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.

Although I am enjoying this series of books it is not progressing as fast as I would hope.

Fantastic series, still being amazing.

I love it. I love that the series keeps a progression fantasy vibe while not having overly present status windows, skills, and other tropes (this and The Hedge Wizard are both great at this), `The power system is still great and a far better take on the unwanted power trend. Also, when a series doesn't slouch on the slice of life aspect and manages to show the main character learning and growing, it is a brilliant thing. I genuinely enjoy listening to these books, and I only gave the story a 4 because while it was fantastically written (no overly repetitive words and fantasy terms) the series' story itself wasn't very prevalent until the end - though it is much better like this than being rushed. Mr Baldree did a brilliant job as always, he's probably my favourite narrator (with Heath Miller) and I am amazed how he keeps such clear distinction with both the characters in this series and in others, like The Primal Hunter. Bailyn (am I spelling that right?) is one of the most entertaining characters I have had the privilege of listening to, and the humour of each character was tasteful and not pushy. Definitely one of the best series I have read or listened to, and I can't wait for the next instalment.

P.S.
I never really notice the litRPG elements, as it is a wonderful story on it's own with much less game-like tropes than other's of the 'genre', which makes it feel far more unique and well written, and more like a proper story.

Good story to continue

Another good story to continue reading from where book 3 left off. Worth listening to if you have already listened to the previous ones.

Pleasant but doesn’t really deliver

At the end it felt like the story had finally warmed up and the real meat of the tale was going to begin. Alas that’s where the book ends. Nothing pivotal happens nor did any event have anything real at stake. No dire consequences, no no-way-back choices to make or anything that helped the bigger overarching story move along. The previous installment set us up for a whole bunch of super interesting avenues and plots. None of which were truly explored or furthered significantly whatsoever. Even the slice of life parts felt shallow. Not a bad book and most of it is absolutely saved by Travis performance. But for the 19hrs it asks of you, it really under delivers. It felt like a book that has been cut in two parts and this was the introductory half of it.

Pretty good

Similar to earlier books. Wish focus even more on characters and less on fighting. At least shorter fights.
