Apex Academy Omnibus: Books 1-6

By: Ethan Shaw

Narrated by: Patrick Dubois, Nina Harmony

The complete series in a single offering!

A primal call. Fate undeniable. A new Prime Alpha awakens.

I used to think my life would be common, boring even. My online guildies and my friends sure thought so. Yet everything I knew to be true in this world all changed drastically one fateful night... or should I say, it shifted.

As it turns out, my father passed on more than his name to me. Something feral and mighty awoke within me, and I knew at once, I would never be the same again. Shortly after, I received an invitation that I didn't expect, a call to attend the mysterious Apex Academy.

A world of shifters, human animal hybrids, suddenly opened up before me. Not only were these creatures dangerous. Many were surprisingly... appealing to look at.

Under any circumstances, the pressure to compete with fellow Alphas, the pursuit of Omega females, and of course, passing classes, would be enough. Yet it seems the gods have something special in store for me.

For I am no mere Alpha. I'm one of the very few who wield the power of all the shifter species. I inherited my father's legacy. I'm the newest Prime Alpha.

I just have to survive long enough to claim my power.

Decent Story

The story was decent, but there were a couple of issues. There were several story plots that were introduced and never resolved. Characters introduced and later altered for no reason. It felt like there was multiple large chunks of story missing and later reference to.

Amazing start horrible end

The first three books in the series were amazing consistent storylines great plot and amazing character development. But as soon as you start book for the story starts falling apart characters have unexplained changes to their behavior. Whole storylines are forgotten and it seems like the protagonist motivation changes and it just gets worse from there book 5 and six feel like they were written by two completely different authors with plot holes and storylines that don’t make sense and a random endgame villain that was not teased or even set up in the first three books. This is a shame as this series started off great but I felt like the author had no idea what to deal with the series after book 3 so he just kept the premise for book 4 and went completely off the rails for books 5 and six. I’m 90% sure he forgot about two of the female love entrances as they are hardly mentioned in book 5, and I don’t think I even heard their names in book 6. Overall, it started off great but after book 3, it falls apart.

I liked the story but after book 4 it got disappointing

I like the first 4 books of this series. I really like the character Bradford they brought in book 4 but in chapter 3 of book 5 they completely changed his character and made him unlikeable, another change was his impression on the mc in book 4 he liked him enough to wait to make him a general then book 5 he hates his cockyness??? like in the last book he didn't have that and they change people's shift types so I am losing interest in this book first half awesome last half not worth it

Amazing!

I love this series so much and i love the narrators on this amazing project too!

Half and half

I really liked the first 3 books but then something changed on 4-6. So many inconsistencies. I could pick it apart like how one character was a fox and then a red panda or how that same characters G father was a pacifist but yet taught her how to fight, it really was a different set of books that shared the same characters names.
No longer did they seam like shifters.
No longer did the mates deal like mates.
Some even disappeared.
So many recollections of the past contradicted the earlier books.
The big part is that the MC no longer had an animal in him, no longer cared to grow as a shifter or a leader just reacted. It got bad enough that one starts to feel gaslighted into thinking you miss heard/read events in the previous pages.
Expectations shattered in the not so good way.
P.S.
I wrote this mid book 5. It just gets worst. Forced plot elements, emotional moments that are antithetical to characters. Tasks that come from nowhere with no impact or purpose.
I’ll finish the Omnibus because I’m a completouse but it’s painful and the first half carry the three star rating.
