Chronicle Conducive To Books Akarnae (The Medoran Chronicles #1)
With just one step, sixteen-year-old Alexandra Jennings's 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 a man named 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?

I met Lynette when I was in Australia and she is by far the sweetest person I've ever met! We were on panels together and signings at SupaNova con, which is Australia's comic con. Every time she talked about her book, I was intrigued. I finally had a chance to read it.This is a debut novel and the characters are really well drawn and likable. The main character, Alex is transported into another universe and she's stuck there at a boarding school called Akarnae until an expert in travelingTHIRD READ 05/02/19 - 5 stars I hit one of those dreaded reading slumps when I picked this up, which means that all I'm in the mood for is incredibly cheesy and angsty romance in a fast paced book. This book has an incredibly slow burning romance that is only lightly hinted at in this book, so sadly this took me a while to get through when I'd normally fly through it. I do not fault the book for this. However much I love my romantic subplots and would love for a certain ship to have started in
This novel blew me away. I was shocked. The synopsis does not, I repeat, DOES NOT do justice to the book. This is my first review, and I never intended to write one, but this book was too good of a book to miss the opportunity. Akarnae was set at a great pace, with amazing characters, in a perfect scenery. It was beautifully written and captivating the reader into the fantasy world of Medora; where there is advanced technology and gifted people. Alex; the sixteen year old protagonist, walks

I read this ages ago but apparently forgot to mark it as read!! LOVED THIS! Love you Lynette
I rather enjoyed this book. Let's get the minor dislikes out of the way. When Alex stumbles from one doorway into a new land, I felt she was a bit slow to determine that this was something supernatural. It was also bizarre to me that (view spoiler)[ the first person she meets is the very enemy that has been seeking her out for hundreds/thousands of years. (hide spoiler)] One very minor pet peeve at the beginning: For a book that starts in Oregon, the author used the British spelling of the word
Actual Rating: 3.5What a fun magical adventure! Akarnae is like a combination of Harry Potter and Xmen, where Alex stumbles into a magical school where everyone has powers. All of the magical elements in this novel were absolutely delightful, and my favourite part was the magical library filled with secrets, which only Alex could navigate safely as the chosen one. The snarky banter and her close friendship with Bear and Jordan was also really fun to read.While Alex was fun, snarky and hilarious,
Akarnae was wonderfully written and delightfully surprising, not to mention an incredibly enchanting fantasy. Alex's story begins with her parents abandonment in favour of their own adventure, leaving her at a new school without helping her settle in. Where most teens would be an emotional disaster, Alex takes it all in her stride but before she's had a chance to enroll, she's thrown into a world that is not her own.Alex has no choice but to remain at Akarnae, with the only person who has the
