Description

With a knife in his gut, Rowan figured he was destined to become just another corpse littering the slums of Taureen.

So he was fairly surprised to wake up in the back of a moving wagon with a couple of adventurers. Turns out that Rowan had been given something most street rats can only dream of—a second chance.

With only a sword, a spell book, and enough gold for tuition, he is thrust into a school for aspiring adventurers. A world full of haughty nobles, scions of wealthy families, and various other types of people he used to steal from.

Here, Rowan must vie for his place among students who have been diving in their family-owned dungeons for years, their bodies filled with dense mana instead of tavern scraps and the occasional pilfered apple pie. He will have to fight, study, and keep his true past a secret.

Because Faebrook Academy is his second chance. His last chance.

About the series: Follow Rowan, a lowly street rat, on his journey to becoming a legendary adventurer in a world where diving monster-filled dungeons infuses your body with mana and helps you climb from lowly bronze tier all the way to the fabled platinum tier. But first, he has to graduate.

Came for Pavi...Stayed for story

What a good book.
It was like a glass of refreshing water. I normally like to point out things that i dont like in my reviews because no book is perfect, but this was just...good. Im no stranger to the "fantasy orphan magic academy"story by any means, and I dont think I'll get tired of those troupes anytime soon. This book had all the familiarities you'd expect from a story like this but without all the 'fat'. No melodrama, no over moralizing, no crapping on religion, no messy love life, no overpowered protagonist, and no overly complicated magic system. He's just a kid with a good head on his shoulders, trying to be better with the second shot life granted him. The writing was smart, humorous,and well paced.The next book is a day 1 for sure.

I am so glad I took a chance on this

I saw Pavi’s name as the narrator and the story looked interesting enough and boy this was a flippin great buy, Pavi was perfect as always, he’s one of the best to ever do it, and the story oh the story, so much to unpack but I’d hate to ruin it for anyone, suffice to say you must take a chance on this book. I will be buying any books this author releases as long as they are even close to as good as this was.

A solid fantasy romp with a few pacing issues

I don't think I've ever been so frustrated by a book I enjoyed. While the story is solid and actually has a few points I really truly love, the pacing was off for me. The way that the protagonist basically refuses to interact with other people was tiring, and really dragged out the slow parts. The final third of the book where things really started getting interesting should have arrived earlier.
Also, it feels like the author didn't trust the reader to remember information - I found there was a lot of repetition for things we'd seen several times, which felt like it cut into progress.
That said, I really enjoyed the journey and now that Things Are Afoot, I'm very excited to get the sequel. The narrator also did a wonderful job.

Slow-paced, realistic and fascinating

This is a slow book. It's 23 hours long and it feels like the action could have been condensed to half that. But that would ruin the feel of the book.

Loremaster's description is a street rat who gets a second chance and attends a school for adventurers. And that's definitely a theme, but the 'street rat' part is all over by chapter two. Instead, the book spends nearly all of its length on the everyday school life of Rowan as he navigates a magic school for adventurers - one of only a few commoners there, badly behind the others in classes due to his lack of education. Through determination, Rowan pushes himself forward - but although he is talented, he is barely hanging on. If you're looking for an OP hero, move along. This is a story of an untrusting young man with potential, but whose improvement is hard and slow. He is bullied, but that's not dwelled on. He has powerful potential, but that's not dwelled on. He has few friends, but...well, you get the idea.

Many of the themes remind me of Harry Potter - the magical adademy divided into houses, the classes and professors, the exams - but Loremaster is much darker than Harry Potter, and the world more fantasy, where adventurers are a real job.

At times I wanted to shout at the author to just 'get to the point'. But at other times I really appreciated the loving, slow descriptions of food (those flaky pastry apple pies!), card games, even studying. There's definitely a charm to this book, and I was disappointed to see that book 2 has not yet been written.
