Mark of the Fool: A Progression Fantasy Epic

Product Information

The initial plot hook is intriguing. A hero that runs? Quite unusual. The first few chapters are engaging, and we can't wait to get into the actual world-building, and fleshing out the mythology of this world... My only other complaint is that once the MC gets to the magic school part of the story, the little sister kind of vanishes. Sometimes for many chapters at a time. And that was a little bit of a bummer, because her presence very much made this story unique to me. She started popping up a little bit more toward the end, so hopefully that'll continue. The minotaur’s image shattered, as the bolt drove through the pazuzite’s skull. Ripp slipped from limp hands, and the air elementals were there, catching him on cushions of wind. Calm yourself.” Kaz-Mowang snorted, rolling his eyes. “Remember, I’m trying to capture you, not kill you. What happened with your orc friend was unfortunate, as most accidents are,” his eyes were focused on the swiftling cradled under the pazuzite’s arm.

The other bad writing was in the dungeon fight at the start of this book. It was basically a cut and paste of previous fights. Our author simply replaced the names of the monsters and the fighting locations, but everything else was pretty much status quo. There was may be one or two new fighting techniques, but the rest was a rehash. Paul shook his head. “The hell’s wrong with you?” He pointed up at one of the fountain’s statues rising over their heads. “Act the fool long enough and you’ll get the fool’s mark. That little sister of yours needs a brother she can rely on.” All in all it's a good story, but bear in mind you are going to learn a lot about student life and jump from feel good slice of life chapters to plot changing ones with no warning.The Fool—according to all Alex’s teachers—had nothing to offer anyone, save for a nominal but necessary service to the Heroes. Uldar’s Prophecies called those that bore the mantle necessary, but history had suggested otherwise.

Whistling a jaunty tune as the guards grappled with McHarris somewhere in the bakeshop, he strolled down the street with spirits higher than they’d been since before he and his sister were orphaned. On his eighteenth 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. That’s right!” Thundar roared, holding up a broken tiashiva beside a victorious Claygon. “Your great master is dead! If you don’t want any of this—” he gestured to the golem and Kyembe. “—then get the hells gone, before we get realnasty!” Despite her story happening parallel to the game's events, Ellina never meets or runs into the Knight in person during her exploration of Hallownest. The closest instance Ellina comes to encountering the Knight underground is only through noticing the painting of the Knight by Nailmaster Sheo.

The premise is an interesting one: A hero from long ago defeated a demon lord of sorts, but evil cannot truly die, it can only be sealed. For about 100 years to be exact. The hero left behind a prophecy/set of powers that chooses five random people who turn 18 on a given day every 100 years. Each of them is given powers representative of D&D archetypes: The champion (fighter), saint (cleric), sage (wizard), chosen (all-rounder multiclass), and the fool (an NPC who tags along, tends the horses, and probably dies tragically to incite the party to greater heights). The fool can't excel at anything combat, magic, or healing related, but has an ability that allows them to learn things at an extraordinary speed. This allows them to be the perfect support for the hero party. But it says something that those are my two complaints. Author winking at us with insider jokes and the sister not getting enough attention. Ellina is an expanded universe character who appears only within the Hollow Knight Wanderer's Journal- acting as the fictional author of the book. Her book details her experiences within the kingdom of Hallownest and acts as an outside source providing some unique reflections, accounts, and opinions on her findings. Ellina's character beyond her time spent in Hallownest is not explored and is unknown. Ah, my friend! You are just in time for what is not my last stand!” the warrior stabbed a blazing sword through a tiashiva, blowing it to bits.

Alex Roth froze in the middle of a disaster: collapsed shelving, shattered eggs and flour dust falling like snow in the middle of the bakery. The young man gave an awkward cough and wiped the white powder from his chestnut brown hair. “Does this mean you won’t be giving me this week’s pay?” All eyes turned to Kyembe, his ring still blazed, his face lit up. The Spirit Killer grinned, the light of barely restrained hellfire reflecting across his white teeth and crimson eyes.So far it's a decent series though the male MC is being portrayed (yet again) as a blundering incompetent fool, and the female he likes is strong, intelligent, and confident (never wrong about anything). Maybe he grows out of it in the second book, but in the first book he repeatedly screams in terror at things the the female MC shrugs off (in fact, everyone but him reacts better), and it's hard to relate to someone so cowardly. I enjoyed the premise of the story, a rural teen seeking to be a wizard, orphaned and foiled by an odd blessing, skips out on his destiny to attend h*gwarts. Although I like school better than hogwarts.

I didn't give it a 5 star rating be ause the characters are poorly developed. They're all just super good at everything and everything just sort of works out despite minor danger. Actually, the more I think about it, the more this seems like a fantasy-themed slice of life than high fantasy adventure.An instant later, Kaz-Mowang appeared where Alex had been. Golden lightning erupted all over the demon’s skin, as confusion marked his bloody face. 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...
