Publisher's Summary

The Fool has returned to a realm in chaos.

As Generasi recovers from the wrath of a demon knight, Alex Roth travels to Thameland to uncover the mysteries of the Ravener. He and his friends have grown in power, ready to take on any threat lurking in the hills of Greymoor, where their university mounts their expedition.

But some things await Alex that no amount of training can counter.

For soon, the Heroes of Thameland will be reunited with the Fool.

And his secrets are on the line.

Book four of the best-selling series. Continue your fantastical journey into 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.

By far the best in the series!

This book was so great. By far the best in the series thus far. Lots of the intrigue started in the first book finally come to fruition and is built upon quite a bit and Travis crushes it as always. Excited for book 5 now!

Another great entry to the series

Great pacing in this book as well. Loved the progression.Some random teleporting from the 2 locations in the same day just to visit a random charactee for a chat were a bit hard to follow but luckily it was not too much and honestly i dont mind it since its keeping the story moving along. Looking forward to the next book!

Excellent as always, I think these books will need
To be 50 hrs long so I can get my fill. Hoping the next volume will be available soon! Great writing and narration.

Another step on the journey

Off the hop, you can tell that book 3 and book 4 were probably once the same book, since when characters appear we get very little in the way of introductions. Fine for fans, bad place to start for newcomers (but who starts on book 4 anyway?) That said, the narrator continues to do excellent work and should be proud of what they've done. Wonderful voice work, lots of variety, easy to distinguish. As for the story, well, it's pretty good. There were some revelations and developments in this book I'm excited to see the outcome of, but it was very focused on Alex's training to the detriment of everything else. I felt we lost out on more interesting interactions with the deep dive into his methods of training and the finer points of magic. Those things have their own charm, and I never stopped listening, but I really hope the next book eases off a little. Still, looking forward to more!

Too slow narrative, inconsistently fast mc

Overall story is pretty decent and works building isn’t too bad either. Too many unnecessary details make the book slow though. Also the main character is inconsistently becoming too strong too fast.
