About this listen

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.

Steady magical academy high fantasy story. Not isekai, despite the implications, which isn't a bad thing.

The characters are pretty good. No major plot holes, but there are a few minor continuity errors and narrative shortcuts that could have been easily edited away. They break the immersion a bit, but the story recovers quickly.

Overall it's a lot of school and homework and some amount of danger. If you don't like the setting, you won't like the story. But if a magical academy interests you, there's no reason not to give it a listen.

And can I say that it's good to not hear the words "tank" and "dps" in dungeon settings? Their etymology is so modern and specific that there's no conceivable way any setting other than our own could recreate them. Good job, author.

There's a section near the beginning where the Special Chosen One trope rears its head, but thankfully the plot doesn't lean heavily on it. The main character still has to sweat and bleed for sometimes mediocre results, but excitement takes many forms and the road to excellence is longer than one audiobook. Wherever this is going with the politics and the quest for power/greatness, it's not a sprint.

pretty good

Really scratches that itch. Solid story. If you like the magic boarding school stuff then hits the spot.

Excellent

I confess I am fickle and bought the book and the audible for the cover, then the summary and was glad I did as it was a great book, well worth my pennies.
The narration is clear without any frustrating quirks
Spoilers
Rowan almost dies on the streets, but is recused by two adventurers who set him up at Faebrook Academy where he needs to use all his street smarts to stay ahead of the nobles and keep from being a dagger pin cushion again, with a little help from a select few, but will it be enough to survive the year?

While I love slow paced stories this one is odd to me. the focus between slice of life and adventure is not done in a particular good way imo. furthermore, there are multiple characters breaks for mc being portrayed as a cutthroat street urchin then falling back on it and suddenly becoming an emotional dredge. I'm a sucker for the setting and overall the book is good, but it will never be in my top 10.

Good, but not great. Buy if you like slow paced story telling and the magic academy trope.

the story of a street rat was captivating and inspiring for a student like me. Also his origins are refreshing and adding cool attitude for the protagonist.

Over all amazing💕 and hope there's more to the serie🥺
