About this item

Armed with new knowledge, Alex is confronted by ancient conspiracies.

After going to hell and back, Alex Roth has gained knowledge about the Traveller, Thameland’s cycle, and the hidden priests that serve Uldar’s will.

Anticipating his identity being discovered sooner or later, he plans to make himself so famous and indispensable to Generasi that the priests would not even have a prayer of dragging him into the war’s frontlines.

With newfound power, he and his companions seek to prove themselves once more in the Games of Roal, all the while Alex expands his business empire, grows stronger and researches his foes.

But those foes are not idle.

Ancient alliances are renewed, and revelations about the truth of Thameland’s cycles will change Alex’s role in his kingdom, his school, and even in his own life.

Forever.

Book 7 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

    5.0 out of 5 stars Best cliffhanger ending of any book yet

    This is one of the most memorable series available. The pacing, enemies, battles are amazing. Heroes are all believable and acts with common sense. Long story short, a must read.

    Great variety of themes. Very little wasted space in the book. Lots of plot points and small things sometimes mentioned several books prior coming to fruition.
    Pretty impressive writing organization and planning.
    Characters are great, progression is awesome and entertaining.
    There are a few times I think the author needed better proofreading and beta readers. There are some numbers instead of letters in a few places.... also he used a few words and idioms incorrectly, but i won't complain too much because he's almost 2 700 page books a year seems like.
    Good book, looking forward to the next.

    The “Mark of the Fool” series continues to be excellent. If I could give this a 4.5, I would in a heartbeat. But I won’t give it a 4, because it’s better than that.

    My -only- complaint? There were a lot of errors in the text itself. Like it wasn’t properly reviewed/spell-checked. And not grammatical errors, I mean spelling and word and even numbers where letters should be errors.

    Again, this story is so good. Really is. The narrative is excellent, the depth of the plot, amazing. I’m excited for the next one in the series, but this does feel slightly rushed.

    Another fantastic edition to the series. So many ups and downs.

    That ending blew my mind. I suspected it, but it was framed fantastically. I can't wait for book 8 to come out.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Another fantastic entry

    The book picks up immediately after the end of Book 6. As others have said it seems like it might have better belonged to the previous volume.

    It is a great battle and then our heroes get to return home. After that Baelin departs to repay his Cabal members.

    Spoilers below....

    Love is in the air. Khalik and Sinope are engaged, Alex and Theresa get engaged, Thundarr finally realizes he likes the Sage and asks her out...
    Carey London finally talks with Alex and he introduces her to the Traveller (aka St. Hannah Kim), which helps her spiritually.

    I loved seeing Lucia come back and with so much more joy in her life. Alex's opening of the Roth Family Bakery was amusing, as was concluding the previous owner's storyline.
    The Games of Roal was decent, but with how upgraded everyone was it seemed like a walk in the park, save for the final battles.

    We got some good level ups this novel.
    Alex figured out teleportation using the Traveler's power (so no Mana). Brutus became Theresa's Blood Familiar - making him much bigger and stronger. Selina finally learned fire magic (from Khalik's mom!). Thundarr infused shadow essence into his illusions (so they can start interacting with the real world). Oh, and Claygon is now an Iron Golem.

    This generation's holy Saint has been having trouble. He's been excluded from all the other Heroes' activities since they don't want him to know Alex is the Fool. That leads to him being too trusting which results in him allowing Carey to be kidnapped by the secret church. They tell Carey she'll never leave their cloister, but tell Merhzin other things to try and get him on their side.

    Alex and all the expedition forces, plus the heroes track her down. They start the climactic battle and it is a doozy. Alex is finally revealed as the Fool, and the First Apostle is revealed to be the Chosen of 500 years ago! He used Life Enforcement to keep himself hale and hardy. He attacks and tries to kill basically everyone. It looks like things are going to work out for him when Carey sacrifices herself to set off the Dungeon Core Chaos Bomb.

    Alex fights through his mark to teleport the First Apostles arm which almost kills Alex. Merhzin shows up and starts healing. First Apostle manages to help all his people escape to an island to the north.
    Carey's... Specter comes and aids everyone (thanks to the Traveller) and they go to Uldar's sanctum.

    There we find out that the Mark of the Fool replaced the Mark of the General. In Uldar's hall are pictures of every team, and they see when it was changed (or "patched" as Hannah told us I'm a prior novel). The General looks like he might have also commanded Ravener forces. Presumably we'll learn more next volume.

    The final bombshell... Uldar is dead!
