Description

The gods chose him. He said no.

After his parents died, Alex Roth had one desire: become a wizard. Through hard work, he was accepted into the University of Generasi, the world’s greatest academy of wizardry....

Fate, however, had another plan.

On his 18th birthday, he is Marked by prophecy as one of his kingdom’s five Heroes, chosen to fight the Ravener, his land’s great enemy. But his brand is "The Fool". Worst of the marks.

Rather than die or serve other Heroes like past Fools, he takes a stand, rejects divine decree...and leaves. With his little sister, his childhood friend, and her cerberus, Alex flees for the university, hoping to research the mystery of the Ravener. He’ll make lifelong friends, learn magic from mad wizards, practice alchemy, fight mana vampires, and try to pay tuition.

There’s one small problem. The Mark insists on preventing the Fool from learning and casting spells, while enhancing skills outside of divinity, combat, and spellcraft...that is, unless he learns to exploit the hell out of it.

Explore a coming-of-age magic academy fantasy with a weak-to-strong progression into power, a setting inspired by D&D, detailed world building, and magical science, action, comedy, slice-of-life, and GameLit elements.

With nearly 10 million views on Royal Road, this popular web serial has been completely revised and relaunched into this definitive version now coming to Audible, narrated by Travis Baldree!

setup

it's a book that mainly deals in set up but the world is exciting enough I didn't matter. I will be getting and continuing this series for sure.

Ending wasn’t anything special

Slow story. Lots of building, for a book 1 ending that didn’t come. Felt let down at the end. Here goes book 2!

A great intro to an interesting world.

Travis Baldree was a fantastic narrator. The world building was really quite good and character development was not lacking. Overall, a fantastic start to a hopefully long series.

Just a prologue

Great flow, entertaining, lovely storytelling, no plot progress, it feels like a long prologue.

What was this book

This book served no purpose… nothing happened in this book. Literally the most pointless book ever written. No plot progression from start to finish, no suspense…. It’s like listening to real life college but more boring, how the author did that while having a magical world I will never know. I listen to every second of the book expect something to eventually happen but only got disappointment.

Narrator was good.

Finally a Mc that’s not dumb or overpowered

So for the most part it starts out like a lot of these monster hunter dungeon core books. I enjoyed the characters and I will say so far the story development has been pretty good. Gets a little slow once Mc gets to the university but it sets up a nice set of obstacles and challenges to overcome. It is lacking some action but at least the MC isn’t an idiot that is always running into things and having to be saved or picking fights that end up getting him in trouble. I can not tell you the number of books I read that the MC is a complete fool and the fact this time he’s smart, calculating and patient is refreshing. I think it’s missing a little bit of story of what’s going on with the battle. I let’s getting a little repetitive at times. Also the endless skill learning is at least not over done and at least has some restrictions which is also refreshing. I would say for a first book it definitely leaves me wanting more. It’s my hope that this will become a great new series. As always Travis Baldree dose an amazing job with narration.

Best fantasy underdog story on audible

If you want a well written story where the characters earn all of their strength themselves and every arc is engaging, this is the story for you. Intelligent characters written by an intelligent author makes for an incredible story.

Sometimes Repetitive

Overall it was a good story. Slow character development (intentional and done well) but when the MC repeats his main handicap and how it negatively impacts his tasks over and over and over it seems like Clarke thinks we can’t understand the concept of what is holding the MC back. Honestly if you put the repeated sentiments all together it could take up to an hour of the audiobook. I powered through it and enjoyed it in the end; but I’m just not sure if I really want to continue to the next book or just call it quits. Narrator did a great job though.

Ending was frustrating but story was great!

So a great story with strong character building but I was a little frustrated with the ending of the first book.. in part because I wanted more but also because it just kind of left you hanging.

Woosh Bang Bam

Enroll in magic university and never graduate. Cerebral topics that will give you a headache. Petty conflicts. Monsters. No romance. Totally childish.

A slow burn but a good one

Firstly this is the first book in a series, so don't expect everything to be answered and clear by the end. It was an excellent slow burn with some high action points, but it will leave you wanting to read the next. I burned through it in about two days, so my thoughts may be biased, but I would say top-tier in the genre.

Not for me.

not my cup of tea. Lazy writing. Bad narration. Just my opinion. You may like it more than I did.
