About this listen

As the enemy escalates, it’s time for Alex to free himself of his limitations once and for all.

The Mark of the Fool.

A ‘gift’ from Uldar that enhances the bearer’s ability to learn any skill, but—in return—one cannot practise magic, engage in combat or use divinity at all. Alex Roth, the latest Fool, has found ways around his limitations.

Now, however, he has hit a wall.

To master the most powerful spells, Alex discovers that the Mark can no longer be worked around. It must be removed…or transformed. Luckily, The Fool of The Traveller’s cycle had laid down the groundwork to transform the Mark of the Fool, but her notes and equipment are hidden away in her sanctum somewhere in the far north.

If Alex wants to be truly free, he must find it.

And time is running out.

The Ravener continues to escalate and the hidden church hunts him relentlessly.

Will he transform the Mark in time and unleash his true potential or will his enemies find him first? In either case, their confrontation will be a mighty reckoning.

Book 9 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, deepening mystery, a setting inspired by D&D, detailed world building and magical science, action, comedy, slice-of-life, and GameLit elements.

Don’t split the party. Really at this point in the series he just went completely Fn stupid. The reason was so “I don’t want to put you in danger”……. Like he and all of his family and allies are not in danger in every damn book. That was weak. And mind you he still has the ability to teleport. He finds a sanctuary decides to lay a trap. Does not involve his friends and somehow they still end up in danger because of stupidity at this point it’s bad writing. Oh mind you he was in contact with his allies at all times could’ve invited them to help him. Because REASON. In other words, the author wanted to make them endanger. And that’s only midway through the book.

The biggest problem is, I know the author is a great writer, but this was not it.

I love this series BUT DEAR IS THIS BOOK PISSING ME OFF.

I love a good progression fantasy and especially when the hero starts to come into their power. This is a great entry and a great prep book for the final book in the series

Awesome

I picked this series up as something to listen to while waiting for others to release and its honestly been the most suprisingly good series ive listened to in a while. I honestly had no expectations going into this but when i say its better than youd expect that would be accurate. the characters all are individuals and i go from rooting for one to another in almost every chapter and if one ever annoys me I end up forgiving it by a chapter later. I also love the references this gives to another series the author writes with someone else. Good author IMO.

The Pay Off

Book 10. Although this has not been my favorite in the series it was necessary. Book 10 answers questions and is necessary for the progression of the story and character growth. I think the author did a great job all in all.
Mark Of The Fool is an exceptional series and I am eagerly looking forward to Book 10 and hopefully beyond the current war to o see how the characters lives grow and a new adventures with the laugh out loud moments that I have found so engaging.

This book is a bridge.

This is a very satisfying entry with the right balance of action and exposition. I'm looking forward to the final entry in the series.

Very Satisfying entry in the series.

I slays love the idea of an over powered main character, but this is a different kind of over powered, it’s the idea of using what you are amazing at to fill in the gaps

Why this is my favorite series

Big fan of all these books, especially the first half where everything is brand new. I hope the next book is filled with mayhem and carnage, a pure slaughterfest. Awesome so far. Thanks for not sucking! This series is a big stick beating down all the other garbage around it.

This series is b*tchin'
