I read the book just fine. She was unable to continue her assault because Thrall physically stopped her. The only way she could continue was by killing Thrall.
A terrible sound, the cry of hundreds of enslaved elementals, shattered the air as the wave surged north.
“No!” cried Thrall. He shot out his arms desperately, pleading silently, "Spirit of air, hold them still! Do not let them be used to slay so many innocents."
He reached in his pouch and touched the small carvings that represented the elements. Their essences manifested in glowing, pulsing images of these figurines. Such a totem appeared at his feet as air came willingly to his call, and the wind that suddenly sprang up wrapped itself around the writhing wave, attempting to restrain the tsunami.
Jaina growled and gestured. The elementals wailed in agony as they were forced to fight against the binding of the wind.

“Release the wind, Thrall!” Jaina shouted. One hand still on the Focusing Iris, she drew back the other. Arcane energy whirled about her, tossing her robes and white hair. “Or I will kill you where you stand, and you will still fail!”
