About this listen
Unique storytelling, fun, and terribly exciting. JE Frank’s debut novel blends thrills, action, and the power of friendship into an adventure that, when it’s over, will make you beg for more. Jump in, but hang on tight for the start of an epic series.
Johan loves the thrill. He jumps through the treetops just to look danger in the eye. When myth comes to life and the enemies who shouldn't even exist, appear in the forest, Johan has to face his ancestors' past. Is this an ancient feud or something new brewing? Even the gods cannot stop the young elf from pushing himself to the limit to save his friends and family.

Spellbinding Adventure
As an adult listener, I was surprised by how completely JE Frank's debut novel captured my imagination! The narrator perfectly brings Johan's daring personality to life - I felt transported alongside him, leaping through treetops and confronting mythical dangers with every twist of the story.
What makes this audiobook special isn't just the thrilling action (though there's plenty!). It's the emotional depth as Johan confronts his ancestors' past while fighting to protect those he loves. The friendship dynamics feel authentic, avoiding the typical YA clichés and delivering characters with genuine complexity.
Though marketed for young adults, this story offers layers that deeply resonated with me as an adult. The themes of failure, redemption, and confronting your past are universal, and Frank never talks down to the audience - a quality I particularly appreciated.
The production quality is exceptional, with distinct character voices and atmospheric sound effects that enhance the forest world without overwhelming the narrative.
By the final chapter, I was completely invested in Johan's journey and the unfolding mysteries. This audiobook proves that compelling storytelling knows no age boundaries.

Enthralling from Start to Finish
I picked up this book thinking I'd take my time, but I finished it in two days. The storyline drew me in, and I connected with the main character’s drive on a personal level. I recognized my own struggles in those tense moments, which made the story feel real. It’s not overly complex, but there’s enough intrigue to keep it exciting. I’m looking forward to seeing how things evolve in the next installment. This read definitely kept me entertained.

Soaring Adventure
JE Frank’s debut audiobook launches an epic fantasy series with a jolt of energy. Johan, a gutsy elf with a thing for treetop thrills, dives into a storm of mythical enemies and ancestral secrets. It’s a fast-paced blend of action, friendship, and mystery that grabs you and doesn’t let go—perfect for anyone craving an adventure that begs for a sequel. The narrator’s a champ, nailing Johan’s daring spirit with a voice that pulls you right into the forest fray. Distinct character tones and subtle sound effects amp up the vibe without drowning out the story.
It’s a solid, interesting listen. The action’s nonstop, and Johan’s loyalty to his friend and neighbors gives it real heart. The mix of myth and personal stakes kept me listening, and the production’s crisp. But my kids? They weren’t as sold—called it “middling.” Too much detail in the physical descriptions, like every move and tree branch, bogged it down for them. They shrugged and said it’s “what adults think kids like,” which stings a bit. Fair point: it leans hard into world-building and character development that I enjoy but didn’t it stick the landing for younger ears.
Still, if you’re up for a fun adventure with a hero worth rooting for, it’s a strong pick. Kids might tune out, but for me, it’s a win.

The storytelling is immersive, and Johan is such a daring and likable protagonist—his fearless nature and loyalty to his friends kept me hooked. The action scenes are intense, and the mix of myth, mystery, and adventure makes this audiobook impossible to pause. The narrator does an excellent job bringing the characters and the world to life.

Adventure and Action
Fall of the Willow, Song of The Willow Book 1 is an excellent introductory book series by Frank. Johan is a likabe, well developed character that kids can identify with. His adventures and twists of plot keep the listerner/reader immersed. This is an excellent listen for middle to upper elementary kids.
