From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author D.K. Holmberg.
"Sensers, shapers, draasin, nymid—this series started off strong by showing a new side of fantasy" — Bryce, Goodreads reviewer
Tan is an earth senser and a skilled tracker—talents which are wasted cleaning out stables. He should be excited when he's told to guide the king's most important servant through the mountains that surround his village, but as far as Tan is concerned, being given a task for the king is akin to a death sentence.
But Tan soon learns that there are things worse than a death sentence. Terrifying creatures from dark and dangerous Incendin, a place long locked away by shaper magic, have returned—and they've destroyed everything Tan has ever loved.
Now Tan must help the king's servant find an ancient artifact, the only thing that can stop the Incendin evil. And to do so, he must gain the trust of Amia, a beautiful wanderer who has lost just as much as Tan.
"This is a great fantasy story. Full of chases and romance and battles... I was hard pressed to put it down." — Dreya, reviewer
"I have just finished the 8th book in this series, my advice to someone who is considering buying this book would be to JUST DO IT." — Shannon K. Keel, reviewer
Chased by Fire The Cloud Warrior Saga Book 1 eBook DK Holmberg
Just finished reading the 11th book and figured I’d give my take of the entire series, for those who may want to invest the time to real all eleven.The good: the book is well written and edited. He story is a good one and has many moments that grab the reader. The main character is likable and relatable and the author does a good job of communicating the main character’s narrative.
The not so good: the series is a bit too dispassionate. The entire thing reads like you stumbled upon someone’s personal journal in which the author is struggling to solve one specific issue, but a journal that’s written by a third party.
No other character is fleshed out and even the main character often doesn’t feel “human.” There are painfully few “average life details” for a series this long. For example, the two main characters marry and have a child, yet there’s not once I can recall them having an intimate moment. I think they kiss perhaps twice in the entire eleven books and not once actually say “I love you” to each other. They’re interested in each other and then all of a sudden she’s pregnant and they’re getting married. Without ever even reading of them expressing their affection for each other.
You never read about anyone eating or having a side thought or experiencing anything of a usual nature that help the reader feel as if they’re part of the narrative. There are no sub-plots and no background is given on any other character. As a result...you’re entirely indifferent to all of them. Two people Tan is supposed to care for deeply go missing early on in the first book and aside from a couple “I wonder what happened to them” moments, they’re never mentioned again and you finish the series never knowing whatever became of them. Tan’s relationship with hai mother is strained but you never get to know why. Tan’s father is supposedly a powerful person but you never get to know why. But we read eeeeendlessly about Tan obsessing over how he’s going to solve this problem and eeeeendlessly lamenting that he just doesn’t think he’s good enough to succeed. Despite repeatedly succeeding, the next problem sees him obsessively fearing that he’s going to fail. Every other character exists only to further Tan’s narrative and as a result you just don’t care about any of them. After 11 books you want to feel a little regret about saying goodbye to people feel you know, but in this series you never know any of them anyway and none ever do anything that makes you relate to them so you’re just kind of like “meh, that’s over finally...”

Chased by Fire The Cloud Warrior Saga Book 1 eBook DK Holmberg Reviews
I just can't fathom why this book has so many 5 star reviews I almost went with a 1 star just to try and off set them a bit and if not for things becoming a bit less confusing in the last quarter of the book I would have. the prose in this book is stunted and choppy, thought progression is not cohesive and leads to things being needlessly confusing; this is why IMO that authors should very rarely tell stories that keep the reader as clueless as the MC. It is one thing to have a MC that is oblivious but when your efforts to keep the MC in denial make the reader feel confused and oblivious as well you have failed utterly...that is what has happend here. Ironically despite the events surrounding the MC being confusing the other aspects of the plot are so obvious and predictable it was almost silly when everything that happen seems to surprise all of the characters.
This story follows Tan a 17 yo. that is an "earth senser" - a variation of a magic user - that can sense things having to do with the earth elements. This plot is ridiculously shrouded in mystery and Tan is an idiot. he spend most of the book not understanding anything but then all of a sudden he is able to start speaking to elementals that have not been seen or herd from in hundreds of years... Deus Ex Machina much? He keeps preforms acts of elemental shaping that have nothing to do with the earth element during moments of duress but despite the repeated events remains in denial that it might be him or even try to notice what it was he did; but at the same time he can "feel" when the others shape and knows who is shaping by how they feel different... seriously how inconstant can you get. He is obviously going to turn out to be one of the "Cloud Warriors" or something equally or more powerful eventually. Why make him out to be a clueless idiot that bumbles his way from one hopeless situation to another constantly being saved by others or eucatastrophe? The story line just did not feel well thought out, was needlessly confusing and Tan was needlessly annoying. With the slightest of shifts the author could have made this a 4 star book by just allowing Tan to be aware of his abilities after he started using them even if he did not let him control them consciously at least it would have made the MC look less the pathetic fool, and allowed for him to develop in ways that didn't feel contrived to advance the story in a convenient way; it was like the author just could not be bothered to make his characters think their way out of things. Tan was so unlike-able that I would have been happier with him being a complete "Mary Sue" that laid waste to everything, with that kind of character one can take a deep breath accept that is what is going on and enjoy the ride, at the very least he would not have been useless that way lol.
This s is a story a story of a boy who grows up in a small village in the boarder of the kingdom. Unknown to him he poses a power he does not understand and underestimates. Soon evil comes and tan is thrust into an adventure to find an artifact that may save the kingdom.
Very little depth in the main character. All you know about him is he has a power he uses three times but he does not know anything about, his father is dead, and he is good at tracking. With this little detail I found the character hard to like or even read.
The grammar will not be a big problem in this book. It seems only few errors were there to find.
The story has magic beings (elementals) and monsters which were bland and poorly told. No in depth with really anything in this book, just a run run oops I did magic run run, kind of book.
As for magic it does exist but you are not told how it works. As I mentioned before the main character uses it three times but he does it without knowing. It is explained as pressure in the ears and that is it.
There is mention of schooling in magic come book two if he goes to the capital but we will see if he just learns from the elementals (earth, wind, fire etc..).
No drugs, sex, rape, beer. Perfect for kids
