Mark of the Fool 3: A Progression Fantasy Epic

Product Information

After his parents died, Alex Roth had a plan: become a wizard. Through hard work, he was accepted into the world’s greatest university of wizardry—but fate had another plan. He even thought of Brutus—brought home from the woods by Theresa as a pup—with his six eyes shining bright with curiosity. At last—after many months—Claygon had communicated, and that remarkable word had been his first. Alex had been granted that wondrous title, not by a toddler of his and Theresa’s blood, or a child adopted by choice, but by a golem crafted by his and his sister’s hands. It never happens. Instead, we get dumped in Hogwarts. That I kept reading is actually a testament to the quality of the writing because for me, magic school is an instant DNF. This street was usually one of the last to go dark. The Bear’s Bowl tavern would usually be spitting out drunken, brawling farmhands by now. As Alex passed by, the entire building was already dark and silent. The Lu Family inn would have firelight and laughter booming as the last diners finished up for the night, yet now there was only a small light burning through the shuttered windows. No guests could be heard.

Good, good, then we’ll figure out what you understand together!” Alex grinned. “But for now, we should go tell all our friends the good news! I mean…you can talk! A lot of people have been waiting for this for a long time.”Super-Strength: Body enhancing magic, again. Thundar as a minotaur is naturally very strong, but Grimloch, as a ten-foot tall humanoid shark, is by far the strongest. And then he starts learning lifeforce enhancement from Theresa... Exactly four hundred and fifty gold coins: the entire wealth of the Roth family after the fire had reduced their alehouse to rubble. The parent’s estate had been liquidated, placed into the town trust, and held until their first born child reached adulthood and could claim it under common law.

What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: The general attitude to the Fool's Mark. At best they're support or The Heart, in worse cases they become an Heroic Sacrifice or even undergo a Face–Heel Turn. On his 18th 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. It's clear the author doesn't know how to make the main love interest act. She just decides to go with the main character on a journey for little reason (which okay makes some sense because we don't know their previous relations too well) but then her parents are totally for it and let her go with the mc even though a second ago the father was all mad at him for being in the same room with her alone and they are also leaving. Why couldn't they just leave together? She also has a pet Cerebus who is only there to make her special. And, then there were titanic changes; ones with ripples that reached across land and sea, sweeping up all as they passed: the rise of a tyrant, the wrath of a deity, or the fall of an empire. Some were even greater, reaching across planes and affecting beings who dwelled in different worlds. Naw, that’s flour, idiot; you don’t recognize one of McHarris’ assistants? By The Heroes’ good graces, I’ve been on night watch with a blind man.” Paul shook his head and peered closer at the flour-encased youth. “Alexander…right? The Roths’ boy? What’s it you have to report?”Weapons-Grade Vocabulary: Alex goes with class, into hell. They discuss list of demons they may meet, and goal is triplets that have ability to laugh that directly harms people. Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Alex is worried about what Baelin will say when he learns Alex is the Fool, but Baelin points out he is far from the first student running from something, and in the wider picture it's really not that big a deal.

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.Weak, but Skilled: Alex will never learn a lot of spells, nor cast them particularly fast, but he can learn to cast them really well and learn to use them in unexpected ways. Damn,” he exhaled loudly, releasing the string. “That bastard was strong. I’ll need to build up to this.”
