Farris has the misfortune of being an elemental: born human but host to barely contained primal energies. He wants what any young person wants—the chance to live his own life. Yet the fiery forces within him make him a danger to those around him and a target for capture and study by the Science Guild. On the Lone Continent, humans thrive in their cities through the Guild's revolutionary technology while the forests are home to powerful wild magic. Farris must confront his fears—fear of capture, fear of the wild Fey in the woods, and above all, fear of his abilities—if he's to remain free.

A good debut from the author aka YouTuber Council of Geeks. The story follows Farris, an elemental boy with fire powers, trying to evade those who wish to capture him for it. The writing is refreshingly non purple prose, and the world building is great . Mixing in fairytale and folk lore creatures (of which the author truly knows their stuff about) and a kinda Flintlock technology society. Plot has unexpected twists and ends in unexpected but satisfying way. I will say that the main character of Farris is a bit bland and I found the surrounding cast of characters more enjoyable and compelling.
The narrator has a good range of voices and manages to make each character unique, however in general narration, I found her pacing a little too fast and for the first time I had reduce the speed of the audio. But this may just be me.
Overall an enjoyable debut and I look forward to the next book from this author.
