job in this one. I really felt like I could feel their emotions while they were reading the novel, and I am so glad that they had a voice for Sophia, and a voice for Liam. Sometimes when books have multiple POVs, they can sometimes use one narrator, especially if it’s written in third person POV but you can clearly see which character the chapter revolves around. It worked out in this novel’s favor to have two separate narrators, and I fell in love with both of their voices.
Since I enjoyed this one, I would love to go back to the first novel, meet Sophia and Liam for the firs time , and see just how insane the Elemental Cup was. Because that… sounded really insane. And stressful. Thank goodness Sophia survived it.
